This is getting exciting. I’d almost say this is one of the best parts of the year with baseball coming to an end and football getting started. Today the Mets finished off their seriers against the Phillies winning 8-3. By way of taking 2 of 3 against the Phillies, the Mets lowered their magic number by 4 to 18. Of note, Wagner seems to be hitting his stride the past few weeks. He finished off the Phillies today in the top of the ninth with 3 k’s and hasn’t given up a run since August 9th. Having Wagner at the top of his game in October will be huge for the Mets.
