National League Wild Card race all tied up!

[DirtyKash]

This Cubs-Mets game was very good. The Cubs took the lead 6-5 in the 7th inning, but the Mets came back to tie it 6-6 in the bottom of the 8th, but then Jose Reyes ended the inning by leaving the bases loaded. Huge opportunity wasted.

Later in the bottom of the 9th, Dan Murphy tripled to lead off, David Wright then took three straight balls but ended up striking out. The Cubs then intentionally walk Carlos Delgado to set up the double play, but Howry promptly goes 2-0 in the count to Beltran and they end up intentionally walking him as well. So now the bases are loaded, but the Cubs are able to get Ryan Church to ground into the fielder's choice and get Ramon Castro to strike out. Again, the Mets leave the bases loaded without scoring anyone. Unreal.

We go to extra innings. And Luis Ayala promptly gives up three runs, two on an Aramis Ramirez homerun.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee and Sabathia beat up on the Pirates, so this means that we're all tied up in the wild card with 4 games to go! It's deja vu all over again.

Pleeeeeeeeease give it to my team

Is Shorty still defending Ayala?

Go brewers.

[DirtyKash]

It was Ayala's 2nd inning of work, cut him some slack!

[love_that_reefer]

Yeah heaven forbid a reliever go two innings without giving up a run.

Carlos Beltran gives the Mets the walk-off win in the 9th inning!

The Mets were down 6-4 after the top of the 7th, but scored one in the bottom of the 7th, two more in the 8th inning to tie it up at 6-6, then again in the 9th.

The strange part is that the Cubs didn't even use Carlos Marmol in the 8th when they usually would have. I guess Chicago didn't really care about this game. After all, their lineup was kind of makeshift, with Felix Pie, Micah Hoffpauir, Mike Fontenot, Casey "Willis" McGehee, and Koyie Hill.

Ryan Braun hits the walk-off grand slam. EPIC.

I don't understand why Manuel didn't use Maine instead of Ayala for what turned out to be his 5th inning in 4 days, no days off. But oh well. We lost last night. We won tonight. Just gotta keep it up.

The Mets are down to their final out of the season!

[DirtyKash]

Mets fans look like they should be on suicide watch. Even before the inning started.

Shea Goodbye!

[DirtyKash]

Congratulations Brewers!!!

Mets, well, better luck next year?

[realmofotalk]

Or take a dive in the standings like this year's Padres.

[DirtyKash]

The Mets are now the first team in the history of baseball to be eliminated on the last day at home two years in a row. Ouch.

Congrats to the Brewers on clinching the wild card spot.
