The Mets offense belongs on the side of a milk carton. Except for the Yankees in the playoffs last year, I've never seen a team with so many actual and potential superstars score so few runs, and strand as many runners on base as Mets. It's almost like no one appreciates the value of three singles in a row.
Perez continues to be pleasant surprise, although he has had at least one meltdown inning in several of his last starts. If he can figure out what changes in his mechanics or mental approach when he suddenly goes from pounding strike zone to hitting batters and yielding BBs, he'll become practically automatic. Sosa also obviously a huge surprise.

June: this is the month to show what the mets are truly made of. Are they a legitimate contender for WS, or are they a bunch of pretenders who rack up good stats by steamrolling weak opponents but fold against good competition? I think the loss of Alou's bat is hurting a lot, someone (hello, Beltran) needs to step up in his absence.
So far June (1-2 against Dbacks) does not look good. The rest of the month only goes downhill from here. Philly, followed by at Detroit, at Dodgers, and at NYY. Then Twins, Oakland, and Cards at home, followed by series at Philly.
What's your vote for June?
(a) Over .650
(b) .600 to .650
(c) .500 to .600
(d) Below .500
I'd guess (c), and hope for pleasantly surprising (b).
