Looks like the Mets are going to make the wild card.  Barring a three game collapse against the Phillies. If they wrap it up early they can skip Syndegaard's start Sunday and save him for the wild card game. If so, they will be tough to beat in that one. Can't see them beating the Mets but one never knows.

All three teams battling for the WC are playing around .500 ball the last 10 games.

True.  Mets are 16-10in September.  A closer look at their record reveals that, like the Nats, they cleaned up on the East.  Still will be formidable in the wild card if Syndegaard pitches.

The Phillies just beat the Mets last series.

Mets won three of the four games so not sure how the Phillies won the series.

Didn't say that. Just a reminder that you can't assume they will be crushed just because they are the Phillies. If they can beat them once, they can beat them again.

Probably just need to win one game in the series. That's a fairly safe bet.

freak the Cards. The Mets don't scare me. The Giants do a little. This is Chicago's problem really.

True since the Nats cannot and will not make the NLCS.

Would be nice if one of them could knock off the Cubs. But not likely.

Joey Votto takes a throw to the cutoff man in the face, apparently doesn't realize he's bleeding. Some reports he's ok, some say bad injury. I guess we'll know more once he sees the doctors. https://mobile.twitter.com/AdolphxRupp/status/781669413300805632/video/1

It probably tells you something about his place in the history of hockey, but at Saturday's pre-game ceremony for Ortiz, some former Bruins were on the field. All the articles mention the presence of Bobby Orr and the big photo is of the two shaking hands.  No mention of his side kick, Ray Bourque, who was standing next to Orr. Andre Tippett, Ty Law, Joe Andruzzi, and Mark Chatham were there for the Pats. Andruzzi comes from a family of firefighters, several of whom were at the Twin Towers on 9/11 but got through OK.  Andruzzi was also at the finish line to the 2013 boston Marathon and was photo'd carrying victims.  Several Jimmy Fund cancer survivors and Marathon bombing injured were there, as well as the entire current Celtics team.  Today will be mostly former Sox.

Syndegaard vs Bumgarner Wednesday. That should be a good one. The winner gets to be fodder for the Cubs.

better, yet, though not the best outcome, the Jays clinch the top wild card spot.  go Jays !  (sorry to those Nats fans who, for some reason, have some affinity for Baltimore that's more than geography(?))
