What’s a weirder sight — Jay Horwitz wearing\u00a0Jeromy Burntiz<\/a>‘ hideous orange sportscoat… or\u00a0Carlos Delgado<\/a>\u00a0wearing a uniform dirtier than Jason Giambi’s lucky thong? We got all that, plus\u00a0Scott Schoeneweis<\/a>\u00a0wearing a satisfied smile, as the Mets’ sudden winning streak reached 3 games Thursday night. They scored all eight runs with two men out, an unfathomable accomplishment at some times this year and perhaps… maybe … a sign that they have turned the corner. Before they go for four straight Friday, please stop by the\u00a0Holiday Inn LaGuardia<\/a>\u00a0and the Pine Lounge — that’s the former Bobby Vee’s — at 37-10 114th Street, right across the Grand Central from Big Shea.
