We got a wakeup call. If it had been the right score between Mexico and Canada, we were heading home.
If we can get outs in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, we'll be fine. We're going to score some runs. We've got plenty of starters. But we've got to hold the fort down after the starter goes out.
Any win is important nowadays. Obviously, Philly has been playing well and their score was posted on the scoreboard before we started. They lost and we knew we had a golden opportunity to gain a game. We went out and did it. So it's two more off the magic number, whatever it is. It's probably 100. But nonetheless, it's another day in the books and we gained a game.
We got a win. No matter how ugly it is, it's still a win,
Roger isn't ever going to let up, no matter who he's playing.
It does show we're going back to normalcy when Met fans begin booing again.
I think he's a landslide winner. You're talking about a guy who plays Gold Glove defense, the best center fielder in the game, bar none. Everybody's just been waiting for him to turn the corner offensively, and now he's done that.
I thought it was awesome. I never played winter ball, never got to play in a Caribbean Series. The Mexican fans brought a lot of excitement to the game.
Logic would say Roger has the upper hand in that situation.
That was him being less stubborn and making some changes he needed to make at the plate.
I think chemistry is probably our greatest asset right now. It can only be a good thing. These guys are close knit.
We just have to wait and see how the pain is the next couple of days. Right now I feel the ankle took the brunt of it.
To this day, I still don't know how he does it. He kept sticking guys out there and giving them confidence.
With a guy like Edgar, a good situational hitter, we'll be fine.
