Tonight the Mets start a three game series against the Florida Marlins.
This is a huge series, as the Mets could leapfrog the Fish into second place in the division with a few wins this weekend. Coupled with a Phillies slide, the Mets could be back in first place by Monday.
This is my optimism getting the best of me, but it's possible. The Mets are playing great baseball at home, as they've won 13 of their last 16 at Shea. A fine sendoff this would be if they could keep up the stellar play in their old park.
Oliver Perez, the team needs the good, no, great you tonight. If you could keep the hands out of the bullpen, that would make every Mets fan in the world breathe much easier.
