Well, look. Nobody's talking anymore about the Yankees breaking the Mariners' 116 regular season wins record. And, if they had to play the Astr*s all year, they'd probably end up below .500. They are fortunate not to have a team like the Braves behind them.
It's the long run that counts, as experienced fans (who are immune to media hype) know. The Mets seem to have what it takes to have a run at the title this year, with the possible exception of their bullpen. You have to say, after so many seasons of futility, it is a pleasure to see them as relevant in late July, not to mention the second best record in the NL.
