I'm predicting a fourth place finish in the NL East. Pitching was not improved and Harvey is out for the year. Good news is that the outfield is very much improved and Legares gained a year of experience at the big league level. SS and 1B are still glaring issues. Will Tejada/Ike/Duda bounce back from invisible years and contribute anything this year??

I love my Mets, but there are way too many uncertainties to think anything better than a 4th place finish. Now, if everyone has a career year, or performs way above expectations...then a 90 win season may be attainable...but I still feel we are two years away from that happening in Flushing.

Either way...I'm gonna be rooting for them.

Speaking of flushing....here's to the Mets....flushing right down the toilet!

Now, now, now Keith...don't get me started about the Philladelphia Follies!! Does Howard prove he can stay heathy? Does Ruiz prove he can produce without 'roids? Which pitcher retires before the season is over this year? How's that "rookie" manager working out for ya this year?

I believe we placed 3rd in the NL East last year...what about your boys?
