What a team this is
What a team this is. To describe them in one word is an impossible task. Gritty? Yes. And passionate? Yes. And amazin? Yes. All of those words describe this team and their ability to come back night after night while dealing with injuries and inconsistent play.
The Mets came back again tonight, beating the Padres and Heath Bell by a score of 9 – 8, scoring five runs in their last two offensive innings. Mike Pelfrey was sharp to being the game, but got into trouble and surrendered four runs to the Padres while the ‘pen allowed four additional runs to score. But, they got it done. They overcame the disappointment of losing their series to the Braves and losing two of the teams best hitters, Reyes and D. Murph to injury.
This team is different. This may be my favorite team that I can remember watching (considering I’m 16). Yeah, 2006 was great, and so was 2007 and 2008 until the last month of both years. This is my favorite team because they leave it all on the field, they shake off the adversity and the problems. Also, Terry Collins is maybe the biggest difference. He has an air about him that says never die.
