Rob Neyer on ESPN.com tells Mets fans not to panic…

If you'd told me five months ago that in September the Phillies without Freddy Garcia would be threatening the Mets with Pedro Martinez,
I might have smiled condescendingly. Now? Not so much. That said, the
Mets still have the edge. Of their 29 remaining games, only nine are
against teams with winning records: three against the Phillies, six
against the Braves. And six of those games are at Shea Stadium.
Meanwhile, the Phillies have 13 games against winning teams, plus three
in St. Louis.

I'm not sure Rob understands the Mets play better on the road, despite their recent trip. I do like the fact that the Phillies have a tougher schedule.
