That was easy

Even the most hardened, cynical, frustrated Mets fan had to feel good about Tuesday night's win over the Giants. A 7-0 shutout, 14 hits, a great performance again by Mike Pelfrey, tacking on runs, chasing the opposition's best starter (recently featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, no less). It doesn't get much more complete than that.

Ron and Keith sounded like two tween girls gushing over Zac Efron in their praise of Pelfrey and his continued resurgence, talking about his increased confidence and how he just looks like a completely different pitcher. And they're right. Pelfrey sometimes seems as if he's been here forever but he's only 24 -- way too soon for the word 'bust' to be thrown around, which was happening earlier this season.

Huge homer by Beltran to give the Mets the early lead, and then it was great to see the runs added on late, on the solo homer by Delgado (who could hit 30 homers this season, all you haters) and then two more in the seventh with another RBI by Beltran. And of course Tatis goes yard.

Would it be greedy to demand a sweep? It's certainly possible given the opponent and the way the Mets are hitting and pitching. A win tonight and they'll break out the brooms Thursday.
