“We’ve got 67 games to go and we’ve got 39 in our division,” Collins said. “If we end up having a good record against our division, I think we’re going to be in the mix at the end.”

Look, I know Terry can’t say, “Hey this thing has been over for a month because I let the team get 11 games under” but you know who else probably has 39 games in the division? Everyone.
I want to go to the beach so I will do a quick version of The Math. The Nationals play the Braves six more times. Those are six days where you can’t really make up ground because someone is going to win. Now start doing that with all the Wild Card permutations and…..yeah there are few windows of opportunities left.
I will be curious to see what happens here. The fan base was all hopped up last week. We’ll know on Monday if everyone is suicidal again or if Fake Pennant Race fever is real.
Oh by the way, after a hot week the Mets are 5 games under .500
