2006 All Star Leaders

The Mets have four players that are leading at their respective positions for the 2006 All Star game. Jose Reyes-SS(769,919) is less than 100,000 votes in front of David Eckstein (689,054) of St. Louis. David Wright-3B(1,018,804) is nearly 200,000 votes in front of Scott Rolen (819,390) of the St. Louis Cardinals. Paul Lo Duca -C(960,111) leads former Met Mike Piazza (680,773) of the San Diego Padres for the starting job behind the plate. In the outfield, the top vote-getter is Carlos Beltran -OF(1,129,865), followed by Alfonso Soriano (1,084,936) of the Washington Nationals and Jason Bay (1,069,986) of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Mets also have Carlos Delgado -1B in second place behind Albert Puljos. And at this time Albert Puljos is on the DL, if he is unable to play in the All Star game, then that would mean that Carlos Delgado would be the 5th Mets player to be in the starting lineup.

Best Team in Baseball

The Mets have jumped out to a 7 1/2 game lead in the NL East with a 40-23 record, thanks to their latest run of six straight wins. Carlos Beltran is finally having that great year that all Mets fans had hoped for, Carlos Delgado is better than what we thought, David Wright is coming into his own and is battling for the league lead in average and the youth are just playing well above expectations.

We as Mets fans, who have been waiting for so long to finally be able to have a product that not only is good, but is the best around. We have speed, pitching, hitting and defense and what is most important on any team vying for a championship, we have HEART!!!! We also have the chemistry that can lead us to a place we have not been to since 2000, yes, that is right the playoffs. This team has nothing to prove to it's fans, and all the haters out there (mostly Yankee fans) only wish they had what we have, a mix of young and old, that are geling and making a run at one of the best summers the Mets have ever had.

We, the fans look forward to more dramatic wins and great pitching duels, and just keep counting the days to when we can be in a position to finally win back what is rightfully ours, the NL East Division and the CITY!!!!!

Too Busy to Blog

Unfortunately I have been too busy to Blog about my favorite team. But that does not mean that I have not been watching them play. They are in 1st Place with a 36-23 record. What a summer this is turning out to be.
