I'm a Mets fan and I think it's not even close. The simple fact that none of the relievers outside of specialists Joe Smith and Pedro Feliciano have defined roles speaks volumes. Last week the Mets had their closer (for the moment) on the mound (Luis Ayala) and two guys up in the bullpen as a safety net. The Phillies on the other hand have been solid except for the last two weeks. Romero is one of the better set up guys in the league and few middle relievers have better stuff than Chad Durbin.
