May Mini-Series Week

This week showcases the scheduling monstrosities that were unthinkable before the guiding hand of Selig - two 2-game series in a row, and then a weekend of interleague play. Of the five NL East teams only the Mets do not have to travel to get from one two-game series to the other (and even their interleague weekend is just across town). That may give a little relief to a team who's probably wondering how they can pay David Wright's medical bills while trying to survive their heritage of financial insanity, having to cough up $1.2 mil yearly to Bobby Bo for the next quarter-century being one example.

The Mets, though, have won 7 of their last 10, and 14 of their last 22. The weather may not be helpful to the Mets this coming week however. Neither will Josh Johnson, starting tonight as is the Mets' Mike Pelfrey. Hanley will be batting second.
