10 games without Edlose start off well, even though Shawn Reed-Garrett or whoever finished did his best to scare the frip out of us.
And even though the Aged Starling Marte needs a rest cure. Gives us a chance to see Ben "The Camel" Gamel in Mets colors. Yay?
Still, the Queens Qrushers showed that Bronx team how it's done. 4 bombs (Mr. Pointy, The Bronxville Kid and Vientos [dos]) give the Mets 17 taters in 7 games. Keep that up and maybe they'll get back to .500 soon. Like…tomorrow?
Huh, and here I though Ronnie was full of it when the Mets were 22-33 after the Dodger disaster and he was like "well, you just have to be 11 games over .500 in the next 55 games and then". Aside from my recoiling from the idea that utter mediocrity "merits" a playoff spot of any sort, I didn't think the team had it in them. Shows what I know. 16-6 since then, haven't lost a series.
("Vientos" apparently means "Winds" in Spanish, so we need to think of an appropriately Aeolian nickname for him. All I've got right now is "Blowhard", which seems unnecessarily mean.)
