The Mets had a great record in May (18-9 before tonight's rubber game against the Giants). Carlos Delgado and David Wright each broke out of their slumps as well. I have to admit though that even with a great month behind them, I am a little nervous about June.

The Mets are slated to play the Yankees, Tigers, Twins, Dodgers, Phillies and D-backs.  I am excluding the lowly Cardinals since they don't justify my point that this is as difficult a schedule as it gets.  True the Yankees are squandering, but they're still the Yankees and they can never be underestimated.

Thankfully, Shawn Green and Jose Valentin should be back soon, and Moises Alou will be coming back hopefully as well which are all good things.  Before this season I never would have believed that I would be missing Green's bat but he has proved me wrong.

I know I really have no rational reason to be worried since the Metropolitans are sporting the second best record in baseball, but they have trained me well and until they can recondition me, the Mets definitely still worry me from time to time. Hopefully they can just take June day by day and on July 1st I will be wiping my brow and saluting the Mets for how they whooped some of the best teams in the majors. Realistically, I will be content with winning each of the series they play...is that so far-fetched?
