Mets Win Again and nicknames for Wright and Reyes

The Mets racked up another win tonight 5-2 over the Nats. Maine picked up his first win. Also nice to see Jose starting to heat things up. I do not know if it was the time off to rest his hamstring or the switch to Church hitting behind him but he has been tearing the cover off the ball the last two games. Another strong game by the pen as well. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come as they are starting to play crisper baseball and getting on a roll albeit it is against the Nats.

There was some discussion over on Matt Cerrone's MetsBlog.com as to whether David Wright's nickname should be DWright or something else. I personally like the Beast but what do you guys think? s DWright good enough or should it be something else? I would like to take a few days and see what you guys think. Feel free to suggest other ones in the comments. My thought is that once we have a good list that we would put it to a vote. I also think Jose Reyes could use one while we are at it. He does have the Jose chant but doesn't really have a nickname. So lets get to it. If you do not want to post it in the comments feel free to message it to me here on the site.

Now That Is More Like It

Big win tonight as the Mets played well all around. Big Pelf again pitched a beauty lowering his ERA to 1.50 by throwing 7 scoreless innings. He also picked up his 2nd win. Just like in his first start Pelf just abused the lower portion of the strikezone with his sinking fastball. He also showed less nerves tonight and more confidence than in past starts. He is a much different pitcher now than this time last year when he was struggling as the 5th starter. The kid has nasty stuff he just needs to put it together which so far this year he has been doing.

David Wright was basically David Wright hitting a homerun and driving in 5. In my opinion he should have been MVP last year and if not for the Mets collapse he probably wins it. He plays the game right and has fun doing it.

Also want to say a big welcome back to Dirty. It is good to have you back man. Just stay out of the cabs. He makes the bullpen so much better. The only good thing to come from his injury in 2006 is Omar was able to somehow steal Ollie away from the Pirates as part of the Roberto Hernandez for Nady trade.
