Fri, 14 Sep 2007 22:40:35 +0000 http://mets.lohudblogs.com/2007/09/14/back-to-work/#comment-21970 I'd be worried a lot more about the Padres in a playoff than the Phillies. The Phillies got a lot of guys who can hit 800 home runs a week in Citizen's Bandbox and little else. The Padres if they have four starters all bring their A-game four nights in a row... they win, you lose. I’d be worried a lot more about the Padres in a playoff than the Phillies.

I think the NL is pretty much on equal ground due to the questionable Met bullpen. That is the major difference between this year and last.

The Padres? The Phillies? Those are not teams to be scared of. But of course the Phillies aren't going to make the playoffs, I have a hard to believing/seeing them there, they're just not good enough... As for the Padres, the Mets have been able to get through to Peavy and Chris Young. And then thier offense? Pretty bad. The Mets have the most complete team in the NL and besides the Padres could only have Peavy pitch so many times and on short rest? He's not very good. the rest of the Padres rotation is Chris Young, Greg Maddux, and Justin Germano. It's not the 90's anymore and Maddux can and has been beaten. And Justin Germano just isn't any good. Stop being soo pessimistic! Heck, it might even be time to get realistic here. There's nothing wrong with believing the Mets are the best team in the NL and having confidense in them winning. Remember last year when for WHATEVER reason, people thought the Mets could/would be beaten by the Dodgers? C'mon now... you guys are nervous wrecks.

That doesn't scare me as much as Peavy and Young in the 1st round. Yeah, if the Phils make it we would probably play the winner of the week NL Central.

I agree we want to be on the only team from the NL East in the playoffs. I watched some of the Phillies/Rockies game yesterday and when the opened the only stat they showed was for the wildcard...so I wonder if they have given up on catching the Mets for the NL East crown? Though their TV crew highlighted the obvious wildcard race, until the Mets get that champagne bath, nothing is over yet. Yuma is a remake….
