After Yankees sweep, Mets head to Atlanta

Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals

The New York Mets, fresh  off  a  two  game  sweep  of  the  New  York  Yankees,  head  to  Atlanta to take on the Braves in a four game set.

After the frustrating series loss against the Washington Nationals, last Friday the Mets had a series of meetings; first Willie Randolph with the team, then a team only meeting. Based on this weekends results at Yankee Stadium, maybe it had some effect, or maybe the Yankees really just suck. Hopefully, it was the former and we can expect a bit more focus and intensity out of the manager and the players. Time will tell.

Anyhow, the upcoming series against the Atlanta Braves will provide a solid measuring stick. I won't get greedy and ask for a sweep, but just for the hell of it, how about three out of four??
