[allentown]

And that's that. Good win. Again, our pitcher only touched for a score in the first IP.

[LoneStarPhan]

Another good win. Good offense coupled with good pitching.

[zambonir]

Sosa injury not great but hopefully minor. Walton call-up big now.

Torn between going tomorrow or seeing if Sunday might be clincher. Go Rangers!

[EastFallowfield]

Mets game is final, they lose again

[zambonir]

Go Reds, while we're at it

[EastFallowfield]

The 2007 Phils turned a 7 1/2 game deficit into a 1 game lead in 15 games (before going 1-1 in the last two games of the season and clinching the division when the Mets went 1-1 in the other order in their last two games).

The 2025 Phils turned a 4 game lead into a 12 game lead in 15 games.

[Philsmania]

Go Reds, while we're at it

Giants are surging and now are ahead of the Reds and only trail the Mets by .5. Giants Dodgers in the WC round would be interesting with the rivalry and the Giants being hot while the Dodgers have been flat.

[EastFallowfield]

NYM have tiebreaker over SF, but not CIN.
