This is why you have to play the games.
With all the talk of how much the Mets stink and how bad they play at times, the Mets now sit one game above .500 and are only 2.5 games behind the Phillies (2 in loss column).
The Mets have six games left before the All Star Break, three each against Colorado and San Francisco at home. The Phillies will welcome St. Louis and Arizona into Citizen's Bank Park for their final six games.
New York has a definite shot at playing their way closer, or even possibly into first place by the time the All Star Game rolls along.
Time will tell, but things may be looking up for this team.
