Really? Come on. If this is a surprise then the last few years must be a bit fuzzy to the memory. What has become an annual drama-filled, slug-fest between the New York Mets and bitter rival Philadelphia Phillies has come to fruition once again this season as the two teams remain inseparable atop the National League East. As of the morning of June 1, the Mets are just a half game behind the Phils for the division lead. It is beginning to look like a two team race for the Eastern pennant in the Senior Circuit as the Braves and Marlins have fallen off pace at 4 GB and 6.5 GB respectively.
After a disappointing 9-12 April to start the season, the Mets reeled off eight wins out of their first nine games to start the month of May. They also ended the month winning seven out of the nine games to end the month with a mark of 19-9. They survived a grueling 10-game road trip at 5-5 which was highlighted by taking two out of three games at Fenway Park from the Red Sox.
