The Mets are looking every bit the solid team so far. Yes, I know. They have only played five games. Yes, I know. The beat up on the Nationals, a team just one year removed from expansion. Yes, I know. They whupped Florida--a team that has like two starters still there from last year.

But hey, Florida and Washington and Philly are all teams in transition. The real test comes against the Braves. And the Mets did look solid. Solid starters. Solid hitting. Solid defense. And even--dare we say this--a solid bullpen. Yesterday's win against against Willis was huge. Let's hope it portends wonderful things to come.

Mets and Rangers are off tonight, although Base10 may try to catch a bit of the Philly-Atlanta game. You know, scope out the enemy.
