Shawn Green took some advice to help him hit those two home runs yesterday:

Shawn Green was in the batting cage in Houston last week trying to find the power stroke he used to hit 192 home runs between 1998 and 2002, when teammates Carlos Delgado and Julio Franco and Mets hitting coach Rick Down approached him with some strange advice - start tapping his toes.

No, Delgado, Franco and Down weren't recommending some magical dance that would transform Green into the power hitter he once was. Instead, they all thought the toe tap would help Green get his timing down.

And as quickly as Green could say, "Fred Astaire," he turned into the hitter he once was - at least for now.

Not only have the Mets put together a very talented team, they appear to be very well coached.
