What's wrong with this picture?

 

Besides the obvious?

Even after managing to finally squeeze out a win against Philly last night, the New York Mets are still in fourth place, and already ten games behind the first-place Phils.

But...they are just 1/2 game out of the sixth and final playoff spot.

Will this matter? 

Probably not. The Mets probably won't make the playoffs, and it's even more doubtful they have the team to make a run to the World Series, as the sixth-spot Diamondbacks did last season.

But it demonstrates again how much baseball has cheapened itself by letting 40% of all teams into the playoffs.
