Streakin'

The term "roller-coaster season" has taken on new meaning this year thanks to the Mets. The Metropolitans started the season with a 5-game losing streak, followed by a 6-game win streak. Then they lost 2 in a row, won 4 out of 6 (including 3 straight) and dropped 4 consecutive.

On Sunday, NY had a 4-game win streak snapped by Milwaukee. Next up for the Mets is a trip to Chicago. I'm saying the Cubs look like pretty solid bets to win the first two of that series, maybe sweep.

Let's review: That's 5 winning-or-losing streaks of 3 or more games in the season's first 5 weeks. At least Willie Randolph is a Brooklyn kid, so he probably grew up riding the Cyclone.

Wee!
