Get the brooms out!

I can't think of many things that make me happier than the Mets sweeping the Braves. Sure, the Braves got themselves into trouble committing a ton of errors and not coming through with runners in scoring position throughout the series. And yes, last night's game was called due to rain after 5 innings and one pitch. But you know what? I'm a Mets fan and I'll take those breaks any day of the week and twice on Sunday. We're one game over .500 and on a four game winning streak. Given the way April started, that's exciting. Some things to consider:

• The Mets haven't lost a game since Jose Reyes started hitting third. If I learned one thing in college, it's that correlation does not imply causation - but Jason Bay is finally starting to hit so I'd like to think it's a combination of seeing some better pitches because of Reyes and Bay just finding a groove.
• Mike Pelfrey didn't have the best stuff last night... but it was good enough to improve to 4-0 on the year, extend his scoreless innings streak to 24, and lower his ERA to 0.69.
• Memo to David Wright - sometimes you'd rather be lucky than good. DW needs some breaks in the worst possible way.

Finally - and this really has nothing to do with the weekend series - I absolutely love it when Ralph Kiner makes guest appearances in the booth. He has great stories from his playing days, isn't afraid to call out today's players for anything, and is at a point in his life where he can say whatever he wants. It's amazing and highly entertaining. I wish ESPN and FOX would let him visit.
