“The team to beat in my eyes is the team that won last year.
Philadelphia took care of us last year. They took care of business in
the division. Going into this year, we have to take control again of
the NL East…It’s not about making bold predictions. This year, we have
to take [the title] away from Philadelphia.”
- David Wright, Mets third baseman [via]
You can't knock Wright for saying the right thing. He is, afterall, right. The Phillies are the reigning NL East Champs. With their acquisition of Johan Santana, the Mets may be the favorite to take the division in '08 but it certainly goes through Philadelphia.
