There's been more to smile about lately for those associated with the Mets. After a dreadful 10-21 start they've moved slightly in the right direction. After Juan Soto went deep against the Rockies on Wednesday night in a 10-5 triumph, New York has now won three straight and four of five. It's possible that they are well on their way back to .500 and contention for a playoff spot. Digging out of such a big hole is a huge job and must be taken one day at a time. That's always the best approach to accomplishing something that seems daunting. It's not a guaranteed recipe for success but with a willing heart and the help of a good teammate, great things can be accomplished.
Carlos Mendoza's team can take some inspiration from the SNY broadcasting team, which created excellent television out of a tough challenge during Wednesday's game. Someone had an idea and one thing led to another and a comically large, $45 hot dog serendipitously materialized in the booth.
