The Mets Lost, But......

Their playoff chances actually increased thanks to the Brewers and their continuing misfortunes.

According to my good friends at Coolstandings, the Mets now have an 86.8% chance of making the playoffs.

A win tomorrow will put that number over 90%.

Keep the faith and beat the effing Braves tomorrow!
