I think that, so long as they keep having fun, they will keep winning. That is the key, I think, to this years Mets. If you watch them play, they're always smiling & laughing. Even Milledges home run celebration; even if many think it was excessive, HE was having the time of his life. They came together as a team, there are no prima donnas,  They want to win, not because of the ring or the World Series bonus, but because winning is more fun than losing.\n\nThey are remembering (and hopefully reminding everyone else) that baseball is a game, not  just big business. So long as their health stays good, and their rotation continues to produce, they're going all the way.

Pitching is the only thing we really need,I hope they made a really good bid on this Matsuzaka!! I heard Andy Pettite Had dinner with Joe Torre Last night,And i read in todays paper,he said if he pitches next yr he wants to come back to the yankees,Roger Clemens if he plays next yr,WILL FINISH HIS CAREER IN BOSTON!! From what i read in todays paper If we don't get Matsuzaka,We'll go after Zito,And i belive Pettite is going to come back.Don't forget we have this Kid Phil Huges,Whos also going to be a GREAT PITCHER! And We'll get something for Sheffield\n4 clubs called about him,But Cashman wants to trade him to an NL Team,,Because he's pissed,and he can hurt us in the long run if we trade him to an AL Team,

My husband is a big Mets fan, I'm Yankees, but like the Mets, too. They're hot, hot, hot like you say. I think they could go all the way this year, for sure!!\n\nP.S. To "Jumpin-whatever"... Reading and watching sports are all part of a well rounded life. Baseball gave me a much better understanding of statistics & how they work than I ever got from the course in college. Broaden your horizons, you can learn things in places other than books.

They will replay this game in the form of a doubleheader next time the teams play at Yankee Stadium. I haven't looked at the schedule, it could be tomorrow it could be August.

THEY WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BUT THEY WON WIN IT ALL.  THE BRAVES WILL NOT WIN THE DIVISION FOR THE 15TH TIME...I THINK THE METS HAVE TO MANY BULLPEN AND STARTER PROBLEMS.

Mets are the best team in the national league, so i feel like they will win the NL, but I don't think anybody will be able to beat either the White Sox or the Tigers, those 2 teams are excellent all around.  Mets could shock them i suppose, but i would still favor the white sox or tigers over them.

Oswalt and Pettite will decide your team's fate. Lance Berkman must stay healthy. Can Biggio stay in top of his game?  Bagwell should say goodbye and thanks for the memories.  Arnsberg, Taveras, and Lane will need to exceed\nlast year production.  St Louis, and Chicago reloaded  in NL Central.  Preston Wilson is a short term answer to your team's needs.

Sure ... how about we discuss the upcoming season, the pennant races, the hopes we all have that this is the year for our favorite team to win it all. Let's keep things positive around here for a change.

I think it can certainly be a good thing... fans located in areas with teams in both leagues get to see these teams play each other in meaningful games.\n\nGrowing up as a Met fan, every year they would play the Yankees in the "Mayors Trophy" game...just one game out of the season...but the regulars wouldn't play that much... We wanted to see Tom Seaver go out there and blow the Yankees away, but of course, the Mets weren't going to waste a pitching turn by Tom Seaver to win such a 'meaningless' game.\n\nAt first, I was against interleague play, but it didn't take long for me to change my mind...\n\nPlayers used to play for one team, or in one league, their whole career... or at least for many years at a time. Players because identified as an "American Leaguer" or a "National Leaguer". The only time they would ever meet (except the World Series) was in the All Star game... and at that time, there was a genuine rivalry between the NL and the AL.  Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Johnny Bench, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Tom Seaver, Bob Gibson, Fergie Jenkins, Ozzie Smith, Pete Rose... these guys were all "National Leaguers".\n\nBrooks Robinson, Carl Yastrzemski, Frank Howard, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar, Vida Blue, Reggie Jackson...these guys were all "American Leaguers" (even though Frank Robinson came up with the Reds). \n\nIn NJ, where I grew up, we got to watch Met and Yankee games, so we got to see players from both leagues... there was also a Saturday afternoon "Game of the Week" on NBC, in addition to "Monday night baseball", also on NBC. (No cable at that time)\n\nWhen you're used to identifying players with a particular league, you don't like to see the leagues play each other, besides the W.Series and A.S. Game.\n\nBut today, the way players (even great ones) switch teams and leagues, it really doesn't matter...there's really no division of players the way there used to be... \n\nso yeah, I think Interleague play is good for baseball... \nin spite of the fact that the majority of 'inter league' matchups are pretty lame.\n\nthere aren't any such things as "National Leaguers" and "American Leaguers" any more... Randy Johnson has been a star for Seattle and Arizona... is he an A-Leaguer or a N-Leaguer? There are plenty of other examples of future Hall of Famers who split their careers between the two leagues.\n\nThe last real "American Leaguer" was Cal Ripken, Jr.\n\nAssuming he doesn't go to the A.L to DH (I doubt he will), Barry Bonds might be the last of the "National Leaguers".\n\nI'm not counting on Pujols to spend his whole career in St. Louis, as great as he is.

I'm a Mets fan, and being from NY all I hear is that the odds makers pick the Yankees EVERY year. Nothing new there. In the AL the Chisox could do it again. In the NL, who knows? My Mets are bound to improve (they can only go up!), so let's just watch and see. Play Ball!!

My prediction...Mets vs White Sox; Mets in 6

LET'S GO RED SOX!!!\n\nP.S. to the ignorant Yankee fans, I have a few points to settle.\n\n1) " Who's your papi? "  I believe that was fully answered in 2004.\n2)  The last time I checked, the Yuckees were 2.5 games out of 1st place behind... ah yes, THE RED SOX!

I am afraid they will struggle around .500 this season, falling between 3rd and 4th place unless some major roster moves are done before Feb. They are very weak at 3rd base and with their pitchers, especially starters.  No one is a true Ace, and they could very easily have two rookies in the rotation on opening day.  Meanwhile the Mets have spent like crazy and the Braves are the Braves.
