The Mets did it again with an all-around great effort. I missed the game, but it sounds like they won it in the same way they've been winning all their games. Great starting pitching--this time from Dillon Gee. A timely home run--this time from Ike Davis (and Jason Bay hit one out as well) and a clutch defensive play---in this case it was Jason Bay robbing Jack Wilson of extra bases.
To celebrate the Mets 7th victory of the season--here are some quotes about the game..
1) "They're starting to realize what it takes to win at the major league level. That's always a scary thing when you're the opponent."
--Chipper Jones, on the emergence of the Mets
2) "I know it was the right decision. He just left a breaking ball over the plate and he hit it out. That was the name of the ball game."
--Fredi Gonzalez, on the decision to intentionally walk David Wright to face Ike Davis who hit a three run home run off Tommy Hansen
3) "Early in the year can be deceptive. When you start playing them for the second time, you really find out where you stand."
--Terry Collins, on not trying to get to excited about the Mets early season record
4) I never once thought that they'd be a pushover or anything like that and they haven't been."
--Dan Uggla, on the Mets early season record
5) "You've got five teams that can go out and beat anybody else's starter on any given night."
--Chipper Jones, on the NL East
