Mets are all banged up and not playing great, but they're in first. Is the glass half empty or half full? Is being in first place a fluke? Or will they be the best Mets team ever when our starters get back from the IL? When does a major league manager hit their stride? Is Luis Rojas being kept on a short leash or is he making in game decisions that just plain old don't make sense?
