Dukes & Bell welcomed WFAN Host Sal Licata to the show on Tuesday to discuss the state of the Mets and the NL East. Licata became known to Atlanta after his blunder last season during which he prematurely declared ‘The NL East is over’. He returned to Atlanta, this time to declare the division is once again over, but this time in favor of the Braves.
Licata acknowledges that the Mets are the far inferior team through the first chunk of the season and appear to be lacking in both the quality hitting and pitching needed to win the division.
The Braves made an epic comeback last season to overtake the Mets, but it does not appear New York is equipped to make that sort of comeback.
