Meet The (Red Hot) Mets


Red hot is the only way to describe the Mets who have now won 17 of their last 22 after sweeping a three-game series in Milwaukee. Who could have predicted a sweep of a Brewers team that had won 9 of their last 10 at Miller Park before the Mets came in and feasted on them like Bratwurst.

Now the Amazin’s get a day off before welcoming the Phillies into Shea Stadium for a big weekend series…the last meeting of the regular season between the teams. The Mets have had the better of it between the two National League East rivals this season but this series will be a war. Both teams got some help when the rosters expanded on September 1st and all hands will be on deck at Shea…Jerry Manuel is not afraid to use his entire pitching staff to finish a game.

Final thought….is there anyone out there you thought Carlos Delgado would turn it around in the second half and actually be an MVP candidate?
Liar….nobody did!
