Road Kill

The Mets take their winning combination of timely hitting and great pitching to the road. R.A. Dickey has proven that he can pitch with the pelfreys, and the Nieses. His knuckler dips, spins, and confuses both batter and catcher. But however he does it; he knows how to pitch; and he knows how to win.

This is a highly impressive win. As I have advanced in a previous column; it will be the road that determines if this team is for real. And it is particularly encouraging that it comes against a mediocre team. As we well know; The Mets famously lose to all the weak and anemic teams. And in fact they do it by beating themselves.

But again, this team is starting to put all the pieces together. If they can continue their winning ways on this road trip, we might just have an interesting year. This might be the start of a thrilling....
