You really need to tip your cap to the Braves. They ran down a 10.5 game lead – and then just knocked off deGrom and Scherzer back to back. None of that is an easy task….and if I told you that the Mets would have a 10.5 game lead and then start those two against Atlanta in a tight series, you would have felt pretty good about all of it.
Suffice to say, tonight is a huge game – a loss drops Atlanta’s magic number to one – a win ties the division and gives the Mets the season series tiebreaker.
Unfortunately the game is up a pretty exciting Mahomes-Brady game and House of the Dragon, so it’s going to be a struggle to follow ESPN tonight.
Meaningful games in October! Let’s just hope the Mets don’t have any next weekend.

By the way, when does this Pete Alonso guy you all rave about do something clutch?
