Go Rays!



Go Padres!



Go... yankees



Baseball Reference says the Mets have a 1.7% chance of making the postseason. Maybe if all goes right today, we can push that number up over 2.0!

[G-Fafif]

Early in the Interleague era, I wondered how I would feel if we had a makeup game at season's end vs an AL opponent directly vying with the MFYs for the final AL Wild Card. If it didn't directly affect our own postseason chances, I would have been comfortable with the Mets forfeiting this hypothetical game just to ruin the MFYs' season.



Now, theoretically relying on the MFYs to pave our (incredibly unlikely) way into the playoffs? I don't think I have a “Go MFYs“ in me, no matter how small the type.

It's a night of rooting for other teams.

It's a rainout. But if you're jonesing for some Mets action, SNY is re-running, for like the 86th time, the Mets 2015 division clincher. Watch the Mets nail down one of their two first place finishes in 32 seasons.

DH on Saturday starting at 1500 (3 PM)

Yanx aren't cooperating [3-2 Marlins in the 8th]

Padres aren't cooperating [5-1 SFG after 6 in Game 1]

Rays & Phils are tied thru 7 ... Philly was up 4-1 early but, y'know, bullpen

[Edgy MD]

I don't know about Washington, but there was hardly any rain at all in Baltimore. And it was the soft, misty rain that actually is pleasant to play in.

Brief showers in Silver Spring, about 40 minutes from the Hell Hole they play in.

One time we need the MFYs to win and they lose. PHI lost, SF won the 1st game, so (per Tim Britton):

"They need to get a wild card, which will require three wins, one more Phillies loss, two more Brewers losses (including tonight), and three more Giants losses."

MIL is losing big so to stay alive for another day SD has to beat SF in the 2d game.

[Fman99]

San Diego up 3-2 in the 4th.

[G-Fafif]

Padres fended off Giants, despite Wilmer Flores HR. We're still stupidly alive.

Difficult, but doable.
