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

Possible Blockbuster deal: CWS-Mets

John Perrotto of Baseball Prospectus in his latest On the Beat ( subscription Req.) is reporting a possible block buster trade in the works between the White Sox's and Mets. We know the teams have had dialogue and the two GMs are friendly. Several White Sox's blogs felt that the Vazquez trade was the predecessor to other maneuvers, could this be it. The Sox's get a potential all-star outfielder at 19y/o, plus probably solid young relievers with closer ability like Parnell and/or Kunz. The Mets get a young closer and the final piece to thier offense. Bring in Hoffman to mentor Jenks and the puzzle seems complete.


Perrotto speaks of whispers of a possible White Sox-Mets blockbuster. The Mets would receive Jermaine Dye and Bobby Jenks and the White Sox would receive Fernando Martinez among others. source MLBTR
