Today is April 8th, later tonight Bartolo Colon will take on Ex-Met Aaron Harang.
Last week had it's ups and downs if you were a Mets fan. I'm a Mets fan, and I hate to admit it sometimes. The first series of the season explained why. I will also admit I was one of the many to jump off ship, just after game 3 vs the Nationals. This bullpen is still a huge question mark and may lose the Mets too many games this season. The loss of Bobby Parnell is a big shot to the leg, but Sandy Alderson needs to get a Veteran RP to stop the bleeding. Household names like Kevin Gregg, Joel Hanrahan, and Ryan Madson come to mind.
This team, besides the bullpen has the talent to between 80-85 games this season. They showed me that vs the Reds. They have the fight in them to win, but when you can't hit and your pitching pitches good enough to win, there is something wrong.
Yes, the Mets are missing that Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Mike Trout, Robinson Cano, etc. type of guy, but they do have David Wright. When he has protection, the guy can hit, and right now he is doing way too much. At least he is trying to. Basically what I'm trying to say is go trade Montero/Flores/Davis and get a 253/25/70 First Baseman.
The Mets may go 77-85 or 85-77, this team may be fun to watch or they may not, but in the end it's way to early to freak out at 2-4. Remember the 86 Mets started off 2-3.
