New York's premier baseball team actually won last night and it cost Florida a game in the Wild Card race. Maybe we can't be in it, but with series against Florida, Washington and Philly we sure can try to make sure that they don't make it either.

Base10's one hope is that they do cobble together a couple of wins so that they finish .500 and avoid a losing season. I can live with that, but am not certain the Mets will rise to the occasion.

There is always next year, but Base10 is really getting tired of saying that in September. Our uptown cousins, the New York Yankees are embroiled in a tough pennant race. I believe only a game and a half separate the Yanks from their archrivals the Boston Red Sox and guess what? They play each other at Fenway for the final three regular season games. There's no guarantee the Yanks will make it, but it does make for exciting ball. The Mets, on the other hand, play their final series against the NL's worst team, the Colorado Rockies. Maybe the Mets can end the series on a positive note.
