Ed Price of AOL writes, “Now batting cleanup for the Mets: faith. Hitting fifth: hope.”
In a post to Metstradamus, John explains why, at this point, Omar Minaya might as well ‘stick to his guns.’
In a report for the Boston Globe, Adam Kilgore 
compares the 1962 Mets to the 2009 Washington Nationals.
…the Nationals really are a mess…
…i always wonder what a business like this is thinking when they see a team like the Rays…
Rusty at the Real Dirty talks with Ron Swoboda, who likes Dan Warthen, David Wright and Citi Field.
For more on last night’s win against the Cardinals, check out post-game recaps from Brooklyn Met Fan, Mets Today and the Daily News.
Lastly, go to Flip Flop Flyball to see a clever graphic that shows when every player on the 1986 Mets arrived to the team, and when they left.
…fascinating… this gives an idea of what people mean, i guess, when they talk about a team’s supposed window to win… for instance, it appears the Mets window was 1985 to 1988, prior to which and after which the main group was in tact…
With Beltran on the DL, DWright now knows what it was like to be Mike Piazza!
So much more credit should be given to Mike (and Bobby Valentine for managing the team).
And for goodness sake, please retire Mike’s number!
I agree with Metstradamus. The Mets lineup is so depleted right now, one bat will not make that much of a difference. Plus all GMs know what Omar is up against, so they will ask for the moon for any player. No sense in trading what’s left of the farm for one bat that may end up not making much of a difference anyway.
The next two weeks will really show us what these Mets are made of. It may be too early to tell but if last night’s win is any indication, this ragtag bunch could all challenge David Eckstein for the title of Scrappiest Player.
