I know his injury had something to do with that but still....
I do think he's adjusting to NYC and will have a much bigger year next year to help the Mets finish 2nd to last instead.

3rd place now.
Movin' on uppppppp!
And the Nationals are finished. Weeeee! They'll be last or next to last. Phillies should finish last. So... at worst, the Meters finish 3rd this year. Not bad at all. |

Agreed except for the Johnson stuff....I think he is not worth all the $$$ we spent on him....I think we could have gotten a couple younger guys that can grow with the Yankees instead of a big name that I haven't seen do anything special on the mound
WANG hopefully will be part of the Yankees future and help rebuild the team along with Cano IMO |

yeah, i'll just give the B.U. benefit of the doubt for getting used to factor.. i think he'll be much more effective next season. Cano looking good and Giambi seems like hes hittin that needle again, but its not the batters that concern me, its the pitching... |

Because... they stink and went from being the most underrated team in the NL to being the most overrated team in the NL from a simple name change and a few terrible FA signings? |

| Just looked at Runs Scored. The Nationals have scored more runs than... NO ONE. They are the lowest scoring team in the majors. 382 runs. The closest team is the Pirates with 388. After that... the Astros with 407. |

I still don't understand why you think they (Nationals) are overrated? Because they've been in first place for a month and win by close margins?
Like you said, they have no outstanding statistics to boast about, so I don't understand how they can be overrated.
and just because we got slammed last night 14-1, doesn't mean we're finished yet. We won tonight and hopefully tie the series against the 'Stros tomorrow. |

Guerrero is being a Yankee killer in the Angels series, with 2 go-ahead (and game-winning) home runs.
Yanks have four 150-game winners pitching in this series, but are in danger of getting swept
Now the A's are ahead of the Yanks in the AL wild card race
Mets weren't looking too good right before the All-Star break, but they now have a better record than the Padres, the first-place team in the NL West
They were tied for 2nd in the NL wild card race before Friday's loss to the Dodgers. Hopefully they'll at least just keep playing steadily, and as well as they have so far in the 2nd half. Beltran is hitting better. Reyes was awesome in Saturday's win, which happened despite Pedro not being at his best. The starting rotation had 8 quality starts in a row. |

They have no outstanding statistics. And that is why they are overrated. I'm not talking about by baseball fans who know what they're talking about. I'm talking about the Baseball Tonight crew and other media. Because they were in first for so long, they got WAYYYYY more props than they deserved.
I have no faith in them keeping anything up. They're a good team, but not better than any other team in the NL East. |

| Mets are 6 out of 7 and 8 out of 11. Offense finally starting to look alive. Beltran showing he's healthy again. Way above average defense in the OF. Wright has hit in 11 straight. Piazza has 3 HRs in 7 games since the AS break. Getting a curtain call after every HR he gets. Things are looking up. Even if they finish 3rd, the Mets improved a lot this year. Could be the begining of something sweet in Flushing, Queens. |
