Fantastic weekend, the Mets have put together a stretch of consistent baseball. It finally feels good to be a Mets fan again.

After the Fox broadcast and listening to Tim McCarver spout nonsense all Saturday afternoon (“Nothing good can happen after a leadoff walk.” I don’t know, how about a double play?) I decided to go and watch the game at the Fox and Hound where they mercifully play music rather than force there customers to endure Joe Morgan and Jon Miller. After the game was over, Takin Care of Business came on, I shit you not.

I’m not really buying the whole sit-down with management and singling out Delgado is the source of the Mets recent turn around. The players are likely coming out of a normal, unusually simultaneous slump, a team wide regression to the mean if you will. The sit down with management and sit down of Delgado did make me feel better.

I won’t say I am upset that Sunday’s game was moved to Sunday night for ESPN. I always felt it’s kind of a special thing to be a national game. If anything, we can appreciate Keith Gary and Ron more.

On that same note, SNY’s coverage has been fantastic lately. Let Keith do all the games behind the plate, I love to hear his analysis of a pitcher from field level.

The Mets are West Coast after only 23 hours after the last game ended. Who better to send to the mound after traversing the country than that emotional rock Oliver Perez and his laser beam like focus. What could possibly go wrong?

Pedro Martinez pitches Tuesday and though I’ve pretty much resigned myself not to expect another inning out of Pedro all year, I’ll be cringing on every pitch and every fielded ball.
