Happy recap.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Mets Win! The Mets Win!

The Mets sweep the Cubs!

[Guest Edgy DC]

As this winds down, I'm not assuming anything but...

Florida 2, Cincinnati 0

San Diego 3, Washington 0

Milwaukee 2, Philadelphia 0

St. Louis 5, Atlanta 4 (on a walkoff grand slam in the bottom of the ninth by Eckstein)

The teams ahead of the Mets in the division are also the only ones ahead of them in the wildcard race, with Houston playing the part of Atlanta. Houston won tonight, but making up ground on three games ahead in the division and three ahead in the wildcard race is a good. night's. baseball.

As I type, Victor-y is final.

[Guest Edgy DC]

First win in 30 days for Victor.

First loss since June 22nd for Carlos.

Great series, the Cubs came in tied with the Mets in the WC and leave cursing NY again, Victor was great tonight, as Cliff Floyd is saying rightnow on the FAN, "we need to take this on the road and win games"..here here.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, 4 of 6 is certainly OK. It just didn't come the way one would expect it and it certainly could have been better.

]St. Louis 5, Atlanta 4 (on a walkoff grand slam in the bottom of the ninth by Eckstein)

Weird stat of the night:
David Eckstein has 22 career HRs; 4 of those are Grand-Slams and, of those four, two are walk-offs!
Among active players, only A-Rod and Steve Finley have as many as 2 WOGSs and both of them have considerably more careers HRs to draw from.

[Centerfield]

David Eckstein = Clutch

BTW, where's our sweeps thread? Do we have one?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I dub thee "Sweepmeister."

A sweep is not complete until Centerfield records it in the soon-to-be-established Sweep Thread.
