After the Mets were the sweepee,they became the sweepers...
Woo! 1st they get a stellar performance from previously winless Mike Pelfrey & then yesterday Glavine outdueled former teammate & buddy John Smoltz for a 3-1 victory to cap off a 3-game sweep of the Braves by the Mets.
Great that the Mets bounced back in a dangerous series against the Braves after being swept in a 4-game set by the Fillies. That's the kind of bounceback determination they'll need for the postseason (fingers crossed).
Although it is a little disconcerting that Reyes' average is starting to drop. Since he doesn't walk all that much, that may be a danger sign the Mets need to remedy. Hopefully, Castillo & Wright behind him can keep getting on, b/c as one of the Braves announcers' astutely pointed out yesterday, during the playoffs you're going to run into teams that have good pitching that can silence power bats, so you may need to get things started by having speed & putting teams into situations that get the defense moving, etc.
