We need a “W” tonight, Pedro

I know it’s still early July, but tonight’s game against the Phillies is a must-win. Taking 3-out-of-4 from the Phillies would be HUUUUUGE, especially if the Mets can do it on the road. With the Brewers’ acquisition of C.C. Sabathia, the Mets can’t count on the Wild Card sitting there waiting for them at the end of the season like an all-too-willing ex-girlfriend. Instead, they better focus on winning the division. And, lucky for them, the NL is garbage and being a game under.500 leaves you in prime position to make a playoff run. While Tampa Bay and Boston are snuffing out the Yankees’ hopes of making their 14th-straight playoff appearance, the Mets have the good fortune of playing in a division full of crappy teams. In fact, the only division with more fertilizer in it is the NL West, where the D-backs and Dodgers are making a mockery of themselves, and their divisional counterparts, with their less-than-mediocre play. Oh yeah, back to my main point: Pedro– instead of trying to throw 92 mph, try and morph into Moose and get the big “W” tonight!
