Sweeps
by Greg Prince on 29 August 2011 11:40 pm
I think that I won’t raise a peep,
And just enjoy my twinbill sweep.
A sweep half-won on R.A.’s wits;
Allowed one run on seven hits.
A sweep, thanks to Gee, in Game Two,
All Mets all clad in BP blue.
A sweep enhanced by healed Jose,
A welcome sight, sans Jason Bay.
Upon Evans, this squad depends;
Nick’s exile finally ends.
Posts are blogged and aim to be deep;
But why dissect a lovely sweep?

The sweep was sweet, my deepest wish,
against the despised stinky fish.
I know you don’t often write previews for games too often, but I think I would have giggled if I saw “Dickey Due” as a header this afternoon.
A short but sweet recap :)
It warms my hesrt to sweep the Stinky Fish. I hate them and we all know we owe them plenty of payback!
Tejada looks great and has really matured! LEts keep it up and maybe we can sweep the series!
LETS GO METS!
And isn’t it a shame that so many Met fans on the Island are without power and could not watch the sweep on TV.
