Mets Nipping at Washington's Heels

The Metsies sweep Colorado and are just one game back of the second-place Nationals. After three fantastic starts from Mejia, Harvey and Gee, we at the Mess have found that a new handshake is the reason why this rotation is coming together:

Ten Reasons To Be Excited for the Second-Half

1. Every time Matt Harvey takes the mound. Assuming he stops posing nude between starts.
2. Reuben Tejada is not on the 25-man roster and is still rehabbing. Or he’s in the minors. Or he’s been abducted by the Wilson Ramos Kidnappers. Wherever he is, his anemic bat and awful defense should stay put.
3. The renaming of the “Mendoza Line”. With Ike and his struggles apparently here to stay in Flushing, dare we suggest the “Davis Demarcation”?
4. The maturation of Juan Lagares. Thankfully he appears to be more Carlos Gomez than Fernando Martinez.
5. There’s a good chance that a line drive will hit Daniel Murphy knocking his clothes off and causing him to spin around in the air, officially completing the Charlie Brown/lovable-loser comparison.
6. Jenrry Meija.
7. CitiField advertising. With just one more advertisement on the outside of the stadium, it will be the most exploited 1.2 million square feet in the history of real estate.

   

   Capitalism like it oughta be!

   
   
8. The potential September call-ups of Travis d’Arnaud, Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero.
9. It’s only a matter of time before Jay Horowitz accidentally tweets a pic of his 67-year-old shwance.
10. Four words: Jason Tyner Bobblehead Night
