What's The Deal?

I managed to catch a few minutes of the game from my hotel room thanks to Slingbox, but the Mets were actually winning 1-0 at that point. Perusing the boxscore seems to reveal that Oliver Perez was decent, not spectacular, while Pedro Feliciano was a bona fide run-hemorrhager. The biggest transgression came via the Met's offense, which managed practially zippo against Josh Emmereffing Fogg and his seven-plus ERA. It's terrific when Endy-Tatis-Easley are miraculously playing well, but when they turn back into pumpkins I don't think anyone can be surprised when it all turns to crap. And why is Brian Schneider back to playing every day? He has a .629 OPS! Ramon Castro is at .818. Jerry, you're killing us.

Big winners: Argenis Reyes, +11.0% WPA, Jose Reyes, +9.2% WPA
Big losers: Damion Easley, -20.0% WPA, Pedro Feliciano, -17.1% WPA
Teh aw3s0mest play: David Wright goes yard, +12.1% WPA
Teh sux0rest play: David Ross RBI single, -15.9% WPA
Total pitcher WPA: -26.0%
Total batter WPA: -24.0%

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
