The Mets have won 10 in a row and are now tied for first place in the NL East. They answered my call to come out of the 3-1 series win in Philly with a 4-2 or better record against San Francisco and Colorado. After last nigh's come from behind win, on the one month date of Willie's ax, the Mets look like they are on fire. But are they for real, the Mets I know and love will now go lose 5 in a row. Will that happen?
That is a question for time to tell. After this series with the Reds, the Mets face Philly at home. So the next six games are critical for the Mets to show us what they are made of. Winning both series will prove that. After the Philly series, the schedules are about the same for both teams, but the Phillies have one West Coast trip that the Mets do not have to make-the Mets made several West Coast trips in the first half.
I am not completely a believer yet, but getting there.
