| | | SAN FRANCISCO: SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - From every slot in a talented, experienced rotation to the back end of the bullpen and in between, to the starting fielders and the role players on the bench, it's hard to find a member of the San Francisco Giants pleased with his 2013 season.
A year after winning the World Series, the Giants finished 10 games under .500, third in the NL West and they missed the playoffs.
''We don't even have to have the conversation, a lot of the guys know it,'' right-hander Matt Cain said. ''We didn't pitch the way that we wanted to.''
As the Giants begin a new year, they will try to keep up with the big-spending Los Angeles Dodgers and regain the grip they had on the NL West when the club won World Series championships in 2010 and `12 - even if everybody expects the Dodgers to be the team to beat.
''You do try to reflect back and try to learn from what happened last year and how you can get better,'' manager Bruce Bochy said. ''You move forward, that's what we had to do. There are some things we'll talk about in the spring, mistakes that we made last year. Also, hopefully guys come in with an attitude, that they weren't happy with what happened the year before and want to get back on track.''
Buster Posey certainly doesn't want to spend too much time thinking about last season.
''That's probably how everybody feels. There's a bad taste in a lot of guys' mouths,'' Posey said. ''We want to come out and focus on winning ballgames.''
| | 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.''

*Giants-Mets Preview* =====================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
San Francisco (58-50) at New York (52-56), 7:10 p.m. EDT
The San Francisco Giants broke out of their offensive slump - at least temporarily - to end a season high-tying losing streak.
They hope to back the run support-starved Ryan Vogelsong with better production Friday night when they visit the surging New York Mets.
San Francisco (58-50) continues to chase Los Angeles for the NL West lead but snapped a six-game skid Wednesday with a 7-5 win over Pittsburgh. The Giants had totaled six runs while batting .176 during the losing streak, then scratched out 12 singles against the Pirates. Gregor Blanco was 3 for 3 and drove in two runs.
"It's cliche, but we've been up and we've been down," second baseman Joe Panik told baseball's official website. "Hopefully now we've gotten things going and will take this into the road trip."
San Francisco could get a boost from the potential return of Brandon Belt, who hasn't played since July 19 due to a concussion. Belt has 10 homers and 23 RBIs in 46 games.
The Mets (52-56) are six games behind San Francisco in the wild-card standings but have been the NL's best team since July 4, going 15-8 and winning nine of their last 11 at home.
Lucas Duda is batting .311 with seven home runs and 19 RBIs since July 4 and has homered five times in his last eight games.
"He's become one of the more dangerous hitters in the National League," Mets third baseman David Wright said.
However, Duda has hit just .167 with no homers in 15 career matchups with San Francisco and is 0 for 5 against Vogelsong (5-8, 3.94 ERA), who is winless in six straight starts. The Giants have backed him with three runs of support - all in one outing - over 33 2-3 innings in that span, and his 3.34 run-support average is one of the lowest in the majors.
The right-hander gave up four runs - two earned - over six innings in a 5-0 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.
"Vogey's had some tough luck. Not just this start, but in a lot of starts, things have just gone awry for him," manager Bruce Bochy told MLB's official website.
Vogelsong, who owns a 5.44 ERA on the road, hasn't gone seven starts without a victory since a 12-start winless stretch - the longest of his career - from April 14-June 18, 2004, with Pittsburgh. He's gone without a decision in his last three outings against the Mets while surrendering 10 runs in 18 innings.
New York's Jonathon Niese (5-6, 3.23) will make his third start since a stint on the disabled list due to a sore shoulder. On Saturday he held Milwaukee scoreless for four innings before surrendering three runs in the fifth. He later disagreed with manager Terry Collins' decision to pinch-hit for him in the sixth.
"I've known Niese long enough, he never wants to come out," Collins told MLB's official website. "I love that about him."
Niese boasts a strong history versus San Francisco, posting a 2.38 ERA in five starts despite a 1-2 record. Buster Posey is 6 for 15 against him.
Daniel Murphy is 12 for 25 over his last six games and 4 for 8 against Vogelsong.
San Francisco swept a three-game series between the teams at home in June.
