We've been asking for a spark all year...Wondering all season who's going to step up and give this team a jolt. Ladies and gentlemen, we've found our guy.
Fernando Tatis, welcome to Shea Stadium my friend!
Not only did the Mets need this win, they got it in the absolute best way: coming back two times, once in the ninth on Endy Chavez's homer, and then, of course, Tatis' game-ending double in the 12th after going down 6-5 in the top of the frame.
This was a beautiful baseball game and one that should get this team headed in the right direction.
It's incredible, but in just two games, you can sense a totally different buzz around this team. Guys on the top step, cheering, pumping fists, encouraging each other. This is the kind of baseball we want and expect to see. How nice it sounded to hear all of those Mets Lifers going crazy at the ol' stadium.
Don't look now, but Jose Reyes is starting to heat up in a big way, smacking another HR and a double while stealing a base.
Great catch by Carlos Beltran also, running in the right center fireld gap to track down a bullet that would have scored two runs. If you haven't seen the play, you have to check it out. I still can't believe he ran that ball down. Off the bat, it looked for sure like it was headed to the gap.
Have to give Willie Randolph some credit for shaking things up. He had to do something, and so far his super-subs are paying dividends for him over these last two games.

Yes I agree. Totally different feel last night. And you dont have to believe me, but when Endy Chavez came to bat in the ninth last nite, I said aloud to myself "He's going to hit a home run." And he did.
Lets just hope the Mets can pound Brad Penny again tonight. He's on my fantasy team so I benched him tonight. Dont make me regret it, Mets.

They looked like the Mets of old last night. This team has laid over and died all year when they trail in the late innings, but last night provided a totally different feel. Let's see if the trend can continue.
