Twitter Poll: How many wins in Philly?

I took to Twitter to ask how many wins you think the Mets will win in Philly. I say one out of three.

Here’s what you think…

Quote from Collins–4/4

“We talked about it the other day, this us-against-the-world stuff. That’s great as a team phrase kind of thing, but you’ve got to believe you can go out and play.”

-Terry Collins

One Sentence: Mets 9–Marlins 2

Here’s one sentence to explain the game…

Homer- and walk-happy, the Mets bats did more than enough to support R.A. Dickey for their second win of the season.

On David Wright’s clutch

Via today’s game notes…

David Wright collected his 89th career game-winning RBI with his 10th-inning RBI single last night, to tie Mike Piazza for first place in team history.

Still think he’s not “clutch enough”?

One Sentence: Mets 6–Marlins 4

There are so many blog posts and game recaps detailing every nuance of the game. I aim for the Twitter approach: Summing up the game in one sentence. Here’s the first of 2011 (because I forgot to do it last night)…

A strong outing by Jon Niese and Bobby Parnell spoiled by Francisco Rodriguez, but the Mets bats came through in the 10th for the win.

Media Madness Winner: Anthony DiComo

Supported by a social media campaign, No. 8 seed Anthony DiComo came out on top of the inaugural Mets Media Madness tournament.

He started his journey by winning a play-in game, and then toppled No. 1 seed Adam Rubin, No. 5 seed Eddie Coleman and finally No. 3 seed David Lennon to become the first beat writer to win the battle.

For his victory, DiComo is presented this trophy…

His name will also be etched onto a plaque, for future tournament winners to be added to…

Congratulations, Anthony. You are the fans favorite beat writer!
