hot start?

12 out of first 15 at home. Necessary, IMO, that Mets go at least 9-6 here, because they're not going to get stronger as the season goes on. April: 17 wins May: 15 June:14 July: 16 (Milledge call up) August: 12 Sept: 11 Total: 85, 3rd place, in the running through mid-September. Willie tires his horses out and they collapse down the stretch. Mets try to get through September w/o their elderly starters whose arms blow out and they finish the season playing crucial games with guys in the rotation of whom you've never heard. You read it here first.

I share your September concerns, but I think, even without rose-colored glasses, that they'll win more than 8 games. I guess we'll watch and see.

Not bad. There was a rainout and the Mets still managed to top Bret's projection for the first 15 games by one.

Well it's hot as hell here. Kind of like August in October.
