A couple of links to savor

Balance of Power Shifts to Flushing

New York a 1-team Town

You have to particularly enjoy the end of Wallace Matthews story in Newsday:

This year, Shea Stadium was what Yankee Stadium used to be, before too much success brought a sense of arrogance and entitlement to increasingly jaded fans. Mets games were festive and fun, and the stories coming out of Shea were mostly uplifting - the emergence of Reyes and Wright, the return to New York of El Duque, the huge contributions made by "little guys" such as Endy Chavez and Jose Valentin.

The Mets have been as bracing as a ride on the Coney Island Cyclone.

Said a decidedly gleeful Valentin: "Who's the better team in New York now?"
