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

Stokes clears waivers

Brian Stokes has made it through waivers and is expected to remain with the organization in New Orleans. Stokes will join the Zeph's rotation, he has spent most of his career as a starter but had his best major league success out of the pen. Stokes throws very hard and the change of speed to his change-up is significant, his struggles have been a result of location. I can see him as a Heath Bell type of insurance policy reliever.......
