I think we need to get on a roll, starting tonight. We need at least 8 out our next 10, and I don't care much which order they come in, with one qualifier: We have to sweep the Mets. We're missing their best 2 starters, and catching them after a series in which their pen was abused. We have Hill, Maddux and Z going. I feel good about Hill in Shea Stadium; it's a pitcher's park, and his biggest weakness is the home run. Maddux is due for a good outing against a team he's owned historically, and I'll take Z over almost anyone in baseball right now. Our pen gets a boost if for no other reason than Remmy is gone, and the lift the 3 returning guys could give should be huge. I think this series is make or break for us, as we need to start getting ourselves in a position to go 1 v 1 against Houston down the stretch, so we need to knock the Mets back a bit.
