Yes, its way to premature to say this. But if the season ended today the Mets would win the National League East title. Even though they have the same record as the Phillies, they have a better head-to-head record, after tonight's decisive 7-1 victory at Citizen's Bank Park.

The game was a big win as the Mets are looking to build on the momentum of their series win in Miami. After looking lethargic against the Marlins in the season opener the met bats have been awakened, particularly David Wright who is batting .413 on the young season. But tonight was a night to celebrate Chris Young, he pitched great and had two hits in one inning. That is crazy. I don;t expect him to rake like he did in Philly but he can have a good year for the Mets is he stays healthy and remains consistent on the mound.

The series was set up favorably for the Mets. facing Hamels in game one, he came in with a 2-8 record against the Mets, then we have our ace Mike Pelfrey taking on their number 5 guy Joe Blanton in game two, and yes get a way day doesn't look to good as the Mets and Jon Niese have to take on Doc Holladay. But he was pretty roughed up on Opening Day, so he can be hit.

Wait Reyes got a hit and scored a run? And the Mets won?  Do I see a trend continuing?
