The New York Mets are hoping this year will end differently than the past fourteen. After all, the Atlanta Braves have won the NL East title each year since 1992. With the new additions of Carlos Delgado, Paul Lo Duca, and Billy Wagner, the Mets are off to their best start in franchise history. They know it’s the Braves’ division until someone proves they can knock them off but are more than ready for the challenge.
“The important thing isn’t what we think about them, it’s what they think about us. It used to be if we beat them, they’d think, ‘No problem, we’ll get ’em tomorrow.’ Now we want them to think, ‘oh [expletive], we’re in trouble,'” said Cliff Floyd.
