Perspective

Let’s not forget a couple of things:

1) We went up against Zambrano on Monday. Many teams have been shut down by the Big Z… no shame in that.

2) Tuesday night was a perfect storm of sorts. Lily is not as bad as his statline would indicate and we fielded a pretty awful lineup on Tuesday (minus Church, Castillo, and Schneider). Lily was eventually going to rebound… why not against an offense whose 6-9 hitters are anemic?

any lineup with Castillo

that we field is an upgrade. Alou can’t get back fast enough, and we have to keep him on the field.

I don't care for your damn numbers, Mr. Simon.

I don’t care for them one bit.

Help me, Johan Santana.

You’re my only hope.

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
