Usually it's the Yankees, but now their cross-town rivals are taking the same deep-pockets approach. There is no foretelling whether the team will develop chemistry. Slumps happen. Injuries occur. I wouldn't shed any tears if a combination of those things prevent the Mets from capturing a coveted World Series.
