As I look at my calendar I see that we are approaching mid May. At this point in Both the Yankees and Mets Season its fair to say that they both have their share of problems. The Yankees Problems have been mainly the injury bug . But you have to expect that out of an older team. The Mets Problem has just been the excessive use of their bullpen. While the Yanks have been hovering around the .500 mark and the Mets have been a few games over. You will have a hard time arguing with me if I said that Both NY teams will be right in the thick of things once September rolls around.
The Mets are currently in 2nd place in the NL East to the Florida Marlins who are currently surging with their core of young guys with an astounding 23 and 14 record.
The Yankees are currently tied in third place with the O's, 4 games behind the Bosox but the real shocker is that the Rays are right there with a 21 and 16 record.
I will ask you this. Are the teams from the Sunshine State for real???
In my opinion , the Rays are legit. With a solid young core of young pitching with Kazmir Shields and Garza with the veteran bullpen help that Dan Wheeler and Troy Percival bring to the table along with this dynamic group of young talented position players throughout the line up there is no reason to believe they aren't for real. The only way the Rays wont be there at the end of the day is if they get the "Dee
r in headlight syndrome".
If not this year then for sure sometime in the near future. Beware AL East . Its not only the Yankees and Red Sox anymore.
As for the Fish , I dont think they can keep it up. But A five hundred finish isn't out of the question.
