And that win was #82 on the season, thus guaranteeing a winning season and making fools of those of us who predicted 68-94 and the like back in the spring.
Phils lost in Brew Town, so the Tragic Number stays at 5 (4 requires the "tiebreak" to factor in, so let's call it 5 for safety's sake).
However, the Pads zapped the Buzzstros, so the Semi-Tragic Number shrinks to 9.
As the Mets and Phillies each have 12 games remaining, the Mets would need positive results (Mets win, Phils phlop) in 20 of 24 (.833) to salvage the division. So don't bet on that happening. Pads have 13 games left, so Mets need 17 out of 25 positive outcomes (.680) to pull their bacon out of the Friars there.
