Well the Metsies pulled one out of their a$$es tonight.
They scored once in the seventh, twice in the eighth, and once more in the ninth to win 7-6. Carlos Beltran got the walk-off single to drive in the winning run.
The victory moves the Mets to within 1 game of the idle Phillies in the race for the NL East title with each team having three games to play.
In the Wild Card race where the Mets and Brewers were tied going into tonight, well...the Pirates and brewers were tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the 10th inning. The Brewers got something going and loaded the bases with two outs when Ryan Braun hit a grand slam walk-off home run for a Milwaukee 5-1 victory. That victory allows the Brewers to keep pace with the Mets. Both teams are tied with three games to play.
This weekend:
The Phils play three against the Nationals in Philly.
The Mets play thee at Shea against the Marlins.
The Brewers play three against the Cubs in Milwaukee.
Mother Nature plans rain for the two cities on the east coast that do not have roofs on their stadiums like Milwaukee's.
One game playoff day is Monday. (And maybe Tuesday if things are really, really weird.)

Anything can happen. The thing about being a Mets fan is you need to be able to let your ability to believe in miracles win out over your natural inclination to be cynical. The Metsies'll do that to ya.
