Big night for my beloved Mets last night. Before the first pitch of their game was thrown the Phils and Brewers were training early and hope was high that the Mets could gain some ground last night.
Well, it wasn't easy, but they got the job done with a 9-5 win. I'll highlight a couple of unlikely heroes. First off, Aaron Heilman got a huge out in the 7th with the tying and lead runs in scoring position. Next bullpen hero was Brian Stokes who came in to start the 8th. After giving up a lead off single he got the next 3 guys out and, in a nice stroke of managing by Jerry Manuel, Stokes came back out to start the 9th and to the delight of all Mets fans he had an easy 1-2-3 inning.
So, after this win, their third in a row, the Mets are now 8 games into their final 17 games and their record in those games is now:
4 Wins
4 Losses

I have to tell you the feeling this morning is a lot different than three days ago. Kind of like the election. And another thing that should be debated. Jose Reyes for MVP. I have heard some announcers say this...if you go strictly numbers it is Pujols. Period. Not Howard, not Beltran (who is again my favorite player), not Wright, not Delgado. Reyes is 1st in hits, 6th in runs, 2nd in SB, batting .300, 16 HR and 64 RBI and leads in AB. He is the spark plug for the team.
I say this year give it to the little guys: Reyes and Pedroia. Although Manny might have a chance in the NL with those crazy numbers.
