And how did the Mets fare in the previous four seasons? In those first 10 games each season they posted a 25-15 (.625) record (5-5 this year). They finished those four seasons a combined 357-291 (.551) - one division title, two chokes, and a third place finish. Starting off fast doesn't necessarily win the marathon of a baseball season. Just compare Ryan Howard's numbers over the course of a season with Jose Reyes' - especially the last two years.
