Time to kick some butt

[Frayed Knot]

One of the causes of our mediocrity (or worse) this season has been our less-than-stellar record against the bottom-feeders of the league.
Even yesterday's double-win only brings their cumulative record versus the clubs below us in the NL standings* to 28-31.

But now sixteen of the next eighteen come against the Marlins (6 more), Nationals (7) and Cubs (3) interrupted only by the two-game make-up with the Braves.



* Cubs 1-2
Astros 3-3
Padres 4-3
Marlins 5-7
Rox 2-5
Nats 6-5
Pirates 4-4
Dodgers 5-2

We need to lock in third place.

Remember when they played Colorado earlier in the year and couldn't get Tulowitski out? They seemed like a really good team back then.

This recent winning streak, and the upcoming schedule, may mean that a .500 season is once again within reach. Back when the Mets were in Philadelphia, they needed to go 21-14 to get to .500. (That's a .600 pace.) But now they only need to go 17-13, which is just a .567.
