The Mets may fail to win penants (don't tell this to Whitey Herzog)
but they certainly don't fail to win ball games. I'm not big on remembering
satisticts, but haven't the Mets won more games in the last two years
than any other club in the Major Leagues ?

It's true pitching isn't everything, and I don't expect fans to be unbiased,
but you have got to admit the Mets starting pitchers are rather formidable.
(If only I could say the same about the relievers.)
