Mets Breakfast: Its Dickey Edition

1) The Mets won their third game in a row last night, and 4 of their last 5, as the R.A. “Trickey” Dickey stunned the Phils. Normally I do not like watching knuckleballers, because the game is slowed down, but he was fantastic to watch last night. He also seemed to handle stress well shown when he got out of jams and situations that shouldn't have even happened (thanks to the umpires).

2) Jose Jose Jose Jose. Jose. Jose. It was great last night to see Reyes come alive again with three hits including a triple and two stolen bases. Thanks to that triple, I have a feeling teams might start to play him farther back now, which will give Reyes a better chance to hit singles, and cause more problems on the base paths.

3) Francoeur came alive with two RBI's last night. Bay wasn't stellar (1-5), but he also drove in a run as the Mets offense is putting it together now.

4) With last night's win, the Mets are at .500 and tied with the Nationals for forth in the division. Four teams in the division are now separated by one game and the Phillies lead from top to bottom now by only 4 games. Things are getting close again.
