Cyclonus X-1 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm a Phillies fan, but I'd like to see New York become relevant again if only because the NL East race tends to be a lot of fun when the Phils-Mets rivalry is in full swing. With the Mets going through tough times, the Phils' lineup getting kinda long in the tooth, and the Marlins and Nationals apparently improving, it doesn't seem likely that it'll be Philly and NY battling it out for the division--but we'll see!

Echoes Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) I find it funny how the Mets are all in "I think we can surprise people this year" mode again. I recall hearing that before..... Also, Jason Bay's reportedly going to be back to his old ways with his more natural, open stance. That also sounds familiar...... Ah well. At least we can enjoy G-K-R.

Who will the Mets be battling with??? My guess is Washington The Nats might deserve to finish last with some of the missteps they've made. I liked Jayson Werth when he was in Philly, and I think he'll play some good ball for Washington, but the contract they gave him was ridiculous. They're an interesting (if largely unproven) club, however. Everyone seems to be really high on their starting pitching. Clippard and Storen are good guys to have in the pen. Espinosa seems to have decent potential, and I've always liked Zimmerman. And Davey Johnson, in my opinion, is actually a pretty good manager. I think they're still too young and raw to make a real run at the division title, but they're one of those "wouldn't surprise me to see them finish anywhere from second to last" sort of clubs. I should probably say something about New York since this is a Mets topic. I hope David Wright returns to form this season. I hate the team, but Wright is one Met I have a lot of respect for. He was a heck of a player for quite some time. Sadly, it seems he's already having injury issues this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall hearing that before..... What else are they going to say? "We suck, don't even bother watching." I don't expect much. I just hope for a few bright spots for the future. Player development is the theme for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
