| | | NY METS: NEW YORK (AP) - Five straight losing seasons. That's what the New York Mets have produced since moving into Citi Field.
David Wright, for one, is tired of it.
''We need to start going out there showing results,'' the star third baseman said. ''The last couple years we've kind of been hampered by some contracts and payroll issues. It seems like that's behind us. At the same time, we've got those prospects knocking at the door. I think we're in a better place now than we have been the past few years and quite frankly, I think we have a better team.''
Translation: No more waiting for next year. No more selling the future. No more excuses.
It's time to take a step forward - and that means winning.
General manager Sandy Alderson seems to think so, too. After he signed free agents Curtis Granderson, Bartolo Colon and Chris Young this offseason, a report emerged that Alderson told staffers he thinks the Mets can win 90 games (with a payroll under $90 million).
Even hard-core fans found that overly optimistic, especially with ace Matt Harvey expected to miss the entire season following Tommy John surgery. New York posted its second consecutive 74-88 record last year - and that was with Harvey on the mound most of the way.
But there is reason for hope, particularly in Triple-A. Touted young pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero could soon join a promising rotation that includes Colon, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee and Jonathon Niese.
''He's got all the traits of the good ones,'' manager Terry Collins said about Syndergaard. ''He's on track to be special.''
The offense could be better with the addition of Granderson, who got a $60 million, four-year deal after an injury-plagued season for the Yankees across town. His left-handed power bat should provide some much-needed protection for Wright.
The multitalented Young, on a one-year contract following a down season in Oakland, appears highly motivated to regain his All-Star form.
''It's been interesting to watch the whole team,'' Granderson said early in spring training. ''There's power here. Chris Young has been amazing.''
The lineup remains flawed and prone to strikeouts, though the roster has improved. Perhaps not enough to push Washington and Atlanta in the NL East just yet, but the Mets expect to take significant strides this season as they anticipate Harvey's return in 2015.
''When I re-signed here, I knew it wasn't an overnight fix. I think I like that part of the challenge of it,'' Wright said. ''I want to be part of the reason why we get this thing turned around and headed in the right direction and ultimately start winning again. I think we have that ability.''
| | MIAMI: MIAMI (AP) - The owner of the World Series champion Boston Red Sox is apparently unimpressed by the Miami Marlins' attempts to improve their feeble offense.
''They should apologize for their regular season lineup,'' John Henry tweeted during spring training.
In 2013 the Marlins were truly sorry. They finished last in the majors in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, runs and home runs, and scored even less than their woeful 1993 expansion team. They also lost 100 games, two more than in their first season.
Henry was being catty after the Red Sox drew criticism for the minor league lineup they fielded for a spring game against Miami. But he might be right - it's unclear whether an offseason shakeup of the lineup will mean more runs for the Marlins than last year.
''We were anemic offensively,'' new general manager Dan Jennings said. ''Just bad. It's unacceptable.''

*Mets-Marlins Preview* ======================
By PAUL DIGIACOMO STATS Senior Editor
New York (64-73) at Miami (66-69), 7:10 p.m. EDT
It's going to be difficult for the Miami Marlins to secure a wild-card spot, but there's a good chance they can make up some ground in the race if their other 26 games in September are like their first one.
After taking advantage of some sloppy play by the New York Mets, the Marlins look to continue playing well at home Tuesday night in the middle contest of a three-game series between these NL East rivals.
Miami (67-69) won 9-6 on Monday, aided by six errors by the Mets, and moved within 5 1/2 games of Milwaukee for the second wild-card spot with the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Cubs.
"Lot of good at-bats up and down the order," third baseman Casey McGehee, who drove in two runs, told MLB's official website. "That's what we're going to have to continue to do to have any kind of chance."
Mets starter Jonathon Niese (7-10, 3.48 ERA) has limited Miami's chances in his three career starts at Marlins Park. The left-hander didn't allow a run in his first 18 1-3 innings there before giving up three in the sixth in an 11-5 victory June 22.
Giancarlo Stanton had an RBI single in that inning, making him 9 for 24 (.375) with two home runs against Niese. Stanton hit his NL-leading 34th homer Monday and is one RBI away from having 100 in a season for the first time.
He's batting .370 in eight home games against the Mets (64-74) this season.
Niese enters this meeting with two wins in his last nine starts due in part to a lack of run support and some shoddy defense behind him. He has been backed by 17 runs over that span, and New York has committed six errors in his last three outings.
The Mets have made an MLB-worst 19 errors since Aug. 20. Monday was their first six-error game since April 27, 2012, at Colorado and the 10th with at least that many in franchise history.
"I think, all in all, we've played pretty good defense throughout the year," third baseman David Wright, who committed his 14th error, told MLB's official website.
"One game isn't going to tarnish that. At the same time, we can't expect to go out there and win and be successful when we play as sloppily as we did today."
Second baseman Dilson Herrera made two of the six errors, but he also hit his first career home run and triple. At 20 years old, Herrera is the youngest player in the majors.
"I have no excuses," Herrera said. "Errors are going to happen. You're going to make mistakes on errors here and there. I'm not perfect, but I'm also going to continue to work on it and get better - because that's a big part of my game."
Brad Penny (1-0, 5.40) will make his third start for Miami and first since Aug. 14, and he'll be facing the team that has handed him the most losses in his career.
The right-hander is 5-13 with a 6.25 ERA in 23 appearances against the Mets. His second-most losses have come to San Diego, which has defeated him eight times.
Wright is 12 for 20 with four homers when facing Penny, and he's batting .407 with 13 RBIs in 14 games against Miami this season.
