Productive Off Day

Without playing, the Mets managed to rise half a game in the standings, and now sit 2.5 games out of first place. Terrific.

The Diamondbacks are coming into town now, and the Mets are sending two of their best pitchers against them (with Victor Zambrano thrown in between, just to even things out).

I have a good feeling about this team right now, though I don't know why. I feel like they're primed to go on a six or seven game win streak. That Zambrano is going to start pitching. That Matsui is going to start hitting. It's that age-old optimism, folks.

Unless, of course, they get creamed tomorrow. In which, disregard all of this.
