Ah enablers. Phillies lost, so the Mets -- another pathetic outing (this time both starting and relief pitching was bad) that made the Nats' bats look like the Yanks -- drop their magic number to 4. Two ahead, five to play, including three against the Marlins ... who even the Mets beat three of four last weekend. Hard to blow that, though they probably will make it tough. Why stop now? Either way, Randolph will want antacids, not champagne, next weekend.
Update: Mets are trying real hard. Elimination watch begins.
