Phillies series has its place but Road wins is Key to Mets success in May.

Everyone is all pumped now that the Mets are on the right track and have won 8 on a row. Well now they take on there rival Phillies for a weekend showdown. Ahhh a bit too early to worry about what the Mets do in this series. I mean of course the Mets losing by via a sweep would kind of throw them for a loop. No one wants to see that happened.

Also you want to see the hot hitting of Davis and Bay to continue in homer happy Philly.

If you look at the schedule in May after a month that just ended with 16 games at home, the Mets need to play well on the road and not just in Philly. The Mets play 18 of there next 30 on the road starting today. They play the Phillies and the Reds this road trip and then the Marlins, Nationals and the Braves on the next one and finish the month against the Brewers and San Diego.

To really see what type of team the Mets have they have to play close to .500 ball on the road. The first step starts today.
