Mets Quietly Dominating Competition

Has anyone noticed that the Mets have been just dominating their competition? First the World Champion Cardinals in St. Louis, and last night, the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta. In their first 4 games, the Mets have outscored their opponents 30-3, so they aren’t just crushing the ball, they’re pitching the hell out of it.
It’s astonishing.
I know it’s only the start of the season, but I can’t imagine anyone would’ve thought they’d come into the season and have everything clicking, particularly after the mediocre spring they had, but man, they’re just rocking it right now. Even guys like John Maine and Oliver Perez (AP photo above) who were supposed to be question marks in a shaky rotation have dominated the league allowing a combined run (that’s right, one run) in two combined starts.
Wow.
As of right now, there are only two undefeated teams in baseball; the Twins and the Mets. I never expected each team to have a loss by now, either. What a season this is going to be.
