WET AND WILD by Tom Brennan

The magic number to get in the Wild Card game now remains at TWO after St Louis won their Thursday game with a bottom 9th walk off win, and San Fran followed suit with an easier win vs. the Rockies.


Now each of those two teams and the Mets vie over the last 3 days to land one of the two wild card spots, with the Mets in the driver's seat in that regard, one up on SF and two up on STL.  All 3 teams are on the road again, Willie Nelson told me, and on paper, the Mets have it easiest:  Phillies, while the Frannies play the tough Dodgers and the Louies play the almost as tough Pirates.

That's the Wild part.  The Wet part? 

Philadelphia's weather forecast:
          

Today? Rain.  For Tonight's Game:  Showers                    

Low 61° 40% chance of precipitation.  Gsellman the Great vs. Asher.                   

Saturday for the 1:05 start? Showers

High 70° 50% chance of precipitation.  Colon the Colossal vs. Klein (who?) 

                    

Sunday's 3:05 game? YAY!!!  Partly Cloudy

High of  76°, with a mere 20% chance of precipitation. Thor vs. Eickhoff (if they have not clinched both a Wild Card and home field before then).

Then win the Wild Card game and face the Cubs - getting ahead of myself there, but the sight of Gsellman and Lugo mowing down the Cubbies is downright exciting.

Have a good day, stay dry, and go WILD.
