The two city DGaaDG IGT - Mets in Maimi, 9/7/26

[Edgy MD]

It turns out that this Mason Miller guy is pretty good, and behind his efforts shutting down the Nats in the ninth, the Pads take a 3-2 win, and the Mets take a share of fourth place!

(They're actually a tiny percentage behind but as both teams are the same number of games back, we'll call it even.)

This is the Mets' first taste of the air outside the cellar since May 31!

This is also the first time they have had a claim to any league-wide place higher than 13th since, well, the same date.  And as you can see below, there is even a period there where they were below the Giants.

Tough times in the deep water, but now we're looking at the fine art of surfacing.  Your job now is to root for the Dodgers to bring the roof down on Chase Burns and the Reds.

Pads win 3-2. 
Hope is a wonderful thing.

You guys lose me here. Moving up in the standings means our draft position falls 10 spots. I get that drafts are speculative but picking 10 spots higher is still highly preferable. 
 

And I’m all for rooting for the Mets to win. But where you lose me is rooting for our “competitors” to lose.

Catching the Nats is terrific.  Catching the Reds, the Pirates, and/or the Marlins is better.
