Mets top NL yet again...This never gets old

John Donovan at SI.com gives the power ranking for the MLB and the Mets come in at number four and at the top of the NL:

It takes a lot to out-Yankee the Yanks, but after two big signings last week (Jose Reyes and David Wright) and a juicy back-page gambling and teenage sex-kitten scandal (oh, Paul Lo Duca), the Mets are the talk of the town. Remember when a juicy Mets story was questioning Mike Piazza's sexuality? Welcome to the new Queens Zoo.

Just for kicks, the closest NL team is the Cardinals at number eight and the closest NL East team is the Phillies at number seventeen.
