Still in first place

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

The only standings that count are the ones on the last day of the season -- as we know all too well from 2007 and 2008. But we've been in first place now for about a month. And each day we're in first place, is, well, another day we're in first place and another day in contention.

Is this the longest stretch that the Mets have been in first place since those start-crossed seasons?

Without looking it up, I'd say yes, and that it's not even close.
