December 13, 200817 yr http://www.comcast.net/articles/sports-gen...213/Mets-K-Rod/ I dont know how many of you have been paying attention to some of the stuff being said but i find it interesting the phils and mets keep doing this every year and that the mest even have the nerve to say they are the team to beat again. I wish i could find the article of hamals calling the mets choke artists and reyes a show boat. In a way i want Hanley to say something but it be sweeter to surprise every one.
December 13, 200817 yr This is a great idea since it totally worked for Carlos Beltran last year :thumbup
December 13, 200817 yr The Phillies are the defending champs and so are the team to beat in the entire league, never mind just the NL East
December 13, 200817 yr Who the f*** are the Mets? a baseball team from Queens, New York :mischief a bunch of queens from New York fixed
December 14, 200817 yr Who the f*** are the Mets? a baseball team from Queens, New York :mischief a bunch of queens from New York fixed I LOL'ed It looks like they NL East and the AL East are gonna be the best divisons with the Muts Fillies and Fish in the NL battling it out and the Bankees Bo Soxs and Devil Gays in the AL

December 14, 200817 yr The H*** w/ all of these predictions. Every year we have a so called "team to beat" and every year they fall flat on their faces. Look at last year's Detroit predictions. And even better, the Yankees have bought that term year after year yet continue to be able to win it. Performance and injuries will tell the tale. I like our team and I like our chances. :hat

December 16, 200817 yr The mets even after Putz, have alot of work to do. Team to beat? They replaced Wagner, and now have a set-up man. Their rotation is a mess and the lineup isnt enough to make a big push alone, as of now in the winter.
December 17, 200817 yr I think the Marlins are the team to beat. NO, the PHILLIES are the team to beat. Simple...they are the defending champs. They've EARNED that title, and will have it, till someone takes it away from them.
December 17, 200817 yr Even with all these acquisitions I still don't expect an NL East title for the Mets, there bats as well as their bullpen betrayed them down the stretch the last few years. Also, Minaya is building the World's Most Latin Team.
December 17, 200817 yr I think the Marlins are the team to beat. NO, the PHILLIES are the team to beat. Simple...they are the defending champs. They've EARNED that title, and will have it, till someone takes it away from them. Yes, they won the world series. But, IMO, we have better pitching and our offense is just as good. And our pitching matches up with any other pitching staff in the NL east. That, imo, is what makes us the team to beat.

Nobody thinks that way, though (btw, the "we have the best pitching" theory is debatable). "The team to beat" should be the team that's EARNED that title. The Phillies won it all last year, and are coming back with A LOT of the same players. They've EARNED the title of "team to beat." At the end of the day, it's irrelevant...b/c the games are played on the field. However, if any team has the right to say "we're the team to beat" it should be the defending champions.

However, if any team has the right to say "we're the team to beat" it should be the defending champions. i know they won the title and should have the right to say they're the team to beat. BUT, right now, IMO, we have the better team on paper. We have, IMO, better pitching which will lead to wins. Basically, i think we're the favorites because we're the better team on paper, IMO. But you're right, the games are played on the field. So we have to wait till next September.
December 17, 200817 yr We are doomed. I missed you guys. :thumbup There's a certain sig waiting for you Starbrownies!
