I was pleasantly surprised when the Mets had such a great June. I'm open to thinking it was misleading. Things tend to even out. The current Yankee problems, for instance, balances things out after they had a ridiculously good start.

The wild card race is starting to look more stable. The Padres and the Cards are a few games over .500. It is not just a bunch of mediocrity and the Braves. The lead is small enough that it might change, but for now, it looks like the also ran wild card teams are slipping away.

So, let's see how they do in July, like the last mediocre July clinched the decision to be sellers. Either way, long term success should be key.

The possibility of reaching the playoffs or winning one wild card series in not worth losing key players. I think a good path to take in the end very well be to trade Severino.

Anyway, questionable use of the pen in the last few games. The manager stretched two starters too long & then it was up to the B team (especially Diekman) to keep it close. And, Houser wound up pitching one inning when in more than one game two innings would have been helpful.

Happy to see so many of you realizing what I've been saying here for weeks; this is not a playoff team! Now, let Stearns continue the job of rebuilding the organization from the bottom up to achieve sustained success!
