Baseball Update

September ended with more races (Houston and Atlanta) over and the last Mets home game.

It was a win, thanks to more rough Marlins play (it became a laugher when the manager tried to squeeze one more inning out of a long reliever), allowing Rick Hill to finally get a win as a Met. Hill has done his job -- you could basically rely on him to give you five or so innings and giving up at a run or two. But, the team wasn't good enough until now to actually allow him to win. They lost the middle game, so 2-1 series win.

The Braves has gone on a run again, and now swept the Phils (who played just mediocre to come in second), so that final series with the Mets won't mean anything. So, more of a chance of a win or two, perhaps. Red Sox continue to struggle, lost a series to the Orioles, so tied with Seattle with three to go. Yanks about ready to take the first wild card. Giants two ahead of Dodgers, so really only the AL Wild Card race left. Rooting for Seattle.
