I was doing some work on my new apartment and listening to the game on the radio and its awesome that you can tell when a Met homers because you can't take the smile off of Howie Rose's voice. Anyone understand what I mean by that? You also can't get me not clap.
I was pretty sick of the announce team harping on Reyes not driving any runs in this season. That is not really his job, his job is mainly to get on base and score runs. RBIs are a bonus for him. but I was glad he ran his hitting streak to 7-games. And like in every other Mets win, Jose Reyes got a hit and scored at least one run. But this team would be better with a bunch of guys like Brad Emaus. Yes Mr. Alderson, Bard's .304 OBP is so vastly superior to Jose Reyes' .303. But your computer doesn't calculate heart and excitement. It doesn't apparently compute Reyes 100 point bating average advantage. Money Ball my butt. PAY HIM!
Speaking of talented players that will not be on team next year, shouldn't the Mets just trade Carlos Beltan now? Is he going to have a better game than two homers, three RBI and raising his batting average fifty points? They are panicking in Boston right now ... someone get Theo on the line.
The Mets could really use a victory in Sunday's game. Get themselves over .500 again. But if you go by the formula, win every seres at home and go .500 on the road you have a team wins 94 games. Its not impossible. Last year's team was thirteen games over .500 at home but sixteen under on the road. had they managed to play .500 on the road, they were a playoff team. That is moneyball right there.
