Thats what I'm talking about

Two out of three. Not quite a sweep, but a very acceptable weekend. Pound the bad teams and get a winning streak going, that's all the Mets need right now.

Carlos, if you always want to use a pink bat that's fine by me. Seriously. Maybe it has the same effect on the pitcher as the pink locker room does to Iowa opponents.

Beltran has been on a hot streak these last couple games. He's raised is average from .216 earlier in the week to up in the .250s, and has driven in 8 runs in the past two days. Coincidence that the Mets have won 3 out of 4, I think not.

But the most important thing right now is the way the Mets are tacking on runs. At least 8 runs in 3 of the last 4 games, including back to back 12 spots, is a great way to win some games. The way the team is scoring is encouraging as well, picking up two out RBI. If you watch SportsCenter (or is it Baseball Tonight) you know two out hits get you to heaven. I don't know about heaven, but winning games is nice.

Let's keep it up against the Nationals.
