Though Spring training results are usually meaningless, I couldn't help but notice the Mets' nice win yesterday over the University of Michigan, 8 to 1.
The win cannot be ignored because while most exhibition games are against teams that don't care about the end result, you know that the Wolverines were trying their hardest to upset a big league squad. UM players were also trying to impress Michigan alumn Fred Wilpon, knowing that just one good performance could potentially net them a multi-million dollar contract from the Mets owner.
Realizing the importance of winning this game, the Mets sent their own Fab Five of David Wright, Jason Bay, Daniel Murphy, Luis Castillo, and Alex Cora. They helped the Mets pound Michigan's pitching staff for 8 runs on 15 hits.
The win should help boost the Mets' hopes for an at-large bid come tourney time.
