Willie's World

Wonderlicious!

Hello there Met fans! Willie here again after the most super-duper of starts to the season. We are 4-0, have outscored our opponents in every game, and best of all, we haven't lost once! I don't like to take credit when it's not due, but since in this case it's totally due, I'm going to take it all. I'm such an awesome manager! Let me go into specific details about how I've gotten our team off to such a great start:

1. I thought long and hard in the off-season about re-tooling our lineup, and one night, in a dream, the perfect solution came to me. I decided that I would bat the pitcher in the 9th spot, and put Reyes in the lead-off spot. I think this maneuver has paid off handsomely. (Nearly as handsome as me in fact.)

2. I've decided to instruct my team to do their best to score more runs than they allow the other team to score against us. I think this will definitely help us win more games. I showed them a statistic that in games where the other team scored more runs than we did, we lost 100% of the time! After I informed the team of this, I saw a stunned look come across their faces. I could tell the stats were sinking in, and I think we're seeing the results on the field.

3. And finally and perhaps most importantly, I've decided that I have to focus more on baseball and spend less time chasing women and chugging alcohol. Just kidding. Willie's got to be Willie!!!!

Anyway Met fans, big game this afternoon, my boy Tommy G. is going to take on John Smellz of the Atlanta Gay-ves. After a few celebratory shots of tequila last night (a special brew that Jose Valentin made for me in his hotel room bathtub), I came up with a new play which I may debut today, if we need it. So stay tuned and let's go Mets!!
