Introduction to me, Corey

Baseball has been a big part of my life, in fact I can even go so far as to say that I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for baseball, and of course the Mets. You see, my dad asked my mom out and for their first date he took her to a met game and i think baseball really brought them together. But enough about baseball and family let's talk about the team that over it's brief 46 year history has shocked, surprised, given you hope only to let you down, and a rare victory here and there. Yes the New York Mets. I love the Mets because well, I'm simply addicted to them. They are a breath of fresh air compared to the stench of everything else going on in the world like dirty politics, violence, and crime. The Mets have always been cast under the great shadow that is the New York Yankees. However that is the main reason why I love them, they represent the under dogs who nobody expects to win but does anyway due to tough gritty baseball and never giving up with two strikes and two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Another reason I like the Mets is because I love statistics. Yes you can call me whatever you like but I find it very intersting to dissect the information and projecting into probable outcomes for the future. So you can call me the stats guru of the bunch. For instance I would be surprised if anybody else but me in this family knew how many stolen bases Endy Chavez had with the nationals in 2004 (32), or if anybody else knew all of the starting lineups for just about every team. I'm not writing them all down! So to get down to buissness my purpose in this blog is to write the statistical view as well as emotional view of the Mets. I know I didn't show the emotional side here but I have been known to toss some pillows when Aaron Heilman gives up a 8th inning home run, my mom can vouch for me. Ok well then I hope somebody actually read this , and if you did you're in for a helluva ride.
