Mets on a Roll

So I know I shouldn't jinx it so I'll talk past tense. The last 7 games the Mets have played they have looked really good doing it. They are 1)hitting the ball with runners in scoring position. This particular skill is very important to scoring runs and getting teammates to go home. After all isn't that what everyone wants in life? To get home safely? Omir Santo (who? you may ask) the backup- and now with Castro non functional with the hammy the starter is a nice hitter. He (unlike many on the Mets) is content to get a hit rather than the five run homers that others swing for. He got a nice hit to drive in two yesterday with the Mets trailing by one. 2) They are piling on runs late. The early season trend was to a. get off to small lead, b. never score again and lose the game. Thankfully (and ok it was against the Pirates, but still....) the Mets scored some insurance late. (Cue the Gecko....)

Anyway today the Mets find themselves looking down at everyone else in the division; which is great news having almost had them written off a week and a half ago. Lets see if they can keep it going.

In other news I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my fantasy baseball team, yes I am in second place, but the gap between first and second is widening, and I can't recover the gap just on my own, but the rest of the league seems unwilling or unable to help out. Plus I desperately need a closer, as I'm down to one.
