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

New names to the reliever rumors

Baseball Prospectus has a page called The Mill, which is covering all the trade rumors on a daily basis.


Hat tip to Metsblog and MLBTR for the Mill
In today's up-date there are several new names added to the unusual suspects of relievers the Mets are believed to be interested in. Everybody has heard Cordero, Rauch and Wheeler but Thorton, Bradford and Chacon. I'd love to have Bradford back, Chacon is intriguing he really shined in the NY spotlight (with the Yanks) and Thorton I'm not sure what the interest would be, we already have a struggling lefty.



The Mets are after a reliever--that's not exactly breaking news. Whether that's one of the Nats (they'd rather give up Jon Rauch) or one of the Astros (they'd rather deal Dan Wheeler) remains to be seen, but there are still other names that are coming into play. Matt Thornton from the White Sox, Chad Bradford from the Orioles, and Shawn Chacon from the Pirates are all under consideration.
