"We went out there and got beat," Wright said. "It's one game."

Well, I'd like to be so optimistic and agree with you David, but unfortunately there's another 9 games of history with the Mets on the wrong end of a 3-6 record that says otherwise. At this point in the season it goes beyond "one game."

Of course, I think the Mets are the better team on paper and should be leading this series, and I still believe they will win the division. But it's just frustratingly hard to understand why a team that would be 60-42 can't beat a team that would be 53-50, excluding the 10 head-to-head matchups. The rest of the league apparently isn't having much difficulty handling them.
