C.O.M.E.S.H.O.T.

Despite the poor play of the Mets the past 7 games, I'm still feeling optimistic and readying for the postseason (especially with the Mets leading the Marlins right now). So I'm reviving Cockeyed Optimist Monitoring Every Situation with a High Outlook Theses to have a thread for positive thoughts about the Mets. Thanks to Edgy for finding the original thread started by Johnny Dickshot. Here are some starters: They've hit rock bottom and are on the upswing David Wright puts the seal on his MVP candidacy and has a killer final week of the regular season at the plate. The Magic Number is 9. Could be 3 by Monday morning. The Phillies have one fewer game left to play. That's one more chance for the Mets to run down the magic number. They team has not recorded any embarrassing pop, metal, or hip-hop songs all season. Autumn brings out the best in the Mets pitchers.

Delgado starts swinging a hot bat, El Duque is fit and ready for the playoffs, Joe Smith regains his early season brilliance.

Great thread. Negativatoriests please refrain from introducing anything non-positive to this table.

This is the family version.

I vaguely recall writing that post but have no memory of, if you will, coming up with COMESHOT. What a pig.

After being unreliable most of the year, Delgado has found some of that magical pop we fell in love with last season. Beltran has been playing like a superstar who's team needs him in the lineup, rather than a superstar who doesn't play when he's not 100%. Mota has had 4 straight appearances without giving up a run and his ERA is now the lowest it's been since August 15th.

Rickey Henderson had GIN three times during batting practice yesterday.

The Magic Number will be 3 at the end of this night.

Hopefully Alou hasn't spent his COMESHOT load with this hitting streak. He's simply a mean bitch at the plate.
