I’ve been keeping my eyes wide open and I’ve been spending a great deal of time reading baseball predictions everywhere I go. But all Mets fans know that when Steve Phillips says that the Mets will have the best overall record in the National League, you know we’re sitting pretty!

After years and years of dogging the Mets, you know it had to be killing our old GM to say such glowing remarks about his former team.

Check out the ESPN video right here.

He’s not the only one riding that Mets bandwagon either. Plenty of analysts from around the sports blogosphere have the Mets running away with the division including this prediction from Trev Alberts at MLB.com that made me feel so giddy. (I’m not really feeling giddy and I don’t even know what that word means)

Not only does Alberts go on a limb and predict the Mets will face the Yankees in another Subway Series…

He goes on to say that Johan Santana will pitch the Mets’ first ever no-hitter by the All Star break! (By the way, he is now my favorite sports analyst of all time)

You gotta hear it to believe it!  Mets will go all the way!

Now here is tonight’s Mets Merized Question…

Do you believe that Johan Santana will pitch a no-hitter for the Mets in 2008?
