  Thats who they are… terrible for a few days, WINNING! for a few days… It will be an up and down year, with the final result being somewhere around .500 give or take a few games.

    Do any of you supposed Mets fans realize that you partially are contributing to the success or failure of the Mets? being negative and having no hope and not going to games and rooting for your team is not going to motivate anyone. If you love your team you should be happy, yesterdays win was one of the biggest wins in recent memory. You need to support your team and be happy for them, let them carry this confidence over into the rest of the season. It’s difficult to do that though when your supposed fans are crushing you and telling you it’s a fluke.

  This kid’s heart and enthusiasm is infectious. Murphy may not be the best option at second base, but for every mistake he make with the glove he more than makes up for it with his bat. the other thing is that the Mets are winning with him at 2B and that should mean something.

  this is why i love this kid so much. he aint the best defensive player but what he does on the field and off the field speaks volumes. i dont know how anyone can root against him or even say one bad thing about him. he aint just all talk he backs it up. he is a leader. he says they will win 100 games you better believe it

  It’s great to finally get something from this position……no if he could only be where he’s supposed to we might really have something resembling a complete team.

  Murphy will win more games with his bat than lose with his glove. Guy you call a “professional hitter”. Keith Hernandez already was saying he wants him up there in a clutch situation before yesterday. Lets Go Murph!!

  Am I the only one thinking Young makes a better RH PHer than Hu? Hu knew?
• Cdub April 28, 2011 at 9:29 am

  Ive always supported Murphy. I remember when he was the 1st base starter after Delgado went done and played well. Anyone remember that circus throw?

  We have now seen both sides of the coin.

  They can win impressivly and lose impressivly.

  Now the only question left to answer is which way and how often the coin flips to one side or the other!

  But I will point this out.
  This winning streak has not actually been the best baseball this team can play! They have fought hard recently despite so so pitching and so so batting.

  We have yet to see what this team is capable of when firing on all cylinders.
  When the pitching is stingy and the Bats are alive and everyone is hot.

  They dug themselves a hole early and are now digging themselves out of it.
  Once they dig themselves out will they go back to the lackadaisical play or take the next step and tear up the league for awhile.

  If they time it right we could even be Buyers ate the trading deadline!

    Metsie, aren’t those same questions/coins applicable to every team.
    Buyers? have u not been reading the financial pages? They’re one step behind LAD in falling into MLB receivership. Don’t disillusion yourself it leads to grave disappointments or just graves(lol)
    • Metsie April 28, 2011 at 11:41 am

      Yep they are which is why chicken little 23 games into the season is as dumb as thinking you found the end of the rainbow 23 games into the season is!

      Life/reality/baseball is peaks and valleys.

      What is key is HOW HIGH are the peaks, and how LOW are those valleys.

      Somewhere in between is the average. Very High peaks and moderatly low valleys will average higher on the good than the bad.

      And in response to your buyer question, buyers in this sense has nothing to do with money. You don’t have to trade money at bthe deadline merely trade multiple players to get someone who can help you win more than you already are!

      This is as opposed to being a seller where guys like beltran and reyes are sold off for prospects because we don’t feel we have a chance to win with them and try to get players we can win with in the future.

      It’s about players not money and the truth is that the minority sale should be done by the time the deadline arrives and the debts to MLB will be repaid!

      If we are actually in a position to become buyers it means we are winning and the attendance numbers will also improve meaning they will have the money to pay not only who they get but reyes as well!

      The Wilpon Haters can boycott based on who owns the team but if they start winning and compete then someone will go and buy all those tickets and the money will flow!

  We can all learn from Murphy’s attitude and summon our inner Tug McGraw. Positive thinking can bring about amazing results. LETS GO METS!
