As I wrote earlier Monday, it's getting close to decision time for Sandy Alderson.
For me, when I watch this team, I struggle to figure out what and who I'm watching. I imagine Alderson and his staff are trying to determine the same.
For instance, are the Mets the 11-1 team we adored during April or are they the 8-17 kiddie roller coaster we've been riding the last four weeks. Or, are they some place in between.
Former Mets manager Bobby Valentine used to always say that a team is never as good as they are during a winning streak and never as bad as they are during a losing streak.
