If Whining Were a Sport ...

... then the Mets would be a shoo-in for the World Series. Ken Rosenthal today shared this interesting tidbit before the start of the Mets-Braves game: The Mets thought the Phillies were using center-field cameras to steal signs in last week's sweep. They complained to Bob Watson, who discreetly attended Thursday's game and found no evidence of funny business.

That's the kind of reaction you see from a team that has allowed a rival to get between its ears. The series at Shea Stadium in two weeks will be very interesting. Even if Cole Hamels isn't able to pitch against the Mets that weekend, it's hard to imagine the Phils not holding a psychological advantage entering the series. The Mets have bounced back this weekend to bury the Braves, but they seem genuinely flummoxed by the Phils.
