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

Talk of Turnbow

John Delcos at Lo Hud Journal is reporting that the Mets are discussing acquiring Derrick Turnbow. The 2006 All-Star and former Brewers closer is a mere shell of himself. The brewers placed the struggling reliever on waivers Friday, not only is he having a hard time pitching but is unhappy with his situation in Milwaukee.

I just don't see how he would be a good fit here, the Mets already have one former dominant reliever struggling and they hardly have the time to baby sit another reclamation project. Turnbow is closer to the end of the game with the Brewers with Gagne blowing saves regularly then he would be behind Wagner, Sanchez and Feliciano.
Prior to being placed on waivers Turnbow was 0-1 with a 15.63 ERA.
