The bullpen has just give up back-to-back homers, putting the Marlins ahead 4-2 in the eighth. Meanwhile, the Brewers have just gone ahead of the Cubs 3-1, also in the eighth. There were four possible outcomes today: Mets win, Brewers lose, so Mets win wild card; Mets and Brewers both win, in which case they have a one-game playoff; Mets and Brewers both lose, ditto; Mets lose, Brewers win, so brewers get wild card and Mets are done. Three possibilities out of four have the Mets staying alive. Right now, the one possibility that kills them looks almost certain.
Update: Brewers win their game; Delgado just flied out with two on, two out, to end the eighth.
Second update: It's still 4-2, going to the bottom of the ninth. Wright is up, then Chavez, then Easley.
Third update: It's down to Easley.
Fourth update: Easley walks! It's up to Church.
Final update: Church flies out.
here's something to make your pull out the rest of your hair: according to ESPN's buster olney, the problem with the mets is that david wright can't handle the pressure of a playoff run. now, granted, i haven't read the article (sorry, blog post), cause i don't feel like paying for crap like that. but, that's his headline. it's not your bullpen. wright, that's the problem
