Open Letter To Jerry

Please do not mess with success. This was a great game against The 
Yankees. I am sure there will be numerous articles about it. But what 
stands out is the supurb pitching by Takahashi.
Meanwhile in Buffalo, John Maine completed a rehab assignment where he 
threw in the mid 80's and expressed frustration at the umpire and 
himself. This is a familiar scene. A familiar scene from the bad old 
days of sloppy play and a team most adept at self destruction.
This not meant as a knock on Maine. But he is a competitor who beats 
himself more than the other team.
Takahashi must remain in the starting rotation. He is a gamer who seems 
to embody the spirit of this Mets team: a never say die attitude, an 
unlikely hero, with a self confidence that borders on cocky and 
performance to match.
Maine has expressed a willingness to go into the bullpen; an unselfish 
offer that You must take him up on.
Takahashi was simply brilliant tonight and deserves a permanent spot in 
the rotation. This team has the potential for greatness and Takiashi 
is a vital contributor.
Jerry, it's your call. Make the move that shows you believe in this 
team.This is not the time to worry about bruised egos and past 
reputations. This is the time rather, to embrace the present and 
anticipate a summer of competitive and exciting play.
