Mets leading by two runs in bottom of the 8th...but the Mets bullpen has the game in their buttery hands.

Mets' bullpen survived the bottom of the 8th - still up by 2 heading to the top of the 9th.

last year taught me better- the lead the braves opened early is the one they carried through

yea i really wouldnt mind them grabbing the NL East lead and never letting go of it. Would rather them win the division by a lot than 2 or 3 games.

we're pretty much in the same position we were last year, when we headed into Atlanta and got swept.

Watching the standings is a big part of enjoying the season as it happens, for me.

Yeah, except we've already got a win under out belt vs. them this year and we haven't been out of any game yet. Not really worried about that history repeating.

No. I don't pay that much attention.

The sweep last year was at home, including an ugly 9-0 loss. The main difference is that Atlanta got off to a 10-1 start last year, and this year they've already lost 4. We're okay if we win just 1 this series, as we'll still be in first place, but they really need to win the series to set the tone for this year.

Just in case it gets interesting but I'm having serious doubts.

Seriously, though, if it's just strictly about the standings this early, then it's just a bunch of wasted keystrokes. (Hey, the Marlins were in first place four days ago!) But I have confidence in you in that you will make it interesting by expanding it to talk about the division in general. Don't let me down.

Last year that sweep happened at home, and it started in the top of the 8th of the Friday night game.

We've already had them at home and beaten them, I think this is different. This team knows it can beat Atlanta.

Also going into that game, Atlanta was 8-1. Right now they are barely above .500.

I'll watch the standings, although it might give me an ulcer. So many seasons when the standings didn't matter except whether the Nats/Senators/Nationals finished dead last or just above last. My Dad, who watched the 1933 team and the very end of 1945, shocked me in 1961. After the first couple of months, the Expansion Senators were doing well, and he said something like, "If the pitching can hold up, we'll be in this thing". I'd never heard him talk like that. Unfortunately, the pitching did not hold up, and neither did the hitting.

I'm hoping the Nats win a couple down in Atlanta.
