We listened to most of the Phillies tense 3-2 win over the Marlins on the ride home. Christine closed her eyes on the really nerve-racking plays as if she were watching on TV.
"Why am I so nervous?" Larry Andersen asked.
We pulled in our driveway just as Brad Lidge was making the game more interesting by walking the leadoff batter, who then stole second. He needed 26 pitches to end the game but registered three strikeouts.
The Mets lost - we listened to the last half-inning - putting the Phils back in first by a half game. The Brewers also lost, putting them 2.5 behind the Mets for the Wild Card. It's time to start rooting for the Brewers to overtake the Mets for the last playoff spot.
Congrats: The Rays clinched a playoff slot with a win and have increased their division lead to 2.5 games over the Red Sox, who lost to the Blue Jays today. If they go 6-3, they have the division regardless of what the Sox do. We'll see what happens in October.
