What a Revolting Development

[billroper]

The Cubs got out to an early 6-1 lead over the Mets tonight, but giving up five unearned runs to the Mets took care of that problem. The Mets eventually won by the score of 9-7, which was good for the Mets, but not very good for the Cubs, because the Padres beat the Brewers tonight, moving them within a game and a half of the top NL wild card spot, currently occupied by the Cubs. This is important, because only the top wild card team actually gets to play home games in the first round.

Overall, this is not a good time to lose five games in a row. It is better than losing five games in a row in the playoff rounds, but since that's impossible, well...

I feel your pain. The Tigers are even worse off right now than the Cubs, doing a wonderful job of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory on a near daily basis. They're playing in Cleveland for two more days, and if they don't win something, there won't be a post season. sigh.
