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

Pagan may need surgery

Well if the Mets thought it was a matter of holding on until the injured got healthy, they need to re-think their trade dead-line priorities. Alou can't be counted on, Chavez shouldn't be a starter, Nixon should also be a bench player and now we find out that Angel Pagan may need surgery. There is no question that the Mets need to acquire an outfielder before the trade deadline. While many saw Pagan as another fourth outfielder, if you have three fourth outfielders ( Nixon, Chavez, Pagan) and a healthy Church I could live with that but right now your once again hoping Alou has something left in the tank. I feel bad for Pagan he had such a great spring training and then the play he was injured on was tremendous, but it may have cost him the season.
