The Mets are not as good as the Red Sox.

Whhooa! I am bit surprised this came out. I am not sure if I agree or disagree. If both teams play their absolute best ball and Red Sox get home field advantage then I'd say yes, huge advantage Red Sox. But man its close.

I have to agree with you that the White Sox are the best team in baseball, then comes the Mets and Red Sox. Then the Tigers. After that its a matter of who gets hot at the right time. But I think the best 4 teams are the ones I mentioned.

The Red Sox have a slight edge in pitching over the Mets, starting and relief. Wagner is just not what he should be. The Mets are also really young. The Mets have a huge advantage though over the AL teams in that the AL playoffs are going to be really difficult. The NL is terrible.

The Mets cant stagger into the playoffs though. Its not like they are that superior where they can steamroll a team like the Cardinals or even the Astros, both of which always play their best baseball in August and September. I think they are the best team in the NL, but if a team like Cards or Astros correct their problems, they are no pushovers for the Mets, who like you said are very young and have no playoff experience.

This isn't the year the Mets win it all. Next year is. They are still too young. Pelfrey will be the #1 next year and they will ride him all the way.

Ok, maybe this is their year. We will see.
