Breaking News: Michael Strahan will be hanging it up. Solid move to go out on top in my opinion.

The Mets finished up a 2-5 west coast trip that included a 4 game sweep by the San Diego Padres. It is starting to become clear that maybe the Mets are just a .500 team. They have a great week followed right by a bad week. This team better start to show something or its going to be a long season. Their are now 7.5 GB of the Phillies who just came seem to lose winning 14 of their last 18 games. It’s getting late for the Mets its going to be a tough hill to climb, and I’m not sure if they can do it to be honest. I hope they prove me wrong.The Mets head home for a 3 game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks and an interleague matchup with the Texas Rangers. The Mets will try and turn it around at home, where they have been playing well of late, before heading back to the west coast next week. 

MATCHUP
