We're #3! We're #3!

With their current hot streak, the Mets, winners of eight of their last 10, have leaped back into third place in the NL East (they're also third in the wild card standings, for what that's worth). And they've now won four series in a row (pretty sure that's their longest streak of the season). In fact, only the Angels have been hotter lately, winning nine of their last 10. 82 wins and third place? That's better than what I expected in '05.
