How 'Bout Them Mets!
The Mets finally won a series in Atlanta. That's nice, but it's a shame that Trachsel pitched so poorly yesterday. Mets lose 5-8. Just remember, the team is still 16-8 and six games ahead of Atlanta. That is something to take away from a long road trip.

The weekness of the Mets just now seems to be the starters. Trachsel and Zambrano are obviously inconsistent. I won't say weak, since they are both capable of pitching gems. The good news is that you have Heilman who is certainly capable of starting. (Indeed, you could have made the argument last year that he should have been starting instead of Zambrano). But Willie Randolph seems to be determined to leave this kid in the bullpen for some reason.

Mets face Washington tonight in a two-game series, Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Thursday and Atlanta again over the weekend, but this time at home in Shea. And remember, right now, we don't suck.
