Just wonderful

Story set the Major League record for home runs in a team's first six games of a season, ahead of Larry Walker (6, 1997), Mike Schmidt (6, 1976) and Willie Mays (6, 1964), according to Elias Sports Bureau research.

Why do you have to spin it like that? The title should be "Phills take 2 of 3 from Mets, continue march to division title"

The Mets offense is coming out of the gates looking a lot like their offense Pre-Cespedes last year

Im sure they will be fine, but the Cubs and Giants are absolutely legit, and the Nats may play pretty pissed off this season

They may be in a bit of trouble if they don't get off to a good start with this soft schedule they have this month. They play Miami 3X, Cleveland 3X, Philly 3X, ATL 3X, and Cincy 3X.

The Cards look serious too, braves could of played them 20 times and lost all 20 games...EASY. Garcia and Martinez will carry that rotation again

If the Mets encounter any kind of competition in the NL East this year, their fans are in for a bowl of reality puffs.

Wainwright might not be the same guy anymore, though, and there are some defensive issues.

Its early so its too hard to tell on this stuff.

True, but thats only coming from the Nats, who Im not really in love with

The Marlins are the same team every year

And the Phillies and Braves, jesus, I wish the Yankees were in that division

At the risk of sounding like a homer, I don't think it's fair to group the Indians with the Marlins, Phils, Braves and Reds. Those four were quite possibly the four worst teams in baseball last year, combining for a 265-383 record. I'm not saying the Indians are contenders or anything, but they did have one of the top pitching staffs in baseball last year and most believe their offense should be better this year than last.

MLB version of the Rams? Seems about right

I agree, and the contender potential is always there with the Indians with that starting staff and closer

Totally agree there. Honestly, I don't think the Mets were much better than the Indians last year, they just played in a complete cake division.

Yup, good comp

Everyones' "Darling" preseason pick every year, and basically the same around .500 team
