If it isn't our old friend, Winning Streak. It's great to see ya, it's been a long time since we've had you around these parts. What's that you say, "coming home to Citi Field was blessing in disguise". Oh really! And "Ike Davis is the real deal, home grown, first baseman, that the Mets have been looking for". That's what Mets fans love to hear, Winning Streak. Yes, we agree, "Mike Pelfrey is awesome!" How long do you plan on staying around here in New York?
Oh, "Just until Oliver Perez pitches" you say. Well that's too bad, because he pitches tonight against the Dodgers.
Mike Pelfrey has been nothing more then solid, effective and dominating, winning his first four starts and throwing 24 consecutive scoreless innings. He got his 4th win last night, even with his splitter and fastball not working during the rainy night against the Braves. The Mets unfortunately haven't been scoring many runs for their pitchers. Their defense has been superb and when they do score, it hasn't been from the long ball, the Mets actually are manufacturing runs with stolen bases, sacrifice flies and smart base running. Hopefully the Mets bats will get hot, and when Carlos Beltran gets back in the lineup, who knows how many runs they will score. But for now, 1 or 2 runs seems to be enough for the Mets pitching, but everyone knows that can't last very long.
