Maybe because its the playoffs and he disappears...

How many homers and RBI's in April and May really matter? You tell me the last home run in April that carried a team to a playoff win...

I think ARod is #3, no way I would put him above Pujols or Ortiz.

I am sure the Mets would have loved to have a couple of home runs in April to wins some games this past season.

Too bad they didn't give ARod a private plane, a lux box, and his own office at Shea...

Maybe then they could have lost in the NLDS just like the Yanks did with ARod's help...

I think April wins count the same in the standings as September wins.

I think the wins in July count the most, but thats just me.

Honestly, do you really think a win against the Royals in April is as important as a win against a divisional rival, fighting for a playoff spot in September?

The Mets, this season, would have gladly won a big game in September. You can always make up for a loss in April in any of the remaining months. You don't have much time to make up a few key losses in September.

A win is a win is a win. They all count for 1.

They do, but some are more important then others, you have to agree with that.

I agree that mentally for a team a win at an important time can be a big win

If you win in April and May then maybe you wont need to win as much in Sept. Each months wins are very important. To say a win in Sept is as important as a win in April is silly to me.

You are right. I know the Rockies wish they would have had the winning streak they had in April, rather then in September.

It took the Rockies 90 wins to clinch the wild card. What makes a difference how those 90 wins were allocated over the season? Perhaps if they won 12 out of 14 in April instead of going 10-16 in that month then they would have pushed for 1st place in their division. Every win and loss counts the same. I do agree that a good win is important for the big "MO."
