Mets beat Dodgers, 8-4!

The New York Mets beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4 tonight at Shea Stadium. The win was the Mets third straight and clearly establishes the Mets as baseballs premier team...(ok, just kidding).

Seriously though, it is nice to finally string together a few W's and start to feel something positive around this Mets team. The tone lately has been pretty negative, and deservedly so as I think even most Mets players would admit.

Since David Wright cracked a pair of home runs tonight, I figured I would once again break out this picture. (As I have been told, it is appreciated by men and women alike). If David gets back in stride, it is a huge boost to the Mets offense as I feel he has the ability to carry this team.

Another positive sign for the Mets was the continued effectiveness of the bullpen. After last night's stellar performance by the  pen,  tonight the much maligned  Scott  Schoenweiss  came  on to pitch  a  perfect  one  and  two  thirds innings.

Lets not forget either that Mets starter Claudio Vargas got it done. He pitched to the minimum twelve hitters through four innings before needing a bit of help from the pen,but he kept the Mets in the game.

Lets hope the Mets continue this recent trend!
