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

Catching looking thin....Gado grab a mask

Both Brian Schneider and Ramon Castro are hurting, which lead Jerry Manuel to use Robinson Cancel. Hitting the game tying single in the 8th with two on and two outs made the move look genius but moving forward over the weekend what are they going to do about the catcher's spot.

Gustavo Molina has already been sent home to prepare for winter ball and wasn't much of a hitter anyway. Raul Casanova never got recalled and who knows where he's been for the last two weeks since the minor league season ended.

The two position players listed as emergency catchers are hurt in Fernando Tatis and Damion Easley. Could Carlos Delgado actually have to catch in an emergency, his originally position Delgado hasn't played there since his rookie season......

Cancel started because Brian Schneider ended up at the Hospital for Special Surgery to get X-rays on his cranky upper back. The Mets label Schneider day-to-day. Before officially starting Cancel, Manuel approached Ramon Castro in the clubhouse during the afternoon. But Castro still has a problem with a nagging right quadriceps muscle. source Daily News
