He now has a terrific pitcher that is going to bring it and be hungry for the closer spot if K-rods slips (velocity or if he blows his arm out, he pitches with alot of stress aginast his arm) Today I finally understand why Omar traded for Putz.

Beltran and the "New Mets", I'm here to win, Pedro, I want to bring a championship to NY. Santana...blah, blah, blah. It does get old, but, with the second collpase in two years, a new ballpark and a new pen I think its time. Im glad that K-Rod is going after the Phillies and now we need to WIN, WIN, WIN !!!! Lets bury them like the Braves of the 90's. Lets win the division by double digits and win it early. LETS GO METS !!! YES, we have heard the same thing over and over again.

I say it's interesting because it shows that although he knows his relationship with his family should be different he's just not ready for that. At the same time he also says he's different than the guy you see on the mound. You hardly ever get to understand players and what they're thinking, that's why I love pieces like this. It's real reporting with a real story.

That has tshirts and ads and billboards written all over it. Seriously, people get paid crazy amounts to think of slogans not nearly as good as that one.

I added the word goal in because I keep seeing it every where. Here goes: One team. One Goal. One DestiNY(the n in orange and the y in blue). Eh?

OK....take a deep breath..... Yes, I was being sarcastic. Can we stop with the "team to beat" proclamations, go out there and play the game? Can we get Tom Coughlin to put up "Talk is cheap, play the game" slogans in the Citifield clubhouse? Yes, its a cliched response, i'll agree with that. At the same time, we can't complain its a cliched response when in the same breath we criticize this team for not having a "leader" on thier team. It's one or the other!
