It has been a rough season thus far for
everyone that has any stake in the Mets. Players are struggling to perform with
regulars such as Ike Davis being sent down to the minors. Terry Collins seems
to be on a countdown for his days as manger of the team with it a matter of
when not if he will be fired. The fans seem to have finally had their spirit
broken as Citi Field is as empty as ever since it opened in 2009. The heartbreak
continued even last night as Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off homerun off Dillon
Gee to give the Braves a 2-1 lead. There is reason to still tune in to the Mets
as the season continues though.
There is some optimism with some of the
younger players that the Mets have and there is no one they are higher on than
Zack Wheeler. Combined with current ace Matt Harvey the two are supposed to
give the Mets the type of one-two punch that not many teams can rival in Major
League Baseball. The Wheeler and Harvey era will get underway today in Atlanta
as the hot shot youngsters will both toe the rubber against the Braves in the
day/night doubleheader.
