It's time to get excited again folks. This blog is about to make a serious run. I mean it. So far this season, this blog has had some ups and downs. We flaked on the position by position Spring Training preview, started out pretty slow on traffic, had an amazing run of huge traffic days with lots of posts for about a 2 week span, and since then we have been lying in the weeds with some good posts at times and other days not showing up at all. Well, we're back. Things were busy, we had some distractions, enough is enough. Sure, we may be a little bit understaffed at times. We still have 2 solid writers here though even if Mets Koolaid fans think that it's time for a management change! We're ready to pledge to you at least a post a day for the foreseeable future. It's time to let the koolaid pour again!
Sound familiar?
Alright, we admit it - we've been slacking. Mike and my calendars are clearer now and that excellent performance against the Yankees this past weekend have given us a renewed spirit and a new batch of Koolaid is brewing as we enter into another crucial series with the Phils. This time, it's on our turf. What does that mean? No more popups that turn into home runs, no potential for fans to throw up on other fans or players, no potential for a mid-inning break to taze a fan.
I think the most important thing to realize going into this series is the Mets have momentum and nothing to lose. The Phillies came out and beat the Mets when we were on our best run of the season. We were in first place and they sent us down the standings. Well, now it's their turn. We have the middle of our order starting to wake up, we're at home where a battered pitching staff has the luxury of huge and deep walls to keep balls in the park, we just took 2 of 3 from the Yankees, and we're expected to lose here.
If the Mets can't beat the Phillies here, raise your hand if you'll be surprised. Okay, now explain to the person sitting next to you at work why your hand is raised. Now take a sip of koolaid and think about what this beautiful Memorial Day weekend will be like when the Mets have just come off two victorious series against our two biggest rivals and getting ready to leave on a road trip to visit the struggling Brewers. We could be sitting here next week talking about another great run that this team has gone on, except now it's for good. Some signs of life, a few wins, a quick move for another starter (out of Houston maybe?), and we're back in business. We've been saying it all along and there have been hints that this team can be good. The season is still just in its second month and it's time for a turnaround.
It's time for a run, both on this blog and on the field. So sit back, relax, and pour yourself a nice tall glass of koolaid to enjoy it. Let's go Mets!
