The last-place Florida Marlins, fresh off a three-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs, are 69-90.
The fourth-place Washington Nationals, having taken two three of three at Shea, are 72-87.
So with three games left in baseball’s regular season, can the Fish at least enjoy a little company down in the cellar? Every NL East fan wants to know.
Correction Appended (as opposed to, y’know, crossing out for comedy).
Fans of both the Mets and Phils are hoping that the Nats and Fish have their allotment of wins for the week. Curious, in case of a 1 game playoff Monday, Kyle Lohse would likely get the start for the Phils (if he isnt pressed into long relief Saturday what with the awful Adam Eaton on the hill), who gets the start for the Mets? Humber? Do they throw El Duque out there and hope for the best?
