For the past 25 years I have sat in baseball press boxes and watched young pitcher after young pitcher walk onto a mound and try to strut their stuff. Some have more talent than others. Some have more desire than others. Some have the intellect to make up for sub-standard stuff. But the true litmus test is on the nights they do not have their best stuff and during those games how they alter their game plan to get themselves to the finish line.

In many ways, the Mets could not have asked for a better first week – winning four of six with superb starting pitching right throughout the homestand, punctuated by a walk-off come from behind win on Sunday. Critics of the Mets might point to the fact that the competition was not exactly the '27 Yankees but don't expect the Mets to share that opinion.

"We know what the baseball world thinks of us," says Marlon Byrd, who cracked Sunday's game winning hit. "But that does not matter. What matters is what we feel in this clubhouse and we all know what we are capable of doing." Byrd's story is an interesting one because he decided to go play winter ball to prove to the baseball world he could play after a sub-par year soiled by a 50-game suspension for using performance enhancing drugs.

Mike and I made the long drive to Port St. Lucie and there is one road that is a long two-lane highway. We saw some questionable passing from some drivers! Even passed an orange refinery that looked liked a hideout for a James Bond villain. Mike again with the quote of the day "How is our orange crop doing Number 2."
