The Mets are on FIRE!! In their last 10 games they are 9-1 and on a current seven game winning streak. The bats are out and the Mets are taking over the NL East.
No dream here folks. Or look back to the past either. This is all real.
In their entire existence of 41 years, the Mets have had only two homestands like the one they just finished. The first was in August of 1969 and the other in September 1988.
First baseman Ike Davis’ call up to the majors has brought some much needed p
ep into New York for the Mets. Citi Field is alive with Met runs and cheering fans. Cheering Mets fans, of course.
The defense is right on par, pitching is great. And we’re scoring! Not as many people are being left on base, a huge plus for this team.
The top three pitchers have an ERA under 1, while the team’s total ERA averages 3.06.
But lets get back to Ike Davis and his impact on the te am. He was called up April 19th and immediately played that night after leaving Buffalo, where he was with the Triple-A Bisons. He’s playing well and the hope he has brought to the team is great for Mets fans. Forget “I like Ike,” I’m changing it to “I love Ike.”
Davis hit his first major league run last Friday against the Braves. It was a 450 foot shot to right center. After the game, Davis said “It felt really good," Davis said. "I don't know if I've made a big impact or not, but the team is starting to play well."
Well Davis, you have made a huge impact. And yes, the team is starting to play well. Bring it on MLB, the Mets are back. We’ll just have to wait until September to see if it’s for real, or if we’re in for another horrid last-minute choke…
