The Mets as usual refuse to make things easy for themselves. The Mets lost 2 of 3 to the Braves this weekend which dropped the Mets lead in the Wild Card to 1 and ½ games and leaves them that same deficit behind the Phillies for the NL East crown.
The Mets now have 4 games with the Cubs and 3 games with the Marlins to close out the year. Hopefully the Mets can find a way to handle the Cubs. If the Mets can win 4 out of the last 7 games they force the brewers to win 5 out of 6 just to tie the Mets for the Wild Card. If the Mets go 3 and 4 in the last 7 the Brewers can win the wild card by winning 5 out of 6 or tie the Mets by going 4-2. The Brewers play the Pirates before they end there season against the Cubs.
If the Cubs work on getting there rotation set for the Playoffs we might only see Carlos Zambrano for 5 innings like Ryan Dempster did yesterday. Lou Pinella gave all his regulars Sunday off against the Cardinals. Hopefully we might see that at Shea.
