Poor Mets. They just can't seem to shake the Braves.
They win the opener of a big early season series with pedro winng his 200th in the process. All of New York proceeds to hail this the year of the Mets. They say...look we are 10 and whatever and Pedro just shut down the Braves. Look out world the Mets are here!
Well the next morning Bobby Cox checked the schedule and just to be sure checked with Mr. Bud and the league offices ...it seems all the teams still had to play the rest of the season.
Low and behold the Bravo's take the next 2 games of the crucial early season series. Oh yeah, they did it without the notorious Mets slayer Chipper Jones and the off season's best aqquisition Edgar Renteria. To say nothing of their lack of closer. How can this be? They were world beaters just 24 hours ago.
I'll admit The Met's seem to make all the right moves but they just can't beat the mojo. I sensed a bit of chemistry change with the Mets this year and that may well still play out. But I'm afraid that until Mr. Cox says it time...the Mets will have to settle for 2nd.
Ha! We don't need no stinking Mets

I think there are too many teams out there with a chance to assume the Mets will win the division, or that the Braves will repeat.
Not sure if I'd consider an April series crucial, unless the Braves win the division by 1 game LOL. Braves were lucky today and the Mets weren't, so it is way too soon to decide if either team has what it takes. At least the Mets have a 3 game lead with 2 in hand. :)

Spoken(or typed) like a true second place finisher( for at least the 13th year in a row). :P
It's a sad ,sad Met's world when the only vocal supporters they have are a confused Canadian and a bone cracking Hofstra grad. :roll:

Until the Mets appreciate the value of having SOME OBA at the top of the lineup they will give away too many close games by the end of the year.
It's absolutely insane to me how a great OB guy like Willie can't remember what made him a solid player. :roll:

That's Dr. Bone Cracking Hofstra Grad to you splinter.
I have seen too many seasons of mediocrity. Frankly, I'm tired of it.
The Braves certainly have their #. It's a long season. There will be other series against them.
The Mets staff is not the greatest. I think this will be their achilles heel all season.

Hey splinter, while the Bravos may have been missing Met killer Chipper and Edgar the Mets themselves were missing Beltran and Floyd. There's still 148 games to go we'll see who's standing at the end. This is the year the Braves fall.

Who cares if the Braves win a weak division yet again.
They are sure to fold in the playoffs. They gave the chamionship of our wonderful game to CANADIANS for Pete's sake.
Overrated and underachieving.
