I'm trying to figure out why he's feeling a need to redact the paper's name. ("Republican-American"?)

Pretty durn good night. Woulda been better if Milwaukee kept losing. Right now, that's the key to the whole shebang, and it's out of the Mets' power. But catching two teams in one night is pretty excellent. It's been weeks and weeks since they did that. And it's high time they reached out and caught some Fish. If they merely do that, it's a meaningful step forward. I've added two new columns in the Wild Card standings, allowing us to view team's games back and net games back behind the first Wild Card Team and the same behind the second Wild Card team. I've also added the two "heat" columns on the right of both sets of standings, demonstrating the teams' records in their last 10 games and their current streak. Amazing how most teams, no matter how dire or rosy things look in the moment, tend to be 4-6, 5-5, or 6-4 in their last 10. Anyhow, adding the current streak to the number of wins in the last 10, the Mets join the hard-charging Giants as the two hottest teams in the league, with heat factors of 9. GO METS!

Atlanta clubbed, 11-3, by the Marlins and lose their share of the last Wild Card spot. Philly goes up 8-7 in the eleventh over Washington. We're finished in Colorado. The Pads fall to the Rox, 3-0. Mets pass both the Redlegs and the Friars in one evening.

And AJ lines a soft one to left. Brewers end the losing streak. K-Rod gets pissed at somebody, benches clearing to get his stupid hot head back to the dugout.

Descalso grounds to first for the fielders choice at second. Two away.

Bourjos goes down hacking at ball four.

Wong follows with a base hit of his own, and the tying run is on deck.

Francisco Rodriguez on for the ninth for the Brews with a four-run lead. Yadi starts off with a single.

Yeah, they split some time ago.

Colorado doing their job and giving it to San Diego, but Milwaukee is aiming to pull out of their funk, with a 6-2 lead over St. Louis in the seventh. COME ON, YADI! DO SOMETHING FOR ONCE! Phillies and Nats all tied up, 7-7 in the 10th.

In the very least. Retain counsel, if you must.

Surprised to see how slight Goeddel looks. Cincy fans, you don't get to sing a Ramones song. They're ours. You get, ummm... Pure Prarie League.

dD makes us a centerfielder's play in left.

Eric Young, Jr., may get into this game. DEFEND YOUR STOLEN BASE TITLE HEAD-TO-HEAD, EY!!

Logan O'Ndrusick on for the Reds. I o'love burning through a team's bullpen in game one of a series. O'love it a LOT.

Mets 'R' Awesome!

Good bunt by den Dekker and a better fielding effort by Dennick. A lot of den-s on that play.

Woman in the front row clearly said something to make Pena blush on that popup.

Oh, KAPOWIE! You don't try that shit twice, Simon.

Wright just took like a 50-mph pitch for strike three.

Is O'Simon wearing a Dominican mohawk?
