I don't have that big problem with Mike Jacobs being on this team, my issue is more with why Chris Carter isn't on the team. Between Jacobs, Tatis and Cattalanotto someone should have been sacrificed to make room for Carter.Anthony DiComo of mets.com has a great artcile on Jacobs today. After barely making the team and then being given a starting spot when Murphy went down, Jake admits to pressing. He also states that the booing serves as motivation and that he hopes his first homerun will get him on track. Interestingly Francoeur admitted that this team needs to score more runs..."For me it takes a little pressure off, just getting your first one out of the way," Jacobs said of his 100th career homer, referencing teammate Jeff Francoeur's hot start to the season. "Everybody wants to start out like Frenchy. But that doesn't always happen." source MLB.com
