So tonight, Keith wasn't sure on whether "Running on Empty" is a Jackson Browne song, wasn't familiar with "The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes," and thought the lack of pedestrians in downtown St. Louis is somehow related to to the NBA Hawks leaving town in 1968.



And he forgot his shirt.

The Mets gain on San Francisco (thanks, Braves?), Cincinnati (thanks, Jays!), and Miami in both the division and Wild Card races (thanks, Dodgers!). The Diamondbacks are up 8–1 on the Pads in the ninth, so in all likelihood, the Mets gain on San Diego as well, putting them within a half game of fifth place in the Wild Card race.



Either way, they have closed their net deficit from 26.5 to 23.5 games with tonight's win.



The Crane Pool Heat Index has them as the hottest team in the NL right now.



Lastly, they lowered their run differential to -30 with tonight's win — the highest it's been since the last time they were at -30, or something.

6 games out of the second wild card. Their current magic number to get to the second wild card, if I'm not mistaken, is 45. We can do it!
