A nice thing the Mets have done is included me on the media distribution list so now I get official communications (much much appreciated) including the post game notes.
I imagine most folks will be focused on the shutouts – names live Seaver and Koosman involved in the only other series shutout and names like Gooden and Darling involved in the last time the Mets pitched three straight shutouts.
What caught my eye in the notes is that Reyes is hitting .333 since returning to leadoff, and for the season is .313 at Citi and .161 on the road.
The Mets need a good series this weekend. The 10:05 starts in SD next week will allow for some sin-hiding but right now the fans are jazzed, the Jerry Watch is on hold, and eyes are on the Mets. Usually that’s a recipe for getting swept on the road by a lousy team.
