Each day that passes without a victory, the Mets leave the door open a crack for the Yankees to possibly beat them in the sprint to clinching the division title. Heading into Monday's games, the Yankees' Magic Number stood at 4, which gives the Mets a little leeway, and manager Willie Randolph said he wasn't worried about having the crosstown rivals clinch first.
"They're going to get there also," Randolph said. "Not that it's a race. It doesn't matter who gets it done first. Once you get there, we've still got a lot of baseball left to play."
But does it matter to Mets fans? Do those bragging rights mean anything at this point, if only to kick off the trash talking before a possible Subway Series next month?

The New York Post is reporting that both The Mets and The Yankees will have no interest in signing Barry Zito during the offseason.....
HA ! What a complete rag that newspaper is. They make the Newsday weekend paper look like the Rosetta Stone. The friggin Rosetta Stone.
It is so bad to have a journalistic presentation,the Post, mocked and ridiculed as being trash. So I like Newsday better than a cat pan liner like the Post.

Of course clinching first means something. I bet my brother and two coworkers $20 each that the Mets would finish with a better record. I'm still hoping to collect.
YEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!! We will go all the way. It has been a very long time. I live in Florida, and have had to deal with the Braves for long time, too long. Well that's over now... All the way in 2006
Does it matter? Hell yeah it matters. We finally beat to the back page.Bask in glory now.Because those damn Yanks will be first to the back page in the morning.
