I need the Mets to win 10 in a row or lose 10 in a row

It looks like we’ll get meaningful games in June.  That’s a good thing.

What’s worrisome to me is the sort-of-in-it status of the team.

If the Mets are 10 games out it’s kind of easy to pack the moving truck and reload.  If they are 5-ish back, it’s a lot harder, especially when you have to factor in tickets/media/fans etc.

Will Sandy find himself in the same boat as Omar did – with a team that probably isn’t good enough, but sort of hanging around?

With the ongoing ugliness of the Madoff mess looming over the franchise, and Mets fans staying away from Citi Field in droves, this is a club in bad need of income and a good run of baseball. Having a premier gate attraction in his prime is a good place to start. Reyes happens to be as great a show as there is in baseball, every single night.Could you imagine the backlash if the Mets were to have an August fire sale and trade a 27-year-old, home-grown shortstop who can win a game with his bat and glove and legs?

Can you imagine if the 27 year old SS walks and they get nothing back but draft picks?

Scary times…a 10 game win streak or losing streak would clear up this picture.  Sure they’ve played well since Bay returned, but they are still 6 out and under .500

The Mets tweeted this from their @newyorkmets account today.

You can see Reyes about to get on the bus here.

Shannon’s fav guy Dan Murphy

I think that is Niese poking his head up a few rows behind Mookie Wilson. I wonder if he is saving Murphy a seat by saying…Hey I am with #28
