Mets Have Had Their "Phil" Of Losers Like Rollins!
WOW, here we go, baseball's back! Well, at least spring training games are. Oliver Perez will lead things off and open the Mets exhibition season on Wednesday, when they face off against the AL Champion, Detroit Tigers. The game will be televised at 1:00 PM on SNY for any of you who cant wait to get some baseball into your system again.
I seemed to generate much debate on one of my blogs last week that listed Jose Reyes as the number one reason the Mets will got to the World Series in 2007. The consensus seemed to be that I should have tabbed David Wright as number one, and most were shocked that I didn't even list him among my five reasons. Interestingly enough, David Wright was asked to comment on Jose Reyes yesterday, and had this to say to Steve Popper of the Bergen Record...
"He's dynamic," Wright said. "We're two pretty different players. He's dynamic in all aspects of the game. He does everything exceptionally well in all aspects of the game. You can't look around baseball and find many more well-versed, five-tool players than Jose. He can absolutely do it all. The scary thing is he gets better and better."
As for all the hate mail my last blog generated from devoted Philly fans in the last 24 hours, I'll just say that the only retraction I am going to make regarding yesterdays post is this...
In the last sentence of my article I said that the Mets outclassed the Phillies. In doing so I implied that the Phillies had some class. I would like to retract the inference that the Phillies had some class and make it clear to all that they have no class.
Incidentally, I'm sick and tired of hearing our former (and worst) GM, Steve Phillips, knocking down the Mets every chance he gets. He recently commented on ESPN that the Phillies are the team to beat and the Mets better watch out. Somebody please shove a Mo Vaughn bobble head down his throat please.
