How could you forget Tim Teufel and the "Teufel Shuffle" and, yes, Carter was pimpin' the permullet in '86.

Break up the Amazins - Mets get hot!

NEW YORK - Following a dismal start that left the '86 Mets with the worst record in baseball, the team has started to pull it together, getting back to .500 with a sweep of the '06 Cubs.

New York has won 10 of its last 11 - moving 2 games out of the 1904 Giants, in a 3-way tie for 2nd place with the 2001 Diamondbacks and the '75 Reds.

Keith Hernandez and Lenny Dykstra - with 13 and 11 game hitting streaks respectively - are leading the way offensively. But the story of the Mets' surge has been their pitching staff.

Look at the numbers:

Dwight Gooden - 4-3, 2.96
Bobby Ojeda - 4-4, 3.29
Sid Fernandez - 5-3, 1.30
Ron Darling - 2-3, 2.91
Ed Lynch - 1-1, 2.47

The Mets have allowed just 28 runs in their last 11 games and only 1 run in their sweep of the Cubs. Fernandez leads the league in ERA and Lynch - pitching for injured Rick Aguilera - has been a pleasant surprise.

If the pitching can continue to hold its own and the lineup can produce just a bit more, the Mets could be looking at the rest of the NL Jordan from the very top!

did you have to reset all of the birthdays for the older guys on the rosters?

By the way I am enjoying this, keep it up.

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

No, I didn't reset the birthdays, but it didn't affect anything. The players are the ages they were during their respective season. For example, Hank Aaron is just a young pup on the '57 Braves. It worked out fine!
