The Wild "Wild Card Race"

Tuesday, June 23, 2009

According to AOL, there are now five teams within 1 1/2 games of the NL wild-card lead.



San Francisco on Monday lost to Oakland for the first time in the past six Bay Bridge Series meetings to fall into a tie with idle Milwaukee.

Meanwhile, the Mets beat the Cardinals and the Rockies took advantage of six (!) wild pitches to beat the Angels, so both picked up a full game.

So Colorado is a 1/2 game back, and the Mets and Cubs are 1 1/2 out.

It bodes for a fun race. A year ago today, only three teams were within five games of the NL wild-card lead and Tampa Bay had a three-game lead on the AL side.

Unluckily for the Mets, you can't spell Wild Card without DL!
