Playoffs? Playoffs?
Playoffs? Playoffs! I still don't understand how the Diamondbacks have clinched the West when the Padres are one game back before Sunday's games.
If the Mets and Phillies both win today (and I'm guessing both will, though I think the Mets will have the harder time going against Dontrelle Willis who is 5-0 at Shea Stadium), then they will have exact reverse home/away records. With wins, the Phillies will be 47-34 at home and 42-39 on the road. On the flip side, the Mets will be 42-39 at home and 47-34 on the road. Note: if both teams win the playoff game will be in Philadelphia tomorrow. According to their season long records, that is exactly how both teams would want it. Of course, given those records it is more likely that that the Mets will lose at home today and the Phillies win at home.
My friend Shuff - a Mets and Giants fan - is going to the New York "doubleheader." The Mets game at 1pm and the Eagles-Giants at 8pm. Here's hoping the Phillies clinch by 5:00pm and the Eagles can deliver the knockout blow to NY fandom tonight.

Not to be my friend. Mets are a joke. Good luck to the Phils in the playoffs. I hope they meet the Yanks in the series.
But what is important is that the Eagles are now 1-3. Osi beat Justice like a rented mule tonight. Donovan was on his back all game. Lots to think about for the future. Is Andy's coaching approaching the the caliber of his parenting?
Meanwhile, the Giants are 2-2, with a terrible coach, and their two losses against the best teams in the conference.
Better enjoy the baseball.
