After losing opening day and having everyone this side of the East River in an uproar over this team's future, the Mets came out and took the final two games from the Philths (suck) to bring the team back to .500 on the season, and hopefully, well never go under that again. So now the Mets sit 1 and 1/2 games behind the Marlins (no joke). And This is why April is the best time of the year (excluding October and maybe September of course). Teams are full hope. I mean, the Orioles lead the AL East, the Royals lead the AL central, and the baseball gods continue to enjoy themselves as the new season begins to unfold. Now you know these teams cant last, they dont have lineups, they dont have bullpens, they dont have rotations(minus the Royals, whose big 3 most teams would trade for), but for now they have a swagger and thats all you need to win a few games.
Swagger is an interesting word. The Mets had it all of 2006, and even for most of 2007. But many began to question, whether the Mets had lost that with the epic collapse of last season. I'm saying right here, right now, a series win over the Philths(suck) will get that swagger back. The Mets won in walk off fashion on Thurs night, as out hottest hitter, Angel(straight from heaven) Pagan saved Heilman's ass coming through with a monstrous game ending single. Is it just me (and Rob) but has Angel Pagan, been the reason we have won 4 games this season. It just seems like to me whenever there are men on, he's coming through. He began the season with RBI's in the first four games of the season only the 5th Met ever to do that. He's so hot Mets fans are starting to question what Willie will do (most likely the wrong decision) when Mosies come back. Now I'm not going that far, but he's 24 and he looks great right now, and the Mets are winning games, So I'm happy.
The State of the Bullpen is one which we can surely start blaming Willie for.
Will Met fans please stop booing Schoenweiss. Willie is the one who sets him up for failure. He shouldnt be facing right handed batters in tight games, It's Willies fault if he is. Now it two consecutive tight spots, he induced inning ending double plays, Good job scott, you Duke shitbag. Heilman, looks dreadful right now. He's not hitting his spots. Leaving meaty pitches over the heart of the plate, simple not performing like a lock down eighth inning pitcher. Duaner, please come back already. Wagner and Smith have been solid so far this season. And good job to Muniz for pitching two scoreless innings this far.
We need to start hitting. But for now 4-4, aint that bad. Time to battle the Brew Crew.
Things Willie needs to learn:
1- The Wheel Play
2- Left handed and Right handed specialists
3- Squeeze Bunts
