Community Picks: NY Mets 0% vs Miami 0%

The Mets winning Monday against the Marlins is more exciting and impressive than their recent sweep of the Nationals in D.C. The fact is, because of the late start and finish Sunday night, the Mets did not get to their team hotel until around 5 a.m. Monday morning. It could have been an easy game to "mail in," sleep walk through a loss, get rest and go back at it in hopes of taking the series beginning Tuesday. In the first nine games of this season, I've been super impressed by the team's veteran hitters, specifically Asdrubal Cabrera, Jay Bruce, Todd Frazier, and even Adrian Gonzalez, all of whom are doing a great job with situational hitting, fouling balls off to see more pitches, getting big two-strike hits, and taking extra bases when the moment is right.

Former GM Jim Duquette doesn't believe Alex Rodriguez' story about wanting to sign with the Mets during his career. During ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast that featured the Mets and Nationals, Rodriguez said back in 2001 he thought about playing for the Mets.  "I thought I would make great concessions to go play for the Mets," Rodriguez said on the broadcast of Sunday's Mets-Nationals game. "I thought it was a great story for baseball." However, the Mets never had the money the Rangers were offering for the then Mariners star shortstop. Duquette, who was serving as the Mets' assistant GM at the time, said the acquisition wasn't even a possibility.  "[Rodriguez] indicated he was going to Continue to Article
