Just Another Game

Last night was a great night.  But not because the Mets beat the Yankees for the first time in 2012.  No, last night was a great night because the Mets won.  The only time it matters more when they are beating a NL East opponents.  Wins are wins and the Mets have been racking them up.

Moving seven games over .500 leaves the Mets only two and a half games behind the Nationals, and about six games clear of the Marlins and Phillies.  The Braves seem like a team that will not go away lightly though, they're hanging just a half game behind the Mets.

But last night was a great night because they got the win.  Jon Niese continued the torrid starting pitching stretch, tossing up a solid six plus innings.  The power is still showing signs of staying hot, with Ike Davis putting up a three run shot in the first.  Oh yeah, Ike is still coming around.  That's great news because we all know the Mets need that pop in the middle of the lineup.  Mr. Today's Franchise David Wright just does what he does, hit the ball, contributing with two more hits.

They have another game tonight.  And that's it, just another game.  Keep plugging along, keep trucking, keep winning.
