With the Phils going into Atlanta, time to root for the Braves to bounce back by winning two out of three.
The Mets and Phillies each have 26 games to play. If the Mets play .500 the rest of the way, the Phillies would need to finish 17-9 (.654) to finish in a first-place tie.
Did you notice that Wagner's fastball picked up about 3-4 mph half way thru yesterday's ninth inning? It turns out that LoDuca noticed that he was not pushing off his legs and came out and told Wagner.
someone posted what the phillies had to do if the mets did .500 when the lead was 7.. well that didnt matter because we got swept. if there is games left against each other, these records dont mean much because a sweep either way changes everything
also. pretty amazing that aaron harang, who we know is a good pitcher but still he is 14-3 for the freakin reds..
no, a sweep can just contribute to the Mets playing .500 ball, which would then require the Phils to go said 17-9 making the projections very accurate and meaningful.
reyes really looks terrible these days. castillo only being able to get on base when he bunts is really cute too.
god damnit, milledge is sitting again. you know, i'm REALLY not going to be happy when he's left off the postseason roster for shawn fucking green.
