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

Armas for Monday's start.....

Tony Armas Jr. is absolutely dominating AAA, MiLB just competed an article (great read) on the 29 y/o right handed veteran. Armas is pitching tonight which would give him five days rest before Monday's game which doesn't have a scheduled starter. The only current option would be pitching Vargas on short notice. Armas deserves a start and then could be moved into the pen as a true long-man, they could move Heilman, Muniz or Smith to make room, when Pedro returns Pelfrey should go down......


Armas has emerged as the most consistent starting pitcher on the New Orleans Zephyrs' staff, making six consecutive quality starts and allowing no more than three runs in any of his first 10 starts this season. Going into his start Wednesday against Round Rock, Armas was fourth in the league in ERA (2.34), first in WHIP (0.97), fourth in innings pitched (61.2) and eighth in strikeouts (50). source MiLB

Up Date: In what could be a warm-up to his Mets debut, Tony Armas went seven innings in which he allowed one run on six hits, no walks while striking out seven his ERA is at 2.23.
