A good stretch for a change for the Mets

I'd been taking a break from Mets, staying away during the Yankees series, because they'd been making me nuts.

The collapse of the rotation was hard to watch, and the lack of consistent hitting was just painful.

Then again, a couple of wins — four straight to be exact — are tonic, especially against the club's two big rivals.

Reyes and Bay are starting to hit and Santana and Pelfrey have gotten some help from a couple of unexpected sources.

And once again us Met fans are riding the upward stretch of the rollercoaster.

I'll take it while it's there.
