    And he drives in a run. Today is going to erase yesterday.

    There are still a lot of different ways that this can play out. I think I have this right, but please correct me if you see any omissions or errors. The Rays and the Blue Jays currently have the same won-lost record, but the Rays have the tie-breaker advantage. The Red Sox can tie the Rays or the Blue Jays, but they lost the season series to both teams, so the best they can do is the third Wild Card. The Twins have the same record as the Red Sox, but they won the season series against the Rays and the Jays, so they can, in theory, finish ahead of either or both teams.

    You're right... NL Central winner (most likely) will play the sixth seed, and the fourth plays the fifth. My bad.

    Oops, thanks. I'll fix it!

    Yesterday was a very good one for Happy Outcomes, with four: Mets win, Braves, Padres, Dodgers lose. The only Unhappy Outcome was a win by the Cardinals. The Padres now drop off our chart, as their Magic Number has been reached and they can no longer finish with a better record than the Mets. This ensures that if the Mets end up in the Wild Card round, they will have home-field advantage and will play the [CROSSOUT]lowest-ranked opponent[/CROSSOUT] second Wild Card team. When the Mets' series in Atlanta begins on Friday, the Mets will be somewhere between seven games ahead of the Braves and two games behind, with six games remaining.

    New Hampshire, also known as "Li'l Hampy" (not really) was the 9th state to ratify the Constitution, on June 21, 1788. https://designshop-6aa0.kxcdn.com/photos/new-hampshire-vintage-greeting-card-16555_17.jpg>

    Where would we be without Big Purple?

    She's totally creepy. Have Gary or Ron commented yet?

    Shwarber struck out but Hoskins doubled. 4-0 Phils, bottom 2.
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    Phillies up 2-0 in the second.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    Still batting, first and third one out, Shwarber at the plate.
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    Or we can watch the Braves play the Phillies.

    =Centerfield post_id=108385 time=1663951124 user_id=65] I think this weekend's series represents the last chance for the Mets to get some separation. Go Phils!

    Yesterday, the Mets were idle, but we had two Happy Outcomes (losses by the Braves and Padres) and two Unhappy Outcomes (wins by the Cardinals and Dodgers.) The Dodgers and Padres are both close to dropping off our chart. The Dodgers' Magic Number over the Mets is down to 3, and the next Padres loss or Mets win will cement the Mets as the First Wild Card, should they fail to win the division. The loss by the Braves means that the Mets can still have the division clinched before they arrive in Atlanta, but to do so would require the Mets to win their next five AND for the Braves to lose their next six. Eleven Happy Outcomes in eleven games. When the series against the Braves begins, the Mets will be somewhere between seven games up and four games behind in the standings.

    I don't think you can say "never" anymore, because now the LCS could be between two Wild Card teams, and one of them would have to have home field advantage. I assume though that a division winner would get ranked ahead of a Wild Card, even if the Wild Card team had the better record.

    Yesterday: Three Happy Outcomes: Losses by the Braves, Dodgers, and Cardinals. Two Unhappy Outcomes: Mets lose and Padres win. When the Mets get to Atlanta, they will be at best 7 games ahead, and at worst, 5 games behind, with 6 remaining.

    Double disaster there? Did McNeil aggravate his injury in a failed attempt to catch that grand slam?
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    It looks like the Magic Number will be spending the night in North Carolina.
