The Mets lost two games in a row to the lowly Marlins, and fans are panicking. But there is no reason for it.
Well, maybe there is.
We have been through this before, so we are conditioned to think the worst. But this is not the same team as 2007 and 2008. The pitching is far superior and will eventually lead the Mets to the NL East crown.
The Mets have a seven and a half game lead with 16 games to go (17 for the Nationals).
