Those Mets

FRANCOEUR'S GOT ATTITUDE AND I LIKE IT

Jeff Francoeur is officially sick of hearing about 2009. How sick? He is willing to put the Mets on the same footing as the world champion Yankees. "At this point, who cares what happened last year?" Francoeur said today following the Mets' first full-squad spring workout. "Even though the Yankees, they won it, but it really doesn't matter at this point. It's a new season." That point was highlighted by manager Jerry Manuel and GM Omar Minaya during a morning meeting. Players then dispersed to work out in the chilly conditions --temperatures were in the 50s with a frigid wind. "Jerry did a great job today of talking about how we need to have some fun, stay focused and stay healthy," Francoeur said. "Besides [Carlos] Beltran, you look at everyone is healthy that is supposed to be healthy, and that is huge. "We have no excuses now. We've got everybody we need here. We've got one more guy to get back hopefully in May, and if we can't win with that, then it's our fault." (NY Post Mets Blog)
