All right, moving on from the stirring tunes of Broadway to the Eagles...
Anybody notice? The Zombie Teams are back again.
The New York Mets and the Fiends of the Fenway have already spit the bit on this season at least five or six times, with awful, inexplicable meltdowns.
But guess what?
They're still in it.
No, I'm not saying they're going to get to October, much less win anything. But they still have a puncher's chance.
The Mets, after losing six straight at home to other contenders are...right back in the cavalry charge for the NL Wild Card Play-In. All it took was a little 3-1 spurt on the road.
The team still isn't in third place even in its own division and are 5 games behind the Cubbies for Spot Number Two. But with 25 games still to go, and everybody playing everybody, they have a shot to make the postseason still.
Much more alarming is how the Red Sox—like Vito Corleone after being gunned down on a Little Italy street due to the incompetence of Fredo and the perfidy of Paulie—are STILL ALIVE, just 5 1/2 behind Cleveland for that second spot.
This strikes me as everything that is wrong with a playoff system that extends down the whole first third of the league.
Teams can flop, flail, and faceplant week after week—then get it together at the end and, if they have a certain specialty like the Mets' pitching or the Sox' hitting—become a genuine threat to win it all.
Pah, I say, Pah! It's a distortion of the beauty of the Long Season. You should have to finish first to play in October.

What has flown up Paxton's rectum and can we ensure that it stays their until November??
There. Not their or they're. There, fuck it.
There, there Winnie.
T’was a ray of pure, golden sunshine, sprinkled with a little stardust and a touch of KY that flew up young Paxton’s arse, Winnie.
Maple has the syrup flowing tonight. And I know that sounds kind of gross but I said it anyway.
That was a lot of home runs last inning. No cheapies, either. And Wade is hitting.
What the fuck is happening? ("My Favorite Year" fans know that's followed by..."What the fuck is happening?!?")
RailRiders take IL North in bonkers, ridiculous, absolutely gonzo victory. Father Time, aka Eric Kratz, with the game winning double. What did they earn for this triumph? An overnight bus ride to North Carolina.
Missed the updates in the other thread. Well done all around!

Can they please clone that and give it to Happ when he's sleeping?
It only works, Rufus, if you really want to believe. If Happless is willing to dress up like Dorothy, in "The Wizard of Oz," and repeat the sacred incantation while receiving the infusion, anything is possible.
Personally, I think a serious study of Duque's book and the Metaphysical Laws of the Rizzuton Particle are a better way to influence events.
