Well that was fun wasn’t it? After a ridiculous amount of games without a grand slam, the Mets hit two in one trip through the lineup last night. Jose Reyes had ANOTHER 4-hit game, his second in as many days and he’s reached based nine of his last 10 appearances. Bay had one of those grand slams, Dickey gave the team length and the Mets climbed above .500 baseball on the season. They remain five games out of a playoff spot, but there is a lot of baseball yet to be played. Jose Reyes has as many triples as 17 other major league clubs and still hasn’t gone two consecutive games without reaching base.
What’s not to love about this team right now? The Mets schedule is still tough in the immediate future, but they have a chance to put .500 behind them for good. The way they’re playing, I believe they can do that no matter who’s in the other dugout. Being able to add David Wright to this mix is going to be a nice bonus as well.
Whereever this team is going, the ride sure is fun!
