New York Mets Podcast #20
It’s a juggernaught! Mets have taken 7 of 8 on a road trip that could have been disastrous. The bats have really gelled and the team is taking advantage of opponents mistakes while creating their own opportunities with speed and aggressive play. Finally, Pedro Martinez gets runs support. Even Eli Marrero got into the act.
Tom Glavine was weak for the second straight start but he got support and the team gets the win in the series opener. Wright, Delgado and Beltran homer for the Mets. Chad Bradford has a huge hold in the fifth inning. Concern with Aaron Heliman and another bad outing. But Billy Wagner picks the team up with a two inning save. The Phils and Braves are fading fast at this rate.
I take a look at the first weekly poll results and talk about the second one that is still open until Sunday. Both have to do with Lastings Milledge. Why not? This kid is the future of the Mets.
Some trade talk. I’ve been hearing that Cliff Floyd should be used as potential trade bait. Some folks agree, others (including me) don’t agree. Can’t wait til he gets back from his ankle injury but there’s certainly no rush. The Mets should wait and see what we get from the next couple of Orlando Hernandez starts before thinking of deals.
Mets homestand is coming up so get out and support the team if you can. They deserve the cheers for their performance over the last week. Nine games at the end of the month in AL parks means that we get an extra hitter for the DH.
Now Let’s Go Mets and sweep the Phils into oblivion!
