The Mets wrapped up the month of May by winning another series, this time against the Giants, to hold their lead to 4.5 games ahead of the second place Atlanta Braves. With the conclusion of last night's game we flip the calendar to June. June looks to be a true test of this team's ability. These Mets are a strong team and they'll need to show it for the majority of June. The month begins with the D'Backs this weekend, who come into New York playing great baseball as of late. Next week the Phillies return to Shea and the Mets will return the favor at the tail-end of the month. In between the Philly sandwich is a stretch of series' against every playoff team from the AL last season. This chunk of games includes the Tigers, Twins, Athletics, Yankees, and what the hell, throw in the Dodgers from the NL.
The Mets need to bring their A-game this month and make a statement against these teams. As long as the Mets keep winning each series and plugging along, hopefully they will be able to maintain and add to their division lead. It's imperative for the Mets to get their outfield healthy and keep their arms strong. The injury bug has been plaguing New York as of late, but as the summer heats up we'll look for the lineup to return to "normal." One thing is for certain, we'll be treated to some high-caliber baseball this month. Enjoy!
