Im almost back…
Hey everyone. I just wanted to give a quick update about why i have not been posting at all as of late. I have been extremely busy in the last 2 weeks with college and its almost over in 2 weeks and then i will get back to writing on a regular basis. In the past week, The mets have won a few and lost a few and most recently lost to the Rockies. That game was suree ugly as Pelfrey got hammered and his fastball is like mine but 40 mph stronger and it just doesnt move off the plate, Its like Pelfreys fast ball had gravitational pull towards the hitters sweet spots during the game. I really hope that he can get it together and give the mets a solid outing so that they wont have to bring up Chan Ho Park, although Park is pitching good in AAA. Now onto another great thing i have noticed in the past week. The Yankees.
What is going on with the Yankees ? Its like all of them are about to mail in the season already 20 games in. The phone number for all of the yankee fans is *************. For all of you having suicide thoughts over the past losing streak of the Yankees. I mean cmon, Even i have a soft spot for their fans, Losing 6 in a row is bad and facing the Sox is worse this weekend when that 5 and a half game lead can get much worse and push the yanks back even more than they are. I wonder when the blank check will be handed to Roger (Mike Piazza owns me) Clemens. I really wanted to see Clemens come back and just get hammered like he did in some of his starts against the mets. Its just like thinking about the way the mets used to start off and then the Yankee fans consistently abuse me about us always being in last place and not winning so right now, I see the mets with the best record in the NL and leading the NL East yet again so i guess they cant say a word now. Arod is on fire with his bat but the rest of the team did not catch on. I was listening to the fan the other day and some yankee fan called in and wanted to mail in the season 19 games into it. I find that hard to believe as the yankees have had some bad starts and always finish good. After all of that Yankee talk, Im moving on to the best player in our mind, David Wright.
David Wright. Ah, the slump ends but the home run drought continues. I feel as if with his strong plate dicipline and strong work ethic, He will bounce back and hit home runs to all parts of the field and its just a matter of time before he goes back to his home run ways but who cares because he is still hitting now and leading the mets (Most of the others are doing work as well) to alot of victories defensively and offensively. I just wish he would hit a home run this weekend so he can shut up all of those yankee fans saying AROD 14- DAVID 0. Well heres another thing for all of you Yankee fans to read. Mets 13. Yankees 8-. Just look at the standings. There is no I in team but there is a ME and that is what David is not about. He is about team work and he is about winning and if there was more players like him, Then baseball would have alot more class acts out there. With all of this football talk about Adam "Pacman" Jones, It gets me laughing about when they can try and point to baseball. The one role model they have is David Wright. He is truly one of the best players in all of the land on and even off the field. For more information about his foundation which all the proceeds go to an amazing cause, Please visit www.davidwrightfoundation.com . He is truly an asset to baseball and will continue that for the rest of his hopefully long career (Knock on wood). Now on to the David watch, Im expecting big things from David this weekend against the Nats.

Chicks dig the singles!
Mets last 3 games linescore. 28-6 outscoring the opposition. Tonight, 17 hits and 6 walks. They have been totally mashing the ball all over the field and it is a joke how bad they are just hitting the ball to all fields and even the pitching has been top flight over the past 3 games ( Remember the pitching staff was supposed to be the big question mark and the reason why the mets would not finish in first place this season), But the mets are now in first place again and have been slamming the opposition and leaving nothing but their Era’s much higher and their confidence gone. The mets are the type of team which can bring the bats on a regular basis and i do believe that even with the addition of one player (Alou) on offense, the Mets are a better hitting team as Alou (Who hits left handed pitching well) offers great stability to this lineup and provides just leadership in which i believe the mets have alot of( But it adds another depth to this team). The mets were just throwing balls right by the Marlin hitters today and most of them were up high rising fastballs and the mets have had 20 strikeouts in the last two games. I cant believe how good their pitching has been minus 2 starts. I know its the Marlins but they are a jumpstart team and played well last season and it just shows what the Mets can do to a team when they are firing on all cylinders, Pitching and hitting wise. They just straight out dominate. Tonights game, the mets behind el duque ( with his 10 k’s) beat the Marlins easily 11-3. David Wright extended his Mets record with hitting in his 26th straight game. VIVA LA PUERTO RICO BELTRAN Smashed baseballs to every part of the field in a 4 hit night. Jose Reyes did his usual dance moves in the dugout and added a Triple. He leagues the league is most categories for leadoff men, Rbi’s,Run’s,Triples,Steals. Beltran almost leads the league in Rbi’s and his memories of colliding with Cameron in Petco park is a far,distant memory. Alou is providing great balance with his hitting. The Bullpen has been great.
As we move to tomorrow night’s showdown with the second place Bravos. I look towards the matchup as Mike Pelfrey goes against TIm Hudson. Hopefully, the mets can bring the lumber as it will be hot outside so they will bring their hot bats and good pitching to Shea for Jackie Robinson night at Shea. I am not sure if i will be there tomorrow but i just think the mets will handle Hudson, Even if he is a outstanding pitcher. Jeez, i wonder what the planeride is going to be like from FLorida down to NY. I hope not like the 86 mets, **** they can do what they want as long as they bring a title back to this side of NY. Every time i stop by the deli, all i see is the backpage headlines reading another A BOMB FROM ARRRROD! What about us, do we get some love? The mets are on fire and have outscored the opposition by a outstanding margin. I just find it funny how the mets with a 89 times better pitching staff than the Yankees can still be relegated to page 82 while the Yankees get pages 83-90. Remember Arod, save some of that hitting for the playoffs. David is saving his homers for the playoffs that is the only reason why he isnt hitting them here.
On a side note, I just want to tell all you Ranger fans to pray not to draw my Ottawa Senators in the second round of the playoffs because Ottawa is going to crush whoever they play in the second round. Both of my Brothers are ranger fans and im a huge Ottawa fan ever since their inception in the early 90′s. But we will see if the Sabres can finish off the Isles and then see if the Lightning can take out the Devils which will bring that Sens-Rangers matchup.
Now onto the David Watch and remember people, Chicks no longer dig the long ball, they dig the single and a 26 game hitting streak.

D-Train…Not in service…
First off, I just want to tell everyone that i havent posted because of the immense amount of work i have had to do in school over the past week. Regardless of the work, I was watching the mets pounce all over Phili and Marlins though and as you read by the title of this post, The D-Train was derailed and the mets were smacking him around like he belonged in single A.
Secondly, I want to before i go any further, express my deepest condolences to all of the families and friends who lost loved ones in the VT Massacre, It is truly ridiculous to see that happen and espicially since i will eventually have children who will go to college and to see that stuff even happen is horrible and i hope you can find any sort of solice through this type of tragedy.
Now onto the boys in blue, and black and orange. The mets really showed the Phillies who was boss with a slapping on Tuesday night and a SWEEP! even though it is a 1 game series, It still showed the Phils who is the best team in the NL East, I dont care what the braves record is now the mets will be ahead of them shortly. So as for the bravos, we are going to get to you and give your manager a tirade ( Just like we did to Charlie Manuel), Which was one of the funniest things i have seen. It was like the time i went to a knick game and challenged Anthony Mason to a fist fight, he laughed at me and said lets go outside, I think he was just kidding lol. But how do you try and fight a talk show host? Its like David Wright attacking a kitten, It just doesnt happen. I really do wish they fought though because it might have lit a fire underneath that team, Man they were weak against the mets the last game. But we are past that game and moved on to Florida where apparently the mets brought the lumber with them. They slapped around the Dtrain and put the train temporarily out of service so those of you who are looking for the D-Train, Its derailed. I did though see the J train that was running everywhere and that train is the JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE TRAIN. He is a absolute whiz when he gets up and specifically just drives the ball all over the field and is so quick and even great in the field. I remember when i used to hate him years back because he was like plastic man but now he is like IRON MAN! So i do like him. \
Wow, all this talking so far and no mention that David Wright broke the record for the mets, a 25 game hitting streak, A streak i would figure with all of the mets hitters since 62 would be alot longer than that. But who cares because he is going for the all time record and i think he might have a chance to get 40. He is an amazing hitter at the plate and i have said this before, His home run swing isnt there but who the **** cares because even though " Chicks dig the long ball", Men " dig the singles" so David us men are still behind you regardless of what that other third basemen in NY is doing. The mets are on fire and it is halfly thanks to David, He has been on target at third with great defense and is leading them on and off the field.
As for tonights game vs the Marlins. Yesterday was just a preview of what the mets will do when the temperatures start hitting up, They do the same, Heat up and almost turn into molten lava that they are so hot. Some of the positive notes from yesterdays game since theyre was only 1 negative.
Positives.
1- David Wright setting club record with 25 straight games in which he recorded a hit.
2- John Maine, He would have been first for almost tossing a no hitter but that umpire screwed him not once but twice ( Cabrera going around, a double play)
3- VIVA LA PUERTO RICO Carlos Beltran
4- JOSEEE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE
5- Mets offense.
Negative.
1- Laz Diaz not calling Cabrera out on the swing.
2- Yet another day when the mets didnt throw a no hitter.
Now onto the David Watch, Congrats to David setting the new mets club record.

Mets lose…But the O’S WON!
(NOTE- PLEASE CLICK PICS TO SEE THEM CLEARER.)
Hello everyone, Im back from my 2 day stay in Baltimore. It was a overall great trip, I got to see amazing sights down in the inner harbor, One of the best places to visit in my mind, Also i went down to the O’s game on Thursday night and watched them battle the Royals! First off let me say that theyre was about 8,000 people in the stands for the game and it felt like i was watching the Brooklyn Cylones play down in Keyspan park. Seeing the O’s play was a good expierience, It reminded me of where the mets were in the early 90′s, Lacking home run power in their order but having some good pieces in which can maybe be put together in a few years ( With a solid power bat needed) to make a run at the Yanks- Sox. When me and my girlfriend first got to the game, It was pouring and we were the only one’s sitting in the stands at the beginning. The game was boring as i expected until about the 7th inning. I forgot to say who pitched during the game, Steve Trachsel and no i did not boo him when he came out. I actually met him twice and he was an extremely nice guy and even though he didnt do the job during the postseason, He did the job throughout his career with the mets. I often compare him to a Bobby J Jones type of pitcher throughout his duration with the mets. He gave his all and even if some " Real Met fans" did not care for him, I did and he was a okay pitcher and remember people, He was not the number 1 starter on this team, He was a 3 or 4 at best so dont keep on killing this guy when you talk about him.
Now onto the game. The game was rolling along minus any rain and it was boring as expected but the O’s who were down throughout the game for a tiny bit came back and tied it off i believe a double by Millar into the gap. I was cheering on the game as i kept on looking at the scoreboard as the mets were battling the Phillies throughout the night. In the 7th inning, A rocket of a line drive came right at me, Well two runs in front of me and i jumped up dove over two rows and just missed making sportscenter for the first time. It would have been the most amazing catch ever and so what i spilt some guys 19 dollar beer, I had a great time and almost made sportscenter. If i had a 17 inch glove, I would have reeled it in and gave my girlfriend a great birthday present. Speaking of her birthday, I gave her a birthday message on the scoreboard. Yes i am a great guy and even though i make fun of a ton of baseball players, I have a heart, a kind one. But as we move on to what happened later in the game let me tell you all to go down and visit Camden Yards, It is one of the best stadiums out there and for as much as i love Shea, It murders it. The museum and ill attach pictures of me next to a few numbers, Mainly # 5( Who was Brooks Robinson but in my mind David Wrights statue for the near future in NY). I also took a picture with a Babe Ruth statue and you will see me giving him a thumbs down. The game slowly moved on and the O’s won off a bases loaded double down the line and the crowd of 8 went berserk! The o’s won 2-1 and my fantasy pitcher (Ray) got the win and it was a overall good night for me and my almost miraculous catch in the stands.
I watched most of the Mets game today and even though i got ripped on for wearing a mets jersey throughout the weekend, They said did i like the Yankees, then i went on and on how i hate them and wish they would lose for once so we can have headlines on the back pages. Funny story, i was talking to one of the ushers and i asked him about when the Yankees come to town, he said the stadium is two thirds full of yankee fans and he says the yankees have an amazing following in Baltimore and even when i sat down i saw some yankee fans. I know the Yankees have a big following everywhere but still, To hold up two thirds of another stadium is very impressive and i just wish us mets fans can go out and do the same regardless of the abuse we take.
So i listened to most of the mets game driving home from Baltimore today and heard them lose to the Nats and David almost powered one out. Everyone keeps saying that David has 0 home runs all year but hey, Whats the record of the Mets and your team? Who cares if he hits 90 home runs or 9, If the mets are winning and he gets on base, Isnt that all that counts? I mean so what if my fantasy baseball team doesnt get 90 home runs from him, The mets lineup is like a fantasy lineup and others can produce as well. I mean the guy has a 23 game hitting streak and is tremendously on fire at the plate regardless of how many homers the guy hits. He hits the ball well to all fields and almost jacked one out today. So to the press, lay off of him. Look at this, He is the first major league player since 1962 to end one season with a hitting streak of 10 games or more and begin the next year with another one, according to Elias Sports. He is producing in other ways and is helping the team win. If you look at all the mets, most of them dont have a homer yet and i dont even know why i am even talking about this. To me, its a non issue but to other publications it is a firestarter. I just think its a joke with a young kid who does so much on and off the field to be focused on his power alone. His power stroke will be there, Mark my words. So onto to the David watch, He went 2-4 today and almost hit his first homer. Hitting Streak now at 23 games, Closing in on the Mets record. Also here are the Wrightoholics, positive and negatives on my trip and mets baseball.
Positives
1- David Wright extended hitting streak to 23 games.
2- Mets winning Thursday and Friday night.
3- Jose Reyes continuing his assault
4- Joe Smith pitching well today
5- Pelfrey pitching okay
6- Billy Wagner getting into great form
7- Orioles game, stadium.
8- My eyes lighting up seeing the 5-3 F Sign go up next to the mets game on the scoreboard.
Negatives.
1- Mets losing the Nationals
2- Me missing a line drive by 2 inches and missing the most incredible catch in the history of foul balls in stadiums.
3- Mets losing to the nationals, Did i say that already? It was so negative, i had to say it twice.
4- Mets outhitting the Nats but only scoring 2 runs after getting 11 hits.
5- Having to sit through watching the Royals pathetic lineup.
6- Having to hear chants of throw the ball to Steve Trachsel, made me remember the good old days of Shea stadium when he pitched.
David watch is updated tonight.

Mets lose…
(My thoughts as well)
Well the mets lost tonight and it was a ugly loss. Theyre was some positives though that we can take in light of the game, David extended his career best hitting streak to twenty games, Which hopefully he can not swing for the fences and start hitting like he did before i started all of the tv commercials, magazines and talk shows and just plain old hit the ball to all fields. Granted he is young and will continue to improve, He will take it day by day and he will get better, Much better and anyone who constantly reads this web site knows that he is amazing on and off the field in what he does for communitys across the Ny-Metro area. Now my second point of the day which is a positive, Jose Reyes. If David ever gets hurt and is out for a prolonged period of time, I will change the name to Reyesoholics since he is just becoming more and more amazing on the field and just take the first inning. He singles, steals 2ncd and then takes third. The mets offense was stuck in reverse today and it didnt help much that the umpires gave the mets the wrong end of the stick tonight numerous times.
I am off to Baltimore tomorrow to watch the Orioles face the Royals! WOW, What a matchup. Even though my uncle is the batting coach for the orioles ( Terry Crowley), I still could care less for their team as they stink and the only guys i root for are Melvin Mora and Tejada and the new kid Markakis who i like. Camden Yards is the most beautiful stadium that i have ever been to and if anyone would like to take a visit to a stadium, go to Camden Yards as it is totally beautiful in every way and even though the fans are not knowledgeable in most aspects of the game, they do provide me with some good chuckles and i hope i can start the Yankees **** chants all night long. Maybe i can ask some people there to reminiscene about the 1969 world series when the mets bashed their heads in although being tremendous underdogs. See, the thing with me is that i dont mind going to other stadiums and seeing bad teams play but when you see a matchup between the Royals and O;s, it doesnt provide me with much drama so please pray for a good game for me tomorrow. I will provide my in depth description of the game and my stay at Baltimore for the next two nights, I might also blog about the mets as well as i know everyone needs to hear my thoughtful insight or lack thereof about the mets and most importantly David Wright.
So as for tonight’;s game, The mets i thought were going to slap around Adam Eaton and move on to being 6-2 instead of their now 5-3 record. They started off good again with Reyes but the energy other than him was not there tonight. I didnt even say one word about Oliver Perez as he pitched a miserable game tonight and shades of last May in Pittsburgh was arising in my mind and i hope he can give the mets a good outing his next time out. Thank god on Friday that the worst team in baseball faces the mets in a 3 game series at Shea and yes i am talking about the Nationals. The mets will win 2 of 3 guareenteed and if they dont, I will drive my car off the Verrazano Bridge and cry all the way down. The mets need that series after not being so sharp the previous 3 of 4 games. So tomorrow is the rubber game of the Mets-Phils series as the mets will look to win the series and keep the phils at a bad record now.
Here are the Wrightoholics negatives in losing tonight.
1- Perez, Straight out terrible performance.
2- Mets hitting stuck in neutral
Wrightoholics positive notes.
1- Jose Reyes, He is the best player in the NL in my mind. His energy is the jumpstart to the mets offense on most nights, Just not tonight.
2- David Wright pushing his career high hitting streak to 20 games.
Now onto the David Watch, Sponsered by Just For Men, Used by Keith Hernandez and Walt Fraizer.

Tomorrow. 9-9 FOR 9 HOME RUNS!
Mets win..Yes they won…
Today was a great day for the Mets and their fan’s. I was one of the fans in attendence and i loved watching the mets rally back with their backs against the wall and hammer out 7 runs in the bottom of the 8th inning which basically secured their run. First before i get into all of the baseball talk, I wanted to say in confidence that David’s at bat song’;s are brutal. The first one, me and you by cassie i think it is is the worst song for him. His other at bat song’s are pretty good, I love the Second Coming by Juelez.Also, Player by big pun is not too too bad but Me and you by cassie is terrible for him. I know the fans voted for it but it must be those 14 yr old obsessed fan’s who are going to dance if they ever reach the stadium. Or maybe it is the 15 yr old people who email me about David and ask if he wears boxers or briefs. But he should have used Big Pimpin or something better. Reyes song’s are amazing as usual as he has added Walk it out which is a great at bat song especially since Reyes has balooned his OBP this short season so far. Delgado stole Reyes Rompe ( He used it last season some) but it fits him. Shawn Green has some great walk up music as well. Just some random observations about today;s walk up song’s.
Opening day is great. The spectacle that everyone has a fresh chance but nothing changed in this or past season with the mets. You can tell by the mets team today that they are like last years squad with their drive and determination to make themselves and the fans believe that this year might be better than last seasons heartbreak we all endured during the postseason. Being down by 2 ( Which in my mind shouldnt have been that bad) Because they could have brought in Feliciano and finished off Howard instead of leaving in Burgos (In my mind , a guy who throws 98 mph fastballs down the middle switches it up and pitches a splitter right down the pipe to a guy who hit 58 home run’s last season is not a smart idea). But i guess since Heilman was overused yesterday, He had to do it. So the mets were down 5-4 going into that eventful bottom of the 8th inning. The mets pounded away at the Phillies and Jimmy ( WE ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE NL EAST) Rollins. Poor Jimminy Cricket. It looks like you should keep your eye on the ball next time you try and make a play in the hole. But Jimmy, i know you guys say you are the best team in the NL east but judging my your start this season, It doesnt seem like that. A 1-6 team who will most certainly lose 1 of the next 2 games and hopefully both to put them in a early hole. Rollins got chanted almost out the stadium today and it was good times all around Shea this afternoon while the Mets slapped the Phils around in the 8th inning on.
Now onto David, David was pretty weak at the plate during his first 3 appearences. The 4th he ripped a shot to right field and everyone in the stadium thought he was have a game tying hit but it wasnt meant to be. In his final at bat, He crushed a line drive down the left field line and almost for a grand slam. (Thanks to Shea’s dimensions, I almost had a 13 point Grand slam in my fantasy league). David picked up the double and gave the mets a bigger cushion and then Alou followed with a single which plated Delgado , Wright.
A few random observations from the loge level in Shea. When David come up a few times later on before his big hit, I heard a few scattered boo;s throughout the crowd, Surpisingly he came through and shut up those bandwagoning mets fans in the crowd. Another thing which bothered me was people who come to the game just to yell at Pat Burrell in Left Field. I mean this one guy who must have had 17 beers kept on cursing at Burrell and some little kids were next to him and i felt bad. I mean enough is enough. Even myself i have a nice side and i wouldnt want to subject my children to anything like that even if after every phillie was announced today, I yelled ***** after their name.
Wrightoholics keys to victory today.
# 1- David Wright doubling down the line and plating two. His frustrations kept building after each at bat and it was nice to see him finally get off the snide.
# 2- Delgado (VIVA LA PUERTO RICO)- Really should be # 1 on the list but since this isnt Delgadoholics, We had to give him number 2. He went 3-3 and had a huge game.
# 3- Jose Reyes. He is a terror on the basepaths and his energy brings the mets to another level.
# 4- John Maine- Tough luck only gave him 4 and 2 3′rds innings but he will be okay throughout the season.
# 5- Beltran playing well again.
# 6-Julio Franco. 4 pitches. 1 walk. 1 Run.
# 7- Mets bullpen (Minus Burgos who made 1 bad mistake to a guy who hit 58 homers)
# 8- Phillies Bullpen, Thank you.
# 9- Jimmeny Cricket- Thanks for that error.
Wrightoholics Blunders of the day.
# 1- Burgos grooving a splitter to a guy who eats them like donuts and then deposits them into the right field fence.
# 2- Willie making a few bad managerial moves throughout the game. i.e, Not taking out Burgos, Pinch hitting easley instead of Milledge. I guess they arent bad moves but in light of today’s games, I needed something to talk about.
David Watch is updated..Since theyre is a day off tomorrow.

Today- 1 for 5, 2 Rbi’s. I predict now, He will be up to 350 by next week. Also, go to www.davidwrightfoundation.com to donate to his glorious charity. Also, DAVIDS HITTING STREAK (Dating back from last season) Is up to 19 GAMES!!
4-0…158 LEFT!
Man i can get used to this winning stuff, The Mets are 4-0. Plain and simple, Nothing else even can bring the words to my mind about the beating that Mets are giving the opposition. Hang on, I do have some words that come to my mind after the mets 4 straight slappings of NL East foes. Beatdown comes to mind first with the mets just putting the pedal to the medal and pushing team’s so far behind that it is really tough to come back from. Secondly, the word Abuse comes to my mind as well. The mets are plain abusing teams, How bad has the scores been, I mean i just watch and see that the mets have outscored teams 29-3 in their first 4 games. Man, so what happened to all of the doubters who said the mets pitching staff is miserable. Granted, It is the 4th game of the season but still, 4 great pitching performances and now 4 great hitting performances can maybe put some of that talk to rest.
Now my first star of the game goes to Oliver Perez who many said was the weak part of the rotation and too eratic. He pitched a great game today and hopefully can continue that during his next turn in the rotation next week. 7 great innings for Oliver tonight.
My Second star goes to Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose, Wow that was alot of Jose’s Reyes. Reyes had two triples, 4 rbi’s and a single. He just plain and simple puts his foot on the gas and doesnt stop until he does some damage. Sort of like Tony Larussa while driving drunk (Almost). Reyes is the heartbeat of the Mets. I cant wait until opening day when i hear the first Jose chant, It will make me almost complete, Maybe a…..
Homerun from David Wright would make me complete. David picked up 2 doubles and helped out my fantasy team a little bit, Thanks. But the mets with a huge victory tonight, just have shown the other teams in the division and league that they are the force to be reckon with.
Wrightoholics point’s/ Keys to victory.
# 1- Jose Reyes. Simply Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose JoseJose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose. Not that again.
# 2- Oliver Perez- Pitching a great 7 inning’s of work tonight.
# 3- Viva Puerto Rico – Carlos Beltran showing why he was one of the best hitters in the NL again and again over the first 4 games.
# 4- Mets beating the braves. Always good times seeing the Braves get smashed after all of those beating’s the mets recieved when i was younger at the hands of the braves.
# 5- All of the mets hitting tonight.
David Watch is updated tonight.
