Quote: This is a Big Win
Yesterday, Carlos Delgado had two hits, including a game-changing two-run home run in the eighth inning.
Delgado, speaking to reporters about September and the Pennant Race, following yesterday’s game, said:
“I think this is a big win…We came back, we battled and got a huge win.”
In his last 30 plate appearances, spanning seven games, Delgado has eight hits, five of which were home runs, all of which were hit after the seventh inning.
This past weekend, I noticed a lot of fans and talk radio discussing whether Delgado has pushed himself in to talk for the NL MVP Award. I suppose that is fair, especially if the Mets end up winning the division, as there could certainly be a direct connection between the team’s resurgence and his.
The thing is, I could make that argument for a lot of people, such as Mike Pelfrey, Johan Santana, Jerry Manuel and others.
That said, if any one on the Mets is to be talked about as an MVP, I still feel it should be Reyes.
