For a team that "sucks" (according to some on this site), the Mets are now 7 games over .500 and right in the thick of the NL East playoff race.
On a side note, the fan falling was comical, but was only the second best fan shot of the night (there was a girl with tremendous yammer jammers that caught the camera man's eye) ...

haha, I'll take that Ironman. I have suffered with this team for a long time (and especially since that Beltran K in the '06 NLCS), but this feels GOOD ...Ironman92;1219472 wrote:Easy boy....the lineup was very week looking against the Reds...mix in 2 great pitchers and some young guys that are pretty decent that I just don't know a ton about.
They seem to be doing well...glad you are enjoying it.....but Mets/Phillies, two of my least favorite...sorry

Really can't argue with you there man, not many superstars in the lineup, but they just know how to win. Ironically, their "big hitter" (Jason Bay ... ughhh) has been out most of the season. What's amazing is that Ike Davis and Daniel Murphy are FINALLY starting to hit after rough starts, yet we are still in great shape. The unsung hero on this team is Ruben Tejada -- guy has played a flawless shortstop and is a doubles machine, including many clutch hits. Honestly, I don't miss Reyes that much ...Ironman92;1219563 wrote:Gotta admit.....if you don't follow and just look down the random lineup your like.....who, who, David Wright (oh he's really good), kinda heard of him, who, who, kinda heard, who, pitcher

Not to bring fantasy baseball into this discussion, but I picked Mike Trout in the fifth round this year (Note: this is a keeper league, so all the studs are usually long gone even before the draft) and everyone thought I "reached." Yeah, guess not ... guy is a STUD.Ironman92;1219879 wrote:Mike Trout is FLYING up the best baseball player in the world chart.

Also, good pick.
