Something positive about the Mets appears in newspaper!

Wow, that’s two newspaper guys in two weeks! Here’s Bill
Madden in the News

The Mets’ rotation of Santana, Jonathan Niese, Dickey, Pelfrey and Dillon Gee has an ERA of 3.48 with 83 hits, 69 strikeouts and 26 walks over 80 innings and 14 starts. The Yanks have a 5.84 ERA with 107 hits allowed, 77 strikeouts and 23 walks over 81 2/3 innings and 15 starts by the quintet of CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes, Kuroda and Garcia. And as much as we despise the “quality start” stat (six or more innings, three or fewer runs), it has become a fact of life in baseball and, in this case, further illustrates the Mets’ superiority over the Yankee starters so far. Even without Santana having gone beyond five innings, the Mets’ starters have eight quality starts out of 14 as opposed to the Yankees’ five out of 15.

I had gotten so used to every article talking about the Mets crappy rotation, their lack of offense, their dollar fifteen payroll and the expected 137 losses that I don’t know what to when someone writes something objective, maybe even positive.

As I said all winter there will be lots of frontrunners if this team starts winning. I’m going to call you all on your bullchips.
