I am a met fan but to be honest why even debate the nl east. The division winner is rarely much better than a 500 ball club. The braves are the only team that has what it takes to build a dynasty. Anyone traded to the mets will start to suck the moment they get on the field. If they have a shot at the wild card they are almost guarenteed to come up 1 game short due to a loss to the phillies who never have a shot in hell of winning.
The nats either blow everyone out of the water or its the same win place show it has always been, braves, mets followed by the only macot who is actually a horse, the phillies.
