Mets were simply keeping their head above water in mid-August, failing to seize opportunities against the Expos in head to matchups and paying the consequences.
We were 3 1/2 back on Aug. 13
Then we go on a tear, including seven straight wins to end the month.
At the same point, Montreal goes 6-11 during same stretch and ends August dropping four straight.
Thus, we head into September with the standings looking like this.
We have six more games with the Expos; three in Montreal before ending the season with three at Shea.
Buckle up.
On a different note, George Brett is putting together an MVP season.
And, with that, Seasons Greetings to all!
