Sweep of Nationals is great, but Mets need to keep pedal to metal

It's either greed or paranoia. In either case, the smile I have on my face following Sunday night's 12-inning win against the Nationals, and series sweep to advance to 7-1, lasted all of three seconds before I started thinking of what's next...

The fact is, while I'm thrilled to see the Mets off to a hot start, they're about to begin a series of games that could end up having an even bigger impact on the outcome of their season.

Starting Monday night, the Mets play the lowly Marlins for three games in Miami, after which they return home for six games (three against the Brewers, another three against the Nationals).
