I'll add the requisite recap graphics and tables in a few hours, but use this to chat about the Mets taking sole possession of first place in the NL East for the first time since forever.
Quick notes:
- Oliver Perez: back on track?
- Carlos Delgado: any chance the Mets pick up his option instead of giving untold sums to Dunn or Teixeira?
- Jamie Moyer: what the hell?
- Jimmy Rollins: suck it, biotch?
