Above: View of Mets vs. Nationals Game in Washington D.C on Friday NightTHE GOOD NEWS: David Wright is hitting .455 since his return to the Mets, with 15 hits in 33 at-bats. Mike Pelfrey had his best game so far this year in Cinci and the Mets continue to win with Dillion Gee on the mound. They have scored 8+ runs in 4 straight games.
THE BAD NEWS: Unfortunately, Jason Bay has hit .203 in the month of July. So, while the Mets have been able to beat up on some bad pitchers, facing the sub-.500 Cincinnati and even worse Washington, they will face some real tests starting Monday, facing their division rival and nemesis Florida Marlins. New York will be facing the Marlins without Carlos Beltran, having already lost 2 out of 3 games in Miami last week with Beltran playing.
Still, the Mets are 4 games above .500 for the first time this season and have won 5 games in a row. While they are still 6+ games out of the Wild Card race, it's exciting to see them pushing for gold with Santana's return less than a month away. Lets Go Mets!
