Full Steam Ahead

It is early, still only the second week of May, but this is time of the season is exciting to be a Mets fan.  This team is producing results.  They're charismatic, they're energetic, they have a never say die attitude and that is translating into wins.

For the first time in six years, the Mets went into Philadelphia and swept away a series from the Phils.  At some point in all three games, the Mets found themselves down, and facing a number of quality starters.  But this team never laid down.  They fought and battled and rallied.  When they did enough damage to get the opposing starters out of the game, the Mets batters feasted on the weak bullpen of Philadelphia.

That right there is what good teams do.  They find the weakness in their opponent, wait for the right moment, and exploit it!  Teams can get an anxious and too worrisome if they are not scoring runs early enough and are always playing from behind.  But this Mets team knew to be patient, that their opportunities would be presented later in the game.  Bide your team and the results will come.  And that's exactly what's been happening.

This is a team that will still cause fans grief every now and then, but there seems to be much more positives coming from them.  Almost the entire roster is contributing in a positive nature.  It's a fun time to be a Mets fan.
