NY Mets discussion

Shaun- I forgot to give kudos to the great photos! Grandy is coming around. I love him in the lead-off spot. The walks are invaluable.

Whatever happens in the post season is pure gravy, its been a fun year so far. Cespedes will not win the MVP, but no player has been more valuable to their team than him.

Curtis Granderson is one of the truly good guys in Baseball - I'm glad he is there to enjoy everything.

I was very amused yesterday, while suffering through another ugly Braves' game, the announcers were commenting that the Mets don't have any sympathy whatsoever for the current Braves'.

What goes around comes around - but we'll be back...in the meantime....


Go Mets!

Thanks!

Yeah - he's been quietly having a solid year. He's just a few walks away from his career high, and he might hit 100 runs scored for the year. His average is right around his career mark and it's the highest it has been since 2011. He's also hitting more doubles than he has in years. Lastly, he's making pitchers throw the ball - he sees the most pitches of anyone on the team, game in and game out. 30 pitches last night. He's a great clubhouse guy as well, which is invaluable.

Cespedes has been incredible. He seems to really be having fun. There's no doubt he's going to want a big contract after this year - but with the year he's having - he deserves it.
