Over the next seven days, the Mets will play their first games against the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves in 2009. They have started the season 9-12 and fans are already starting to question the team. The next seven games could be very important, not just for the season, but for the coaches on staff.
Yesterday, I asked my Twitter followers how they think the Mets will fare over the next seven games. (Hat tip to @tweetthemets for the suggestion.) Here are their responses:
The optimists…
tweetthemets said: I think with Ollie going against the Phils twice their chances improve! 4-3
andy79 said: put me down for 5-2. Ever the optimist.
bortnick said: 4-3. it's easy to play a few lousy games and get all jittery, but it's too early to bug out, everyone's gotta relax
MetsNY81 said: 4-3
JTKrycek said: Mets 4-3. Blanton, Park = 2 Mets wins. Kawikami = 50/50. Santana = win. But 7 game win streak would rock like mad.
MissBethAnn said: I'm gunna be optomistic and say 4-3. I'm not ready to jump off the bridge yet!
mets_geekette said: Poll: 5-2. They've gotta turn it around at some point. Why not this wkend? Here's to hoping.
jessicarubin said: 4-3. Don't trust Ollie to come through on both games.
The pessimists…
jessicarubin said: btw I was being hopeful on the side of cautious when I said 4-3. Realistically I think 3-4 but I wanted to be optimistic =(
mostlymets said: 2-5. It's going to be a rough week.
thebrowncoat said: 3-4. I don't see any indication they're ready to start playing consistently good baseball yet.
jintman said: 3-4 I hope!
Retire31 said: 3-4. Sadly.
metschick said: I think they'll go 3-4.
cutiepie0319k said: 2-5.. they will be lucky if they go 3-4.. i hope they prove me wrong.
gwong said: 5-2 if the games end after six innings (ha!). Really, 3-4 is my guess and that's only if they win Johan's start.
TLA_Quinn said: 3-4 sounds about right to me...although I'd love a 4-3!
metgirl4ever said: i think we'll go 3-4 also, but i need them to go @ least 5-2 for the Mets
letsgoduke said: 3-4. Were just not putting a cohesive unit on the field right now.
Vodka_RB said: 3-4 at best
cwb75 said: would like to say 7-0 or even, but I am being the pessimist and say 3-4
darknova306 said: 1 win against Philly, 0 wins against Atlanta. 1-6 record, Jerry/HoJo fired. "Core" posters on MetsBlog laugh with glee.
trekmetfan said: I say 3 out of 7 for the Mets.
gmo418 said: 2-5 outlook is bleak, hope i am wrong
From a Phillies phan…
kierankelly said: 2-5. Losing 2 to the Fightins' and 3 to the Braves.
I can’t see them going .500 over these two teams, especially not the way they’ve been playing so far this season. Notice that the pessimists list is much longer.
Tweet of the Day: gwong said: 5-2 if the games end after six innings (ha!). Really, 3-4 is my guess and that's only if they win Johan's start.
