Mc Fullofit will be on tomorrow’s game

This type of crap usually does not excite me, but Boomer and Carton were doing a spot on the “vote for the 8th inning song” deal. There are 10 choices out there, and we have until Monday to vote. I’m campaigning for “I’m a Believer”. If you have to ask why this is the no-brainer of the century, then Steve can already eliminate you from the final game at Shea competition.

But this is the thick, the best of times, man. Our team is picked to win (though to add some spice, so are the Braves and Phils). We have hitters and pitchers and defense, an excellent GM, solid manager, our love affair with Shea for one more year and then gorgeous Citi Field. You gotta love it.

I’m with Tim Marchman. The Mets are in position to have a great season. Now it will depend on their grit and hustle…character, as they say. If they show grit and hustle, I am a happy fan, even if it turns out that we don’t arrive to the Promised Land in late October.

In my book, we are the team of destiny, until proven otherwise.

The match-ups for the weekend in Atlanta are spectacular. What a series…and how much better for us that the games against Smoltz this year will feature Santana in Orange and Blue instead of The Choker.

Yes, Frank, about David Wright, what a difference from last year’s early season hit streak, when he was extending it each day by nabbing a little bingle and no RBIs, no homers. He is truly the complete package. The Elias Sports Bureau reports that that the only players to have started their careers with at least 25 HRs, .300 bat average, and 100 RBIs, before the age of 25, in their first three full seasons, in addition to David Wright, were Joe DiMaggio and Albert Pujols (4 seasons each), Jimmy Foxx, Mel Ott, Ted Williams, Vladimir Guerrero, and Miguel Cabrera. It makes one stop to catch a breath.

Add on a Gold Glove (which Cabrera will never earn), stolen base proficiency, and the impeccable attitude… Man oh man, we are looking at one of the great ones.

Team of destiny, until proven otherwise.

Observations of last nights game: I cracked up when Perez stopped the game to add another hundred pieces of gum in him mouth but the best part was the camera switched to Peterson who looked at Randolf and shook his head. David Wright is on an early tear. The baseball must look like a beachball coming in to him right now and those 2 plays he made – OMFG! Finally, who on this planet thinks a baseball will bounce that high off of a padding as opposed to a steel railing? Umps need to get a clue. I’m a baseball purist but I have to agree with Beltran –> give each team 1 instant replay review. Could you imagine if the Mets lost by 1 run?
