Well, that's one way to get back on track. Just bash the hell out of the baseball, score the most runs as a team in about three years, and pitch well.
Going into this afternoon's matinee, most figured that Jon Niese would give the Mets a chance to win. He's done it almost this entire season and especially so during afternoon games. But the biggest questions by far would be the team defense and the sleepy offense.
In the end, both woke up. The Mets played a clean game behind Niese and contributed 17 runs, the most since they scored 18 runs in 2009 also against the Cubs.
Daniel Murphy smacked his first two home runs of the season, Ike Davis had three more hits (including a three run home run) which pushed his average above .200 for the first time all season, and David Wright tacked on five RBIs.
It's a breath of fresh air to watch as a Met fan. The team hadn't had an offensive, no brainer output in a long time. But on the other end, have been in a few games this season that has gone against them. Hopefully they did not use all their offense since there are still many a games to go this season.
And it's outta here!
