2009 Mets Battle cry

“It takes more than five superstars to win a World Series. Tonight was a total team effort. Stokes comes in, in that situation, and gets the best hitter in baseball to hit in to a double play. That’s what it’s going to take, you know. Fernando Martinez gets on a plane, shows up in the seventh, and gets a bunt down… Murphy hits a home run. You know, it’s a total team effort. If you’re gonna talk about team wins, tonight was a great example and that’s what we need to do.” : source Metsblog

"Don't feel sorry for the Metropolitans." - Alex Cora, yelling what seems to have become his motto for this team : source NJ.Com

Burgos on the rise

After today's performance Amby Burgos' stock is once again on the rise, but if he makes the team it will also be because Chan Ho Park has fallen out of favor.



Three strikeouts and two shutout innings by Ambiorix Burgos against the Braves on Wednesday seemed to alter the club's view of the hardest thrower in camp and push the Mets back toward their original thought of adding a strikeout pitcher to their bullpen mix. Two players said they had been told Tuesday that Burgos' chances had improved -- mostly because Chan Ho Park had lost favor.


"Just that they had him [Burgos] throw two [innings] today says they're still interested," the player said. P> Burgos seemingly had pitched himself out of the running by allowing 12 runs and 19 hits in 13 1/2 innings in his first 10 appearances. source MLB.com Marty Noble
