What Collapse?

(by Brett Kahn)

If you are a Mets fan right now, last year's collapse is starting to look like more of a fluke every day. We all know these games don't count as much as games in September, but it's nice to know that the Mets are trying to make a statement early.

It's a proven fact that when Jose Reyes hits, the Mets hit and last night, he did. Reyes went 2-for-4 with a HR, his second of the season. David Wright continued his hot streak also going 2-for-4 with 2 RBI's. He is now batting .344 on the season with a Major League-leading 19 RBI's.

Starter Oliver Perez did his part keeping the Phils scoreless through 5 2/3 innings while striking out seven. He is now 2-0 with a 2.49 ERA this season.

Tonight, the Mets go for the sweep with Mike Pelfrey on the hill opposing Adam Eaton. Even though Eaton usually dominates the Mets, Pelfrey has been spectacular this season with a 2-0 record and a 1.50 ERA.
