The Boo York Mets

Well it is almost the end of April and the New York Mets have done almost absolutely nothing to start the season on a good note. Sure it turns out Johan Santana was a good move, but our multi-million dollar batting lineup has done diddly squat. Going into tonight's game, the Mets have had an astounding 10 home runs from five players, two home runs from lead off hitter Jose Reyes, which matches sluggers Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado combined. Speaking of which, Reyes is batting .260, while Beltran is batting .230 and Delgado, .208. Where is the hitting!? Plus, going back to Reyes, he has stolen a mere four bases while the league leader has 12. Now after the Mets have lost a pair, with I might add great disappointment, to the Chicago Cubs, they come out strong with Santana and get a win against a weak Washington Nationals team. But now in game two of the series, the mighty Aaron Heilman gave up a grand slam to let the Nats grab a 7-3 lead. So what is the key to success in a web of Mets' weaknesses? First off, it's okay if you don't have a lead, hey it happens. But when the Mets have a lead, they have to hold onto it. So Duaner Sanchez is the key to revive that cruddy bullpen with his comeback, and to make future New York success.
