The Mets are one away from falling out of the wild-card race. Of course, they're giving fans a great tease, going on a bit of a tear as the season winds down.
Realistic goals:
1. Finish above .500.
2. Finish 4th, not 5th in division (may need to sweep this series with the Nats to accomplish).
Meanwhile, with a Yank loss and a Red Sox win today, the AL East is tied going into the stretch.
In the immortal words of Louise Day Hicks: "You know weah I stand!"
9/25 update: Mets swept Nats, so hope remains they won't finish in the cellar. Nevertheless, while their elimination number remains at one, they're effectively out of wild card contention. Being thus relieved of expectations, they'll probably do well over their few remaining games, and finish above .500. A three game series in Philly starting tonight means they may also affect the outcome of the NL wild card race.
Red Sox and Yanks both won, and so stay tied in the AL East.
