Fall Baseball Begins: NY Teams Win

Sunday was the first day of fall. The New York teams redeemed themselves over the weekend (Th-Sunday). 

The Mets had a four game series. They had another mini-laugher (Phils scored some runs late), had a stinker, but then won the next two. This includes a Sunday Night Game with Megill v. Wheeler.

The Jets took care of business against the Patriots, now with a credible QB. Then, the Giants won against the Browns, who have their own problems, particularly an albatross of a QB. 

The Giants quickly were down 7-0. Then, they scored 21 unanswered. The offense decided to take a rest for the rest of the game. The defense -- except for one score -- did the rest. The Giants aren't quite dead.

The Yanks did okay, especially since the Orioles slipped while the Yanks did not, making the division race a bit of a joke. The Tigers and Mariners  (less likely) also sneaked into the Wild Card race. 

If the Mets win the series at Atlanta (at least 2-1), they are in. They are two ahead of the Braves (the series is currently tied) and tied with the tiebreaker now with the Diamondbacks. So, with six left, they are the #2 wild card seed. Oh, so close. 

The Mets beating the Phils three out of four also allowed the Mets to avoid the Phils celebrating winning the division at Citi Field. It would be nice for the Mets to seal the deal at Atlanta. 

ETA: Bills have a good Monday Night.
