"Playoff Fever 2008: Minus 5"

Yesterday, the Cubs beat the Mets, allowing the Milwaukee Brewers to move up a half game in the Wild Card Race. Today, however, the Mets won. And since the Brewers' did the same over the Pirates, they stay one game back in the race. Here's where things stand at the end of today:

National League Wild Card:

Team Name .... W - L ... GB

New York Mets ......... 87 - 70 ... ---- ... (5 games left)
Milwaukee Brewers ... 86 - 71 ... 1.0 ... (5 games left)
Houston Astros ........ 82 - 74 ... 4.5 ... (6 games left)

Only five games remain, and the battle still rages. Can the Brewers make it into the post-season Playoffs for the first time in 26 years? I say yes. What about you? ... Go Brewers!
