A Grand Sweep

A sweep of the Brewers and a grand slam by Ryan Church added up to a good day yesterday. Add a loss by the Philadelphia Phillies and it was as successful a day as the Mets could have. Certainly it is a good sign to see Church hit a homerun, let alone a grand slam. His offensive numbers have, understandably, been down since his return. One homerun does not prove anything but if it is a sign that he is returning to the Ryan Church of old (earlier this year) or even half that player, it is a good sign.

Last year the Mets showed that if you get cold at the wrong time, it can be devastating. The Rockies proved that if you got hot at the right time, it could be amazing. It is not quite the point in the season last year where the Rockies got cold but it this is the point where the Mets are getting hot, or staying hot, then watch out.

I am at the point where I truly expect to see the Mets in postseason (as long as typing that did not just jinx the team). It is fun and exciting to watch. And Friday starts a series with the Phillies!


Let’s Go Mets!
