2005 ATL Season Review
by "Apple Jack" La Guardia
Sports Reporter
New York Metro News
The Mets season can only be called disappointing.
After new management took over the team it was involved in a tight wild
card race. They had given up more runs than they scored. The pitching
was terrible. Changes had to be made.
The season became a revolving door with new players arriving every
week. The changes seemed to work as the Mets opened up a 4 game lead
for the wildcard with 4 games to play. Then the Mets lost all their
remaining games including a one-game playoff to the New York Giants.
As for the season stats since hardly anyone played a whole season so
they are not very impressive. Babe Ruth led the club with 30 homers, 76
RBI & 95 Runs. Newcomer Spot poles hit .346 to lead the club.
In pitching, newcomer William Bell led with 7 wins & a 3.39 ERA.
What is in store for the 2006 ATL Mets? The only sure thing is more changes.
P.S. We will be back next year . . .
