I guess this counts as “We’re the team to beat” Part 4.

Like the Phillies, the Mets opened Spring Training action yesterday and it didn’t take the team long to show off it’s confidence for the upcoming season. Despite a 72-90 year, David Wright believes the Mets are World Series contenders.

The following is an excerpt from a NY Post report:

“We’re expecting to go out there and win the National League East and go deep in the playoffs and win the World Series,” [...]

We are still five weeks away from Spring Training and already the New York Mets have a case of the injury blues.

On Wednesday it was reported that Carlos Beltran underwent knee surgery and will be unable to resume baseball activities for 8-12 weeks.

If the timing of the surgery strikes you as odd, it appears the Mets feel the same way. There are varying reports on whether or not the team gave Beltran permission to have the surgery and it has [...]

Has the recent weather gotten you down? If so, here is some news that always cheers up Philly fans — The Mets being the Mets.

Carlos Beltran came out in a recent interview for the NY Daily News saying that he believes a healthy Mets team can be World Series contenders.

Ok Sillies, I mean Philles we need to pick up the pieces and give it back to the Mets.  Lets forget about them scoring runs in the first because of walks and a hit batter.  Lets forget about the night before when the Phillies had a fantastic victory.  Moyer needs to steady the ship and get the Phillies back on track.
