    Now news is that Jacob is headed for season ending nerve surgery. Suck it up, I guess.

    Terry keeps riding that Rivera train. I might have gotten Kelly Johnson into the lineup today...either in place of Rivera or Loney.

    I would have to research how it has been done in the past, but if I were on a team, I wouldn't want to celebrate until the wildcard playoff game is won. OE: the Yanx celebrated last year.

    Some of the half games will return next week with the Cards playing next Thursday while the Mets are off and the Mets playing on Monday the 26th while the Giants are off. Everything won't fully synchronize without half games until after the games of Thursday the 29th are played (barring rainouts).

    Now that the Giants took the first game, I'm rooting for them for the rest of the weekend against the Cards (with the Mets taking care of business against the Twinkies being the primary objective, of course). The Giants still have 6 with LA (and they are within striking distance in the NL West) which makes their remaining schedule tougher than the Cards'. St. Louis will still have three more with the Cubs, but with the Chicago having clinched, I'm not relying on them being at full force the remainder of the way as they rest and set up their team for October. As of now, I kind of want to the Cards as many games back as possible going into next week.

    The Cubs clinched via the STL loss, though, as they lost to the Brewers, too. It sounds like they are holding off on the celebration until they win again.

    As a Mets fan growing up in the Midwest, The Sporting News was how I kept up with the team in the late '80s. I kept a copy of this Baseball Digest for years (image not mine...my copy is long gone). I know it was one of the first magazines that came to my house that was addressed to me.

    It means making it to the Wild Card play-in game. The Mets making it to that game and losing would be below my pre-season expectations for the 2016 club. But, I was literally a couple losses from completely writing them off due to injuries back in mid-August. Win or lose, I would consider simply making it to that play-in game a success given the obstacles this team has had to overcome. Obviously, I still prefer they win the World Series.

    538.com is now giving the Mets an 85% chance of making the playoffs. San Fran is at 64%, St. Louis at 48% and the Marlins hanging around at 3%. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-mlb-predictions/

    The Mets MLB schedule page lets you now choose 2017 in the calendar...but I'm not buying it. Right now it shows them playing the whole month of April at home, all against division foes!

    Yeah, I'd bump him.

    .198/.268/.336/.604 with 34 Ks in 127 PA since joining the Mets. I have to think the Mets could be a couple of wins better if Bruce was pulling his weight...much less playing to the level of the clean up hitter the Mets thought they were getting.

    I was watching the Gints/Snakes in bed last night and I dozed off with the sacks full of Gints in the 10th. Quite the game...I just lost my stamina.

    Freeman was pretty crappy for the first two months this season, too. His overall numbers show how great he's been since then.

I can't remember a team playing this badly in a long time. That said, there are still six innings left to play in this one. Plenty of time for Cincy to make up for their poor play...so let's score 11 runs in the 4th, Metsies!
