There was a reference around a week ago by at least one Mets reporter, after a Mets loss, that the Giants had the third wild card because of a tiebreaker. The Giants lost (and kept on losing) later in the day & Mets went back to having a third playoff spot.
"The Mets finished their home schedule with a 49-32 record despite a 4-5 final homestand, and drew 3,182,057 fans, the most since the ballpark opened in 2009."
That's a bit amazing given how bad they have been the last few months.
The Diamondbacks have a hard (three playoff teams) schedule, but it would be a bit amusing if somehow they manage to get a playoff spot.
More amusing is that the Mets STILL are supposedly favored (if only by a hair) for the playoffs over the Reds. The Cubs were just swept. I'm thinking they want to show a pulse vs the Mets. Plus, the Marlins just love beating the Mets. The Reds have the Pirates and Brewers.
BUT THE HORRIBLE SEPTEMBERS BY AND THE LACK OF RBIs BY THE FOLLOWING
ALONSO, NOT ICE COLD BUT FROZEN
ALVEREZ, SHOULD HAVE STAYED ON THE DL WITH TORRENS STARTING
VIENTOS, ABOUT 1 MONTH OF GOOD HITS AND 5 MONTHS OF HORRIBLE SWING AND MISSED STRIKEOUTS
REMEMBER BARON IN LATE APRIL, I TOLD YOU VIENTOS WASN'T THAT GOOD. YOU SAID GIVE HIM TIME AS HE'S A GOOD HITTER
AND WHAT A JOKE,
AS YES BARON, LINEUPS MATTER
BATTING VIENTOS 4 5 6
BATTING A COOLED DOWN MARTE 5 6
AND BATTING A RED HOT BATY 7 8
*
ALONSO WAS RED HOT IN APRIL MAY AND THEN IT WAS ALL DOWNHILL. ESPECIALLY SUKING IN SEPTEMBER
AND SENDING THE BEST PITCHER SENGA TO THE DL WITH A HORRIBLE THROW. ONE OF MANY I MIGHT ADD
SOTO WAS RED HOT IN SEPTEMBER WHEN IT MATTERED AND WAS NEEDED
SOTO COULD HAVE BEEN PAID $100 MILLION THIS YEAR AND WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT
Since August 29, SOTO HAD A .333/.410/.801 (31-for-83) slashline with 15 extra-base hits (10 HR, 4 2B, 3B), 25 RBI, 20 runs, 12 stolen bases, 15 walks and a 1.277 OPS
PS. HOW MANY TIMES DID ALONSO COME UP IN 7 8 9 INNINGS AS THE GAME TYING OR WINNING RUN AS NOT HOMER BUT STRUCK OUT
This is exactly what I feared about two or three weeks ago and now that this team is on the outside looking in you would expect them to put up a valiant fight in the remaining games. It would be great to see but I expect more of what this team really is and that’s one just ahead of the Rockies and White Sox. I hate to say it but this team goes out on a whimper as they will most likely have to win at least 2 against the Marlins to get in and they will split the first 2 and lose the last game putting us out of our misery finally. The attendance numbers were fantastic and wasted. The fans listened to Uncle Steve when he called the fans out over attendance last year. So, we listened to him and paid out hard earned money for this??? This team has been our reward because the owner cried about losing money at the gates? Should this team fail to get in I hope many Mets fans hit him up on twitter over it.

The Mets play a Cub team that is 20 games OVER .500. What are the chances....
I WONDER IF THE METS MANAGER WILL SHOW UP AS THE METS WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT A MANAGER
OR WILL THE METS OWNER FIRE, BOTH THE UNDESERVING METS GM AND METS MANAGER OF THEIR JOBS THIS WEEK
Sterns will not be fired. Cohen waited and worked too hard to have him as GM.
Mendoza is 50/50. He has one left on his three year contract. Who knows.
