Well, we are on a nice little roll right now.  I will be going to the game tonight and I have to admit it is the first time since Opening Day that I have looked forward to going to a game.  There is life back at Shea.  I read the comments by Billy Wagner this morning and it definitely seems like there is a breath of fresh air in the Mets locker room, thanks to Jerry Manuel. 

I was out with a bunch of Mets fans last night and we were talking about potential directions Omar takes the team before the deadline.  It was almost unanimous that they don't bring in Bonds, however, as big of a critic I have been of his, I wouldn't mind seeing him in the lineup.  Disastrous on defense but would add a nice bat to the middle of the order.  My friend Steve wondered if the big Sexy, Richie Sexson was worth picking up.  Should the Mets go after Adam Dunn.  How much would the X-man cost in prospects?  This much is true, the Mets will not win the Pennant with Fernando Tatis in LF. As much as I am on the Tatis bandwagon and as clutch as he has been, I just don't see him as a season long option as a starter and continuing to be productive.  If we are counting on Tatis to win games for us in September, then something had gone very wrong.

Hope everyone who can make it to Shea tonight can.  I have a feeling it will be a great crowd full of energy to help push the Mets closer to first place.  Now we just pray that Ollie shows up!
