(It seriously hurt to write that. Three baseball seasons in a row like this one I hope to never experience again.)

I had alot of fun writing these articles, even in a season like this one. The injuries sapped us of basically everything, but it does give the other players a chance to shine, to some extent. Jeff Francoeur was great down the stretch and even David Wright won the award only once. Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it.

Of course, that’s not the whole story. His E.R.A.? 1.20 (2 ER in 15 IP) His win was a CG SHO on the last game of the season (WHERE WAS THAT THE LAST TWO YEARS?!)." Well, in September 2008, his first year on the Mets, Nelson was brought up from Triple A and put in the bullpen. He appeared in 7 games, pitched 6.2 innings, 2.70 ERA. September 2008. Why wasn't he asked to start as he had done all season in Triple A? You write: “Nelson Figueroa started two games this week, compiling a 1-1 record. Of course, that’s not the whole story.

If memory serves me right, I believe he walked none. A remarkable accomplishment for any Mets starting pictehr. When will Dan Warthen drill it into their heads!!! PITCH TO CONTACT!!! What the damn good is a big park if you're not going to use it to your advantage!!! Figueroa probably delivered the best pitching performance of the season.

Despite all the bad baseball, week after week you spotlighted one of the bright spots and I've enjoyed reading these player of the week awards. It's amazing when you look at all the winners and don't see the names of Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, K-Rod and Jose Reyes. That just shows why the season ended up like it did.
