Gangsta's Paradise

Photobucket

After threatening to "go gangster" and cut Jose Reyes, the Mets have won 3 of 4 under Jerry Manuel, thanks to another solid outing from Mike Pelfrey (walks aside) yesterday. Things look good as the Mets return home for a 3-game set against the major-league worst and the reminder that we're not as much of a disappointment, Seattle Mariners.

The thing that has stood out the most to me so far is the hands-on approach from Manuel. From defining roles in the bullpen to making sure Wright and Reyes get days off to be ready for the stretch run, which all of a sudden doesn't seem so unrealistic, Manuel has done more in 5 days than the Randolph Administration did in its final 12 months.

A sweep of Seattle would be nice, but to get 2 out of 3 for the rest of the month would work just fine.

NBA Draft preview on Tuesday or Wednesday.
