The first of four steps has been completed: The Mets are the champions of the National League Eastern Division.
The Braves, who won 14 division titles from 1990 through last year (none awarded in 1994; they were behind the Expos when the strike killed the season), deserve to be recognized for being great champions for all those years -- including the ones in which they played in the NL West.
What's next? Too soon to say, but I think the Mets have a lot of flying in their future. The Wild Card will not likely come from the West (either the Dodgers or the Padres, though the Giants still have a shot); I don't expect the Reds to come back. And if the Phillies or even the Marlins went on a late-season tear, the Mets would still be flying, as they can't compete against their own division in the first round.
Bring on the challengers!
Lets go Mets!
