they'd be Runaway east champs, instead of just leading by a couple games.
IMHO, since they have better pitching than the phillies they're the favorites. but I just can't see them going deep into the playoffs with that crew.

Oh that's right it was 3 and out last year.
What pitching do they have?

lessie. perfect closer so far this year and arguably the best bullpen in the NL?
their problem is they dont have a really really good number 2 starter to throw in a playoff series.
both teams are flawed, the mets IMHO less so, even tho I root for the phils. it just shocks me the mets dont have a SINGLE guy they can rely on.
The Mets staff will be just fine, bullpen by committee has worked before.
They just picked up a guy too who may do better with a change in scenery.
The starting staff when healthy goes 4 or 5 deep.

I agree, but at this late date.. they're not going to be healthy for the rest of the season.
It's going to be HUGE how pelfry does down the stretch considering Maine doesn't look at all good and admits he's going to have to pitch through pain from here on out.
Pelfry/Perez/Santana is probably as strong as anyone in the NL. If wagner is gone for the year, they'll be very vulnerable to a patient squad.
Phils'd throw
Hammy/and any of their other #4 starters. Meyers has upside but I dont think you can have confidence at this point in him.
Meh.

The Tigers are something like 5 for 25 in save opportunities when Todd Jones doesn't take the bump. If the Cardinals are worse than this I do indeed pity their fans.
