Five in a row. Holy *&%#!!!! As long as it helps with staying out of the cellar.

The Mets hit back-to-back homers for the first time this season on Tuesday, when Justin Turner and David Wright took Rodriguez deep in the first inning. It marked Wright's sixth 20-homer season, tying Mike Piazza for second most all time in Mets history. Darryl Strawberry holds the record with eight. Wright also tied Ed Kranepool for most hits in franchise history at 1,418 later in the game.

In half the time it took Kranepool to do it as well.

I hope the Mets make the correct decision and offer Wright a really nice contract.

kelmac07 · 09-26-2012, 08:30 PM

Wright passes Kranepool as Mets' all-time hits king.

The record-setting knock came in the third inning Wednesday, when Wright dribbled an infield single down the third-base line for his 1,419th career hit. With that, he snapped a tie with Kranepool to become the franchise's all-time hits leader in his ninth big league season. The Mets honored him with a brief video tribute on the center-field video board, as the Citi Field crowd saluted him with a standing ovation.

An inning later, he added hit No. 1,420 to his career total with another single in the fourth.

Congrats David!!

That's awesome! I hope the Mets management shows him some love in a few weeks.

Dave128 · 09-27-2012, 03:02 PM

Mets beat the Pirates 6-5 (the bullpen tried to blow it in the 9th)! Wright hits HR number 21 and Dickey gets his 20th win!!

kelmac07 · 09-27-2012, 06:10 PM

Congrats to RA Dickey...13 strikeouts in his 20th win. And a Mets win!!

Keeping my fingers crossed Dave.

Me, too.

kelmac07 · 09-29-2012, 06:16 PM

Being six games up on the Marlins with only five games left...we are left with at least a
4th place finish. Dickey won 20 and SHOULD be in contention for the NL Cy Young.

Hey...at least we didn't finish in the cellar.

Dave128 · 09-29-2012, 10:16 PM

That's cause for celebration right there, Mac!

I think that Gonzalez is your NL Cy Young winner. I hate to say it.

Jeez, I don't want Gonzalez to win, that's why I said I hate to say it. I think Dickey has had a great year and is deserving. I just think the Nats are this year's NL Darlings and may get the vote. Sorry!!

Nothing personal Justin. I'm with you in believing that Gio is gonna get the majority of the votes because he plays on a winner, and Dickey plays on the Mets with a losing record (again).

09-30-2012, 01:02 PM

Cool. I hate the Nats more than anyone so is rather anyone win it over Gonzalez.

I absolutely disagree. The Cy has gone to plenty of guys on bad teams, unlike the MVP which typically goes to a guy on a playoff bound team. I think now that he capped off 20 wins, there is no question Dickey is the favorite for the CY.
