The Mets Police

Well, they sure pulled one out of their bums tonight. Showed some heart and nice job out of the guys who no one heard of 2 months ago - Ramon Martinez and Robinson Cancel.

They end tonight either tied for the WC or a game up and 1 behind the Phillies. This is their chance to do it. I am lifting some lines from Theodore Roosevelt now, fits this club rather nicely.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Go get it - it's right there for the taking.
