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

Phillies Sign Jenkins

ESPN is reporting that the Phillies have signed Geoff Jenkins to a two year deal. So the Phillies have replaced outfielders Rowand and Bourn with Snelling and Jenkins, along with starter Chad Durbin for Freddy Garcia. So far the only up-grade is Brad Lidge over Gordon as the closer, if Myers was heading to the rotation. Jenkins will probably have great power numbers in Philly but his average has dropped yearly and he's the equivalent of Shawn Green in the field.....
