After 92 games.

51-41 Thats the record as of 7/16/2007. Playing at a .554 clip which averages out to about 90 wins which would mean going 39 and 31 the rest of the way.

Right now the Braves are 50 and 43, 1 and a half games in back with a .538 pace, and they've played one more game than us so far this season. The current Brave emlination number...well it has an extremly happy historical connotation for Met fans and I'll leave it at that.

Interestingly enough for as much of a malaise the Met offense has been in all year, they are just 5 games off of last season's pace as they were 55-37.

You don't have to be a Mets fan to like the number 69.

That's "Beef with Broccoli," right?

Hehehehe!

Nah I just didn't want to be accused of tempting fate with a 1 and a half game lead.

[Benjamin Grimm]

There's no such thing as fate.

The Mets magic number is 69.

Stating the magic number won't lead to losing the division.

Delgado and Beltran continuing to suck will lead to losing the division.

Rogers is licking his chops for the Yanks to keep winning and the Mets
fall out of first this week (as is ira, welcome back) I just know it.

If there was a week for the blue and orange to fall out of first, this is the
week, so keep your chins up guys.
