Carlos Beltran is "en fuego" right now, wow that is true. His numbers are amazing. However I can't help but feel that possibly "Mr. Met" and myself (and hell even fake Zoe) could have jacked one out on Eric Milton tonight. Goodness, I think I can take the brother deep a few times.
Let's hope Reyes learned his lesson and wont be sliding head first into first !
When Reyes pinch-ran right after his injury, he still stole third head first. Unfortunately for his pinkies, the kid needs to do what he does the way he does it.
After all, teaching him a new way to run certainly didn't work. Nor did putting him at 2nd base.

I don't know how Eric Milton survived all those years in the AL and actually put up decent numbers in the Homer Dome. Frank D. is right: I do believe that we could have taken Milton deep tonight. Probably Zoƫ too.
Why haven't we made a attempt to go after Soriano? if you look at his numbers, he would be the perfect second baseman
for us. Could you amagin him in the lineup with the rest of the guy's? The biggest part of this is he has been consistant on every team he's been on and he's still young. We've made some money this year as far as attendance, let's go after him and get another starting pitcher. I believe this will take us over the top.
I think Omar and Willie looked at Soriano during the offseason, but they don't believe (and neither did anyone else in the league) that Soriano is a second baseman. And since Willie was one of the best second basemen of his generation, I would think that he knows a thing or two about how to play second base and what it takes to be good at that position. Certainly the Nationals didn't think Soriano was an adequate second baseman, and once he stopped pouting like a spoiled brat he's actually become a fine leftfielder. The problem with Soriano is that he was a horrible second baseman defensively, but his power numbers waranted leaving him out there because the power-heavy AL lineups would just club themselves out of trouble. Not so in the NL. And despite the power numbers, I don't know if the Mets want someone at second base who makes Kaz Matsui look like a gold-glover.
