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

Tavarez wanted in

There was a report that veteran pitcher Julian Tavarez wanted to play with the Mets. The 35 y/o right hander was DFA by the Red Sox and opted for free agency. Tavarez has a lifetime record of 84-71 with an ERA of 4.44. He can pitch in the rotation or out of the pen, if the Mets didn't have Tony Armas Jr. pitching so well in New Orleans I could see him being brought in as insurance but Vargas and Armas have that covered. Early today MLBTR reported that Tavarez was on the verge of signing with the Brewers.


Bartolo Colon is a good friend of Julian Tavarez. He said his old buddy wants to pitch for the Mets. At least that would his first preference, but there's no indication yet whether the Mets or any other team are willing to sign the free agent righty. source Boston Globe
