NY Mets - What A Difference Two Weeks Makes

Two weeks ago I posted THIS regarding the New York Mets.

While I'm still loosely standing by that post, I'm happy it looks like my baseball season will last at least through May which it didn't look like was going to happen two weeks ago.

Just looking at the 9-1 home stand they just finished, there are of course things that I liked:
-Ike Davis
-3 starters with a sub-1.00 ERA
-The Bullpen
-Jason Bay raising his average .052 points and driving in some runs

But there are also things that worry me:
-Oliver Perez: 5.19 ERA and 2.07 WHIP
-Only Santana and Pelfrey averaged 6 or more innings in their starts during this stretch.
-The Mets still only scored 4.8 runs per game and hit .262 over that stretch. That's still in the middle of the league average and that was during a winning streak.

I hope I'm wrong and the Mets are in it all year but the last 3 years have only allowed me to be cautiously optimistic so far. That's a far cry from 2 weeks ago
