As I look back over the last few posts, I realized they all had a connection through pitching. As much as a fan of baseball that I am, for some reason, I don't relate well to the pitching aspect. I always took more of an offensive approach. (Maybe because when I played, it was either OF or 1B...Only when desperate, did a team put me in to pitch...
Anyway, during the winter of 2006, all the talk was on the Mets getting Barry Zito. I chided a good friend and co-worker that he wasn't worth the $ - and he liked to rib me by saying that his team, the Giants, were a better fit. And, I think they are. With Zito's 0-4 record (as I am writing this, he is ahead by a run over the Diamondbacks - http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=280422129 ) the Mets fans would have ran him out of town a la Ed Whitson. Just imagine, Mike Pelfrey, a home-grown Met was being ridiculed late last year with his 0-and-something record.
Zito will come around, and his back class will support him, but we were smart to wait it out and land Santana.
Other notes...been a bit upset that the Mets lost 3 in a row -- especially two to the Cubs. I don't know what is wrong with Delgado, but he should be righted soon.
Well, I'll be back tomorrow, so stay tuned...I welcome any and all comments and...See you at the BallPark.
