'10 Mets Sep-Oct Schedule: Advantage Mets

Interesting.  The Mets play 17 of their last 22 games at home.  That doesn't mean much right now, but in a fight for a playoff spot it may be a huge factor.  As a comparison the Phillies play 9 of their last 22 at home, the Braves 12 of 22, and the Marlins 12 of 22.  I won't even bother with the Nats.  The Mets have a +8 advantage over the Phillies during this period, and +5 over the Braves and Marlins.  It may not come down to final part of the schedule, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

I remember looking at the '07 Schedule

and thinking we had it made. Lets’ worry about putting together a good team between now and March, and then we can start talking about the schedule

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
