They shouldn't be in the top ten. Every year we get told how good they are and that they are up in the power rankings and they do nothing by the end of the season. Remember when every baseball writer in town gave the Mets 0 chance to beat them in the play offs in 06? How did that turn out baseball analysts and journalists? The Dodgers?

Their biggest question was if Pedro could return to his pre-injury form........ah.....I thought he already put that to rest I see that the MLB power rankings are out and have the Mets at

Pedro dominated like no one before him. Pedro had the greatest 3-5 year run in the history of the game and it came at a time when offense was having its greatest run in the history of the game.

I love this part: "And all I could take was two Aleves or two Advil, a cup of coffee, a little mangu and an egg, and go out there and let it go and face everybody that’s out there. And you know what? That’s the era I dominated.” HE KNOWS HE DOMINATED, I LOVE IT! I actually have to give Mike and the Mad Dog credit on this one. They were doing a comparison of the great pitchers of the past 20 or so years and they compared Maddux, Pedro, and Clemens. Even they admitted that Maddux and Pedro DOMINATED way more than Clemens. Take a look at the numbers, they are very interesting. That is seriously one of the best quotes ever. I love this part:

The tease of seeing about 3 minutes total worth of footage from spring training, hearing Pedro speak, hearing Maine talk about his focus, and watching Johan throw from a mound have my confidence (or maybe it's my excitement) level waaaaaaay up.

Actually, they're both pretty good, especially mofongo. I think I'll find some for lunch. I would assume that Mangu or Mofongo isn’t made the same in the Carolinas.
