Delgado continues surprising rebirth: Carlos Delgado hit his 31st home run of the year to give New York a 3-2 lead Monday. "(Eric Gagne) was trying to make an 0-2 pitch, and it got too much of the plate," manager Ned Yost said. "He wasn't even trying to throw a strike. He just didn't hit his spot. He didn't execute." It was the fourth win in five games for the Mets, and all four victories have been comebacks. "Good teams do this," Delgado said. "It's important. It shows that you can do it. Ideally, you want to be ahead but if you're not you've got to put together some good at bats, get some base runners and come up with a big hit. It says a lot about the character and the will we have with this ballclub." It was Delgado's 462nd career homer, tying him with Jose Canseco for 31st place on the all-time list. "Obviously, it's flattering," Delgado said. "I'm going to play a couple more years, so I'm not so concerned with the guys on that list." (Updated 09/02/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Delgado has been an MVP candidate since early June and looks like a solid start in all Fantasy leagues down the stretch. The future Hall of Famer is performing well in the clutch for the Mets and Fantasy crunch time for his owners. The Mets first baseman has 20 homers and 60 RBI since June 27, the most of any NL player in that time. "Carlos has been amazing," New York manager Jerry Manuel said. "If he's swinging it well, he seems to come up at the right time and put a good swing on it. He's been outstanding." (Updated 09/02/2008).
