Wrong, Mets fans are not chickens we do not run and hide.

I will agree that you don't hide.

I agree that momentum going into the playoffs can be a double edged sword.

A team that has to fight tooth and nail to get there will more than likely stop to take a breath when they get there and it may be hard to get the competitive juices flowing again at the rate they were flowing when they were fighting.

That will be my biggest concern if the Yankees make the playoffs.

While I certainly agree that better STARTERS are on the horizon, unless they can go the distance (not likely), or the offense can build a big lead (they can) AND the pitchers can MAINTAIN said big lead (recent history says otherwise)...there is still trouble ahead in Queens.

THAT being said, the schedule ahead certainly favors them, but as they say, on any given day...

They do control their destiny, so they need to buck up and win some games now.
