Nice Finish

The Mets left for the All- Star break with a big victory over The Braves. What could have been a disastrous conclusion to the first half of the season turned into a feel good win with a lot of optimism for the second half.

Santana was nothing short of brilliant. Any concerns about his health or abilities have been put to rest. He is the ace, and with a well rested Pelfrey, Dickey, and Niese; The Mets rotation should be more than adequate for the pennant race. Angel Pagan finished strongly and made a convincing argument why he needs to stay in the lineup. Jose Reyes should be well rested and ready to go, and I also believe that we are going to see a more confident and aggressive Jason Bay. I think his power numbers will go up. The biggest question mark is going to be carlos Beltran. How long will it take for him to find his hitting groove? How will jerry Manuel handle the juggling of outfielders?

The Mets are four games behind Atlanta...not bad....could be a lot worse

Enjoy The All - Star Game! METventure 2010 rolls into high gear on the west coast...Late nighters.
