first we don't make the playoffs. now you concede to us making the playoffs and losing the first round... so once we win the first round... i guess... " 2nd round exit, here they come..." ??...
It's a totally different stage in October.
It's an unproven staff other than Rivera. Mussina is always hit or miss in the playoffs. He'll pitch a solid game then suck. Wang? What has he done on the big stage? Question mark. Wright? He's crap. Lidle? Crap. Johnson? Over-the-hill.
Their offense is also mostly power hitters. No such thing as small ball in Yankee stadium. The Mets have all the tools in their lineup. And they have a proven starter in Pedro. But from there who knows. The bullpen is solid, but with Wagner never having 1-2-3 innings, I don't see definitive playoff success for the Mets either.
hey, RJ is coming around now
Cmon, he's 42. He's not durable anymore.
