    North Carolina was the 12th state to ratify the Constitution, on November 21, 1789. https://designshop-6aa0.kxcdn.com/photos/north-carolina-large-letter-postcard-online-16559_92.jpg>

    McNeil looking pretty gimpy. Do you take him out and put Ruf in the outfield? Or Gore? Gore, McCann, Ruf, and Vientos are the only position players on the bench.

    Acuna strikes out, the Nationals win, Braves lose!

    Canha hit by another pitch. Two outs and nobody on in Atlanta.

    We couldn't expect much from the Nationals, but the Phillies really could have done better.

    I hope Marte comes back soon.

    The Mets have six games remaining before their series in Atlanta, and the Braves have eight. In the unlikely event that all fourteen games have Happy Outcomes, the Mets will begin the series eight games up with six remaining, and the series will be meaningless. In the equally (I hope!) unlikely event that all fourteen games have Unhappy Outcomes, the Mets will be six games out and their backs will be against the wall. So that's the range: From eight games up to six games out. The window will narrow each day, of course. Also, if the Mets pitching rotation remains in place over the last twelve games, this is how it will play out: In Oakland: Bassitt, deGrom, Scherzer. At home vs. Miami: Carrasco, Walker. In Atlanta: Bassitt, deGrom, Scherzer. At home vs. Washington: Carrasco, Walker, Bassitt. That would leave deGrom and Scherzer in rotation to start the first two games of the Wild Card series, if necessary. If the Mets advance directly to the NLDS, they'll have time to set the rotation however they'd like.

    I guess we're not used to the concept of unmoderated quizzes.

    This is an unmoderated quiz. You can peek at the answers if you like.

    I didn't know there was a Donn Clendenon, Jr. (I assume he's Donn Clendenon's son?) What's he been doing that would put him on this list?

    DO-IT-YOURSELF QUIZ This one is probably too easy, and has too few answers, for the usual one-guess-at-a-time format that we usually use. So I'll just pose the question and you can consider it a thought exercise. If you want to check your work, look at the teeny-tiny answer at the bottom of this post. If you don't want to squint, you can see it by copying and pasting to another app, or clicking the QUOTE button and seeing the answer in preview mode. Of the Mets who have won the major awards: MVP (none yet, of course), Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, Gold Glove, and Silver Slugger, only three have not appeared in a postseason game for the Mets. Who are they? ANSWER: Doug Flynn, Gold Glove 1980; R.A. Dickey, Cy Young 2012; Pete Alonso, Rookie of the Year 2019.

    Yesterday: Four Happy Outcomes: Win by the Mets, losses by the Phillies, Dodgers, and Cardinals. Three Unhappy Outcomes: Wins by the Dodgers (they split a doubleheader), Braves, and Padres. The Phillies now disappear from this chart as, at best, they can finish with the same record as the Mets, and the Mets own the tiebreaker as a result of winning the season series. With the Brewers and Phillies now eliminated (at least from the Mets' perspective) the Mets, at worst, will be the Second Wild Card. Should they fail to win the division title, their first-round opponent in the Wild Card series will not be the N.L. Central division winner, who will most likely be the Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Braves have clinched their playoff spot, joining the Dodgers, Astros, and Mets in the green room for the postseason.

    Yes, it would be great if, tomorrow, we could skip over North Carolina and go straight to New York!

    Time to bump this thing. Most of us are already guaranteed to have come in too low with the number of wins we predicted.

    Phillies and Blue Jays decided to play football instead of baseball. Jays up 18-10 in the ninth.

    Well, I didn't have to rue Canha's strikeout for very long.

    No Big Purple for Alonso's homer?

    How about Ozzie Smith? 15 times an All-Star, 28 home runs. .592.

    Oh, wait... we're looking for higher numbers, not lower numbers! NEVER MIND!
