You're just saying that because the Mets are ranked second.

The Mets wouldn't be ranked second if they weren't 10-2.

Bradley-Terry, anyone?

I know Ken has applied it to assorted European soccer leagues.

Ha, Mets 3rd. Yankees 3rd from last.

Yeah, yeah, I know, it won't last. That's why I gotta enjoy it while I can :-D

Actually, when I posted it, the Mets were 3 games ahead in their division but ranked something like 12th because they had played nobody but Washington and Florida.

No argument from me, man. I'm all for no divisions -- just two league champions play the WS as God and Barney Dreyfuss intended.

Conservativism in civil society; progressivism in politics -- the unbeatable combination.
