A Jason Phillips home run. Key hits from Kaz Matsui and Cliff Floyd in the ninth inning. A come from behind win. The Mets showed character in the way they picked up after their starting pitcher, Tom Glavine, had a sub par outing. In this game (as well as Sunday's 13 inning thriller) they showed the character of a winner.
Enjoy the moment but don't get too excited. Making the leap from one game under .500 (19-20) to actually being .500 is bigger than it looks. It could still be a few days before they reach .500. And even when this goal is attained it is still just a sign of mediocrity. All it says is that this team is no longer a loser. It doesn't mean they are winners yet.
I know this is a cynical point of view but it's something we must keep in mind. Live in the moment and celebrate the current good fortunes. But remember that there is still a long way to go.
