RANDOM MUSINGS - West coast chicks not fond of the long ball?

Originally posted on 5/21

What’s going on with the Mets on the West coast?

Do you remember the last time the Mets hit a home run? Anyone? Bueller?

The correct answer: the eighth inning of last Wednesday’s game against Atlanta, when Gary Sheffield hit a bases-empty blast off Rafael Soriano. That’s 7 days and 69 innings with no easy trots around the bases.

Since then 134 players have at least one home run in the last seven days of games and 42 with have had multiple HR’s.

92 players with 1 HR
29 players with 2 Hr’s
10 players with 3 Hr’s
3 players with 4 Hr’s

So what gives? Do chicks only “dig the long ball” on the East coast?
