METS!

Pick 25 guys and build yourself a post-season roster. The outline below isn't necessarily what I'm advocating (so please don't argue with the table), just a snapshot of sorta where things sit now, with the injury to Uribe giving Johnson a bit o' boost. Some guys appear at more than one position group � starter and reliever, or infielder and outfielder � but the assumption in the table that the team goes with five starters (one being the emergency starter), seven relievers, two catchers, six infielders and five outfielders. Obviously you don't have to build your team that way and neither do the Mets. Pl Anyhow, pretty cool that the Mets are holding 33 players that they'd like to carry. Gonna be some painful choices.

Wayne Randozzo is already downstairs.

Wright. That is all.

Sounds like a party at Fman's in his single days.

Lambchop is a fast worker. He might get called for not stopping.

Bo Duke bringing it left-handed for the Reds.

Thar be baseball.

I failed to include the extra game the Nats had to win. And I left out the play-in game as well.

Flip-flopping Murphy and Cespedes.

I calculate that the Mets have a 0.01220703% chance of blowing this, so if I take that bet, you're totally going to have to give me odds.

I'd hate for the Mets to win the division but show signs of ill breeding.

I imagine they will let their top relievers go. The Dodgers are going to have about 200 scouts at this game, I think. So, not having any experience with backing into the playoffs, and seeing that the Nats and Mets both have 4:00-ish starts... [*:32hhzxli]If the Nats lose while the Mets are still playing, is there a subdued celebration in the clubhouse or dugout, or is there an unwritten rule that you pretend not to notice the out-of-town score until you take care of your own business? [/*:m:32hhzxli] [*:32hhzxli]If the Mets don't take care of business � they lose � but the Nats lose shortly before or about the same time they do, do they still charge the field to celebrate after the last out, or is that just terrible form, and they save it for the clubhouse?[/*:m:32hhzxli][/list:o:32hhzxli]

Rockies two innings away from giving you a fifth reason to be happy.

Hey, a road win for Syndergaard!

Terry bringing a big ol' hook.

Kibosh on Boesch.

Well, our fourth- (fifth-)string third baseman isn't helping.

Or... wait, I'm feeing sick.

MMMmmmm...

Roxx up 7-1 over the Superbas. This could get good.

Dilson does not go easy against Chapman.

Tough inning. Good thing d'Arnie got them out of it by framing a pitch.
