Mets...

The Mets might just be turning a corner, as May begins. My greatest fear is the same fear that I've had for the Giants (through this past Super Bowl): they would be simply good enough to keep the manager/head coach in place, but not good enough to win anything. Clearly, the Gints proved me wrong, and perhaps the Mets will too.

Interesting decisions will need to be made on the Mets roster in the next several days/weeks. They include:

1. Send down the effective Joe Smith or place the inimitable Jorge Sosa on waivers to active Matt Wise (!!!) from the disable list. Matt who?!
2. Keep Carlos #2 (Delgado) in the lineup, or make a move to acquire a first base immortal such as Scott Hatteberg.
3. Decide on whom to demote from the starting rotation if/when Petey or The Duke come back.

Meanwhile, can the Marlins possibly continue playing .640 baseball? With a payroll of $22 million and a poor run differential, our sabermetric spidey sense tells us it can't continue. Or then again, could it? What type of moves could the Marlins make to shore up their overachieving roster?

Just plain can't wait for the post-Memorial Day blitz.

Oh and by the way, details/itinerary for the roadtrip coming soon.
