Mets Champs
The Mets defeat the Marlins 4-0 as Trachsel and three relievers spin a four hitter. New York wins its first division since 1988 and is the first team in the majors to clinch a playoff spot. Congratulations to the Mets on a fantastic regular season.
The Marlins loss, however, likely fries their chances at the wild card. We'll see how the other wild card games play out tonight, but in my mind they are through.
I'm thinking we might see a rematch of the 1988 NL Championship series.
