Sweep

It's become a consistent scenario over the last few series; get swept, sweep a series, get swept, sweep a series.  So yeah, the Mets are 6-6 over their 12 games, but when the winning is taking place, it feels so damn good.

Dillon Gee did his part and answered the bell last night.  He took a one-hitter into the 8th inning and then watched as the bullpen held on for his fifth win of the year.  The Mets completed the sweep and will now get a well deserved day off heading into the their series against the Yankees; the first team to sweep the Mets in this stretch.

This team is easy to love.  They're so young and naive that they don't know they are suppose to roll over and fall apart when a game or two doesn't go their way.  They just battle hard, put the nose to the dirt and grind it out.  The team's record is back up to six games over .500, where it's been for most of the season.  But they are only three games out of first.  It's there for the taking.  They can smell it.
