I know the Mets are in 60-67 and in danger of slipping into last place, but this doesn't fully explain the victorious Mets season.
It's math, folks.
The Mets started the season 5-13 (.278), which is bad.
The Mets have only won 5 of their last 21 games (5-16, .238), which is also bad.
It's a combined 10-29, which is a .256 winning percentage for approximately 1/4 of the season.
But this ignores the games in between. The gritty games which will win the MVP for Jose Reyes and the Manager of the Year for Terry Collins.
The Mets were an unbelievable 50-38 in the rest of the games. Probably the best 88-game stretch in baseball history.
So if you just ignore the beginning of the season and the end of the season, the Mets are Amazin'.
