The past week has been the best that I’ve felt about the Mets since September 2008. They went into Philly on a great run, even without their best player Carlos Beltran . The month of April was really on the backs of Mike Pelfrey and Johan Santana , for the most part. But the offense did start to come alive towards the end of the month. Here are some month-end links for you for this Sunday.
