I believe we've held first place the longest of any other teams in the division so far this season

who gives a shit? take it from a mets fan.

and we still have a good bullpen

your bullpen has been pitching way over its head.

The Mets have the worst bullpen in baseball though. Worse than the Janks even.

okay, let's not get insane here. the mets pen has been very bad for a relatively short period. and as bad as the pen has been the mets have been playing about .500 baseball over that rough patch.

As your team has the same record as my team or does your brainless sports drive cause you to see the standings incorrectly too?

Don't feel bad. The NL West is rooting for the Phillies too. After all, they saw what Colorado did to them last year.

After New York saw what the Phillies did to the Mets.

mets win this division going away. phils' staff just doesn't have the horses. honestly at this point i'm more worried about the marlins.

Phillies starters have been great. It's the offense that's shit the bed in the last 3 weeks.

Nothing? The Mets collapsed. The Phillies did nothing.

According to the NY Post the Melky Cabrera Era is over in the Bronx as the Melkman has been demoted to triple A. Richie Sexson will be waived and he's out as well. They also said the Yanks have had internal discussions regarding putting Joba back in the pen. LOL What are they doing with Joba? Who will replace him?? Ian Kennedy?? He's already in the doghouse. I guess Phil Hughes and don't forget Carl Pavano! I guess this series with the Royals is a "must sweep".

Because the Phillies kicked the shit out of them. It doesn't matter anyway though, you're intellectually incapable of talking in this manner so you'll just continue to come up with excuses to fuel your own biased views.

I'm pretty amped about the Byrd acquisition for the Sox. His post-All Star break numbers are impressive. Bonus points for having a hilarious delivery.

I remember when he apologized to Javy Lopez for hitting him earlier in a game and Lopez punched Byrd in the face.

Yanks should have given up on this season before the deadline and fattened up their farm system for a better run next year. They'd be able to let Joba and Hughes ease in as starters, trade the Melk man while he still has some value, and get rid of lots of the old dead weight to teams who want 'proven veterans(tm)'. Yanks fans know there's no hope this year, I don't think they'd have minded. Now they'll be in the same position next year.
