Far more credit will go to Jerry Manuel than he actually deserves, but, whatever the spark, the New York Mets are charging hard. The Amazins have won eight straight games and set a modern-day record by allowing three or fewer hits in each of their last five victories. New York was the pick of many prognosticators to be the class of the National League, and while that has not come to pass - at least not yet - they sit only a half-game out of first place in the NL East. It just may be that the Mets rule the roost in the senior circuit before the season is over.
