If the Mets, Phillies and Brewers end the season with the same record, the Mets and Phillies will play a one-game playoff on Monday in Philadelphia, the winner of which will win the NL East, the loser of which will play a one-game playoff with the Brewers for the Wild Card on Tuesday, which will not occur in Milwaukee.
If the Mets and Phillies tie for first place and have a better record than the Brewers, the Mets will win the NL East because of their head-to-head record, and the Phillies will get the Wild Card.

Matt please stop posting this every 3 hours. we all understand. your constant reminder is actually making it worse.
Hahahaha. That’s priceless. It’s literally the first time I have posted this all season. Ouch.
matt your my boy dont listen to these clowns. its the mets who are at fault not you. your site is great.
Right. It’s been me who has posted the tie-breaking scenarios every 3 hours. Being that they are tied now, with 5 games left, seemed like a good time for a real post about it.
I can’t believe Wright swung through his MVP award last night. I tasted first place and now I am hoping we can hold on to force a Monday game vs. the Brewers.
sigh
Correct. The 3-way tie scenario was never discussed but still a possibility. Though, after a loss like tonight, I can’t imagine ANYONE thinking about that at this point…
i’m wondering if they can hold off the Astros at this point.
I am disgusted to see this team blow game after game. The shame of it all is that Johan should be 22 -5 and Delgado should be the unanimous MVP. Instead we struggle every single game. I am tired of watching this pitiful pen miss the target and give up dingers. What the heck are we going to do if we actually DO make the playoffs??? The Cubs have Wood and Marmol, the Phils have Lidge, and the Dodgers have Broxton and Saito. We have nothing!!!! Omar better pony up this offseason and go for F-ROD or else we are just spinning or wheels. BULLPEN BULLPEN BULLPEN!!!!
Did the bullpen fail to hit a POP UP WITH A MAN ON THIRD AND NO OUTS IN A TIE GAME IN BOTH THE 7TH AND 9TH?!?!?!?!
I’m sorry, the pen did their job today, the hitters- specifically the #3 hitter whom we all, myself included, view as untouchable, did not.
Well, while it’s true DW, the offense, and Ollie deserve more blame for last night, the bullpen didn’t exactly shine either.
Plus, if you consider the season as a whole, it’s the bullpen that’s been the main culprit of this team’s failure. No contest. The offense and rotation for the most part have done their jobs while the bullpen has failed miserably.
Yes last night the hitters should have done the job and did not UGH. But in the big picture , the bullpen is a pigpen. You know what thats filled with. Looking ahead, the weather will be a factor and maybe a good one. Starters may get a rest, or shortened games and little pen needed. Looking toward next year. Yes , Posted things way ahead. Months ago I talked about this kid murphy in Binghamton. Now Looking at needs, corner outfield and pen. The Mets should reintroduce themselves to the Twins. Mike Cuddyer probably at this point has no real role. He can supply power and average. Young, Gomez and Span are locks for their outfield. Cuddyer is expendable. They are very deep in the pen. Watching their game versus Chisox, the brought in young kids who did the job. Jesse Crain could be had cheap. Now what do we have to give up ? The Twins are always looking for depth in the minors that is how they are built. Amazing no Johan and Tori Hunter and they asre still in it. Ike Davis and Havens and some lower level prospects may , yes may do the job. It probably would cost the Mets 5 players in total
What happens if the Mets and the Brewers are tied for the wild card at the end regular season?
Here’s the only tie-break scenario that matters - if the Mets tie anyone, Oliver “4-strong” Perez will pitch the playoff.
So let’s just forget that one, ok?
Even a pathetic, loser franchise like hte Brewers is poised to avenge last year’s collapse. But not us.
At this point, you can’t possibly pitch a Knight or whatever on Saturday. You HAVE to throw Johan on 3 days rest Saturday, and then on Sunday you HAVE to throw Ollie on 3 days rest Sunday if needed. They really don’t have a choice in the matter.
If they won tonight, it would’ve been an option to throw Santana on Sunday if need be, but now you don’t have the luxury of setting your team up for a playoff series. You have to win now, and I’m sorry, Brandon Knight on Saturday won’t cut it.
If there’s a playoff, so be it, and you throw Pedro with Pelfrey and Maine waiting to throw an inning if need be. Then, if we have a playoff and win, and we make it to a playoff series, you pitch Santana on 3 days rest again, I suppose.
Let’s see where we are. You may be right, but Saturday - though just two games away - is way off.
The weather is the wildcard here…it’s basically supposed to rain from Friday through Sunday…MLB will have fun with that one…
Actually, I think if they won tonight they could have been in a position to pitch Knight Saturday… and then Figeroa Sunday. That’s how huge last night’s loss was. Now I think they may have to pray for rain, or pitch Johan and OP on 3 days and then Pelf on Monday, with Johan available for two innings in the bullpen Monday on one days rest.
*if they won last night
I feel like I haven’t slept.
shoot me. better hope Pedro thinks this is 1999 tomorrow.
Great, so you’re saying we have potentially two more excruciating, kicked in the crotch type of losses to endure before missing the playoffs?
Super.
The good news is that they got Rey Ordonez to pull down the Lincoln Mercury number to zero, and then Tuesday Tony Clark will do the double zero honor.
Bingo - the most reasonable, well thought out post here in a few weeks. The way things are going, I wouldnt be surprised if we have to pitch a positional player in the 8th or 9th.
I would sign up for a 3-way tie right now.
I wouldn’t. I want this over Sunday one way or another. Enough of this torture.
I do know the Brewers will NOT sweep the Cubs. And we will NOT sweep the Marlins. And that we handed the Phillies the East tonight as they have 3 games left with the Nationals, whose pitching only we can’t hit.
funny thing about perceptions: The Phillies are 9-6 against the Nats…the Mets went 12-6 against them. So unless the Phillies sweep them, they will have finished with a worse record against a team whose pitching “only we can’t hit.”
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
I am buying stock in Xanex tomorrow.
$700 billion
Enron is a bargain; an insider friend who deals with Pres Bush tells me W believes in Enron unless youre in the oil business or your spouse owns an arms exporting company.
Call me crazy, but i have a feeling we won’t be worrying about a tie breaker game.
Well after tomorrow we will be two back of the Phillies and one back of the Brewers. I’ve defended Pedro alot, but this lineup will eat him alive.
The Mets would greatly benefit from a rainout tomorrow.
PEDRO is DONE and the game is over before it starts. Sorry the truth hurts. Pedro = Glavine
