Longest Winning Streak Left

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm an idiot but still think these guys have a run in 'em. And I'd really like to regain sole possession of 3rd place.

Just for context, their longest win streak all season was 5 games (May 5-9, vs. AZ & at Philly).

Here's the remaining sked beginning tonite:
COL 3
HOU 3

@ PHI 3
@MIA 3
@ STL 3

ATL 3
WAS 3

@ MIL 3

PHI 3
MIA 3
PIT 4

@ ATL 3
@ MIA 3

I went for the threepeat. They go to Atlanta with wild card on the line for the Braves and sweep 'em. Bastards.

[metirish]

I see 4 games, that's it.

Sweep Houston and win first against Philly.

[TransMonk]

Four seems about right...with losing streaks on either side.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I wound up building this poll as a vehicle for me to argue we have a 6-game win streak in us still but I built it too well and I just can't see it. For example, I didn't know we'd maxed out at 5 this year.

So I'm gonna go vote for 6 anyway even though I'm all but certain I'll be wrong. Maybe 6 out of any 8 is possible. Maybe.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Whoa, who voted 7?

:-D


It'll probably be the "can't trust what happens in September" variety. Duda will blast some home runs, David will be hot again. Murphy will even poke a couple over the wall. The Mets will score 60 runs over those 7 games (and allow 32 (8 by Manny Acosta)) It'll be the last two games against Miami at home, a sweep of the Pirates trying to clinch, and the first game against the Braves on the road.

Even in an optomistic moment like this, they can only take one from the Braves?
Shame on you!
Go for it!

oh, they'll take the series, but they'll lose the middle game on a Tommy Hanson (Cousin of the band) 3-hit gem.

I wish i had the exclusive Haldol distributorship for this website.

I'll go with 6. If the crappy 2001 team could win 6 straight in September, this team surely can as well.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Four - last two vs. PHA, first two vs. MIA in the home set.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The way this team is playing, I would be a little more than mildly surprised if they swept ANYBODY the rest of the year.

[Ceetar]

Even the '62 team had a 9-3 stretch (although it only sorta swept the Cubs in that span. 2 game home stand after a win in Chicago a week earlier. Actually, they were off Monday, won in Chicago tuesday, and then were off Wednesday/thursday? Did they make up those games Cub home games at Shea?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm thinking three. It doesn't have to be a sweep; the three-game streak could span two series.

[Frayed Knot]

You didn't give us a Zero option.

[Zvon]

6. Cause their goal should be simple. Top the 5 game streak.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mets currently have a four-game streak going, which beats my guess of three.

[Edgy MD]

Me too. Only seven folks left in this contest.
