When the season began the New York Mets looked to be a team in a world of trouble. There were more storylines developing than in a Mexican soap opera. The team looked to be nothing but a bunch of headlines for people to laugh at, then the halfway point of the season arrives and things look different.
While there is still a lot of in fighting going on and some players are not in good standing with the management of the team, the truth is that they are a half game out of being tied for first. This comes as a shock to the team and to the fans. There are a lot of people that are trying to figure out what is going on.
The new pitching coach has given the team an increased sense of purpose in the fact that they are now able to get better accuracy with their pitching as well as not over doing it in their workouts. This has helped the bullpen overcome a lot of the issues that they had been experiencing when they were on the field.
The Bullpen that many people were laughing at during spring training is now one of the more respected ones in all of baseball. This is due to a displace that has been placed in the bullpen. Players are to be on time and failure to do so will result in punishment. This has led to a sense of dedication in the pitching rotation.
The work that has been put into getting a batting order that is second to none, has also went a long way in helping to make sure that the team is able to face whatever comes their way. Many teams took this team too lightly and as a result found them to be in a position that the Mets were able to place a win on their season. All of this has put them a half game from tying for first in the division.
The others say that this is the beginning of something a lot bigger in the way that the team is poised to win more games and as a result increase their standing in professional baseball. Regardless of what your opinion of the team is, there is little arguing the fact that at least the first part of the season has been one that will be rembered as the best in years.
Regardless of what you may have thought when the season began, the team has worked hard in the past few months in order to gain the affections and following of the Mets fans. There are more jumping on to say that they are proud to be a Mets fan every day. This has led to there being an increased following for the team.
The end of the first half of the season is quickly approaching; there will be a lot of interest as to what will the second half of the season hold in store for the Mets and their playoff hopes. The one thing that is certain is that now is as good a time as any to be a Mets fan, and there is a sense of urgency in the team's efforts. This can be a team that later in the season leaves a lot of the fans and other teams guessing as to what will happen next.
