league relievers on the mets farm do not seem as formidable. Again, its
the pitching, and i am quite worried about our rotation that may lack
dominant young arms like floridas rotation last year.



The Florida team that had the same record as the Mets, with arguably a better team.

Of course, it was Delgado and Sloane making muich of that argument...

Being fair about it, Delgado was right, last year, about which team was (supposedly) better. Floyd hadn't played a whole year. Reyes was always injured. Wright was still unproven. Piazza was in major decline. Glavine sucked. Zambrano and Benson didn't instill confidence. The bullpen was a mess. There was no RF'er. Rookie manager. Compare that to what the Marlins had, going into 2005, and you would have to agree that the Marlins were a better bet to make the post season.

True enough. But I confess it was kinda fun seeing him proven wrong.
