Dave's Mostly Mets Blog

Quick Post 

I don't have much time to write this morning so I'll be quick.

The Mets managed to prevail in Houston yesterday beating the Astros bullpen to capture their 4th win in 5 games. Why is this so important? Because in those 5 games they faced Randy Johnson, Brandon Webb, Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte & Roger Clemens. These are 5 of the top pitchers in the league. And even though they didn't necessarily beat one of these pitchers (for instance Clemmens was dominant in his innings yesterday and was already out of the game when the Mets tied and eventually won) it showed that they can at least hang in there and compete with the best of them. Let's just hope they don't turn into one of those teams that rise to the occasion when competing against the best and then show how lousy they can truly be when play against lesser opponents. (That happens every year to the Knicks.)
