Not seeing any reason for Met Bragging.
They always seem to start hot and fall apart.
While for the most part, the Yanks start cold and finish strong.


Here are the Mets standings on May 8th for the last 6 years

Year ........ W - L........ GB ........ Playoffs
2007........ 20-12........ - ........ No
2008........ 17-15 ........ 2 ........ No
2009........ 15-13 ........ .5 ........ No
2010........ 17-13 ........ 1 ........ No
2011........ 15-19 ........ 4.5 ........ No
2012........ 16-13 ........ 2.5 ........ ?

And the Yanks

Year ........ W - L ........ GB ........ Playoffs
2007 ........ 15-16 ........ 6 ........ Yes
2008 ........ 18-18 ........ 4.5........ NO
2009 ........ 14-15 ........ 4.5 ........ Yes* World series win
2010 ........ 21-08 ........ .5 ........ Yes
2011 ........ 19-13 ........ - ........ Yes
2012 ........ 15-13 ........ 3.5 ........ ?

As a Yank fan, I see no reason to panic.
