So I think it'll be very special to think about them, their accomplishments, what they contributed for this organization and for this region of the country, I'd say on top of that.

So I'm excited for that and I know it's going to be emotional.

The team that stands out to me is the Phillies because, I mean, that's still the team to beat in this division, if you ask me.

They've won it the last two years.

They've done it before.

They have the offense to get as hot as anybody.

They have the pitching to accompany that.

It's a solid bullpen as well.

And sometimes you just need a different voice.

And while Rob Thompson accomplished a lot of things in Philadelphia, maybe Don Mattingly gets the most out of this year's club.

So that's the team to me in the rearview mirror that I'd keep the eye on more than anything.

I think what the Marlins and the Nationals have done is great, but I think when you get into July and August and September and injuries start to mount, I don't know that they have the depth to keep up.

The Mets have absolutely buried themselves.

I mean, that's the extraordinary thing.

It's one thing to get off to a slow start, but the Mets, it's like they're still in the starting blocks.

And it just seems like, and we haven't seen them yet, but it just, from where I sit, it seems like a team that just doesn't have any kind of chemistry, no cohesion, and it just hasn't started at all for them.

So I'd say the Phillies.

The Phillies are the team to me that I think are a very complete team just because they've done it before.

And you're right.

I think the Braves did a nice job head-to-head.
