Two weeks ago, the New York Mets were seven games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies and were seemingly cruising on their way to a second straight NL East Division Title.
Well, since then, the wheels have come off and the Mets are on the verge of a collapse of historic proportions. Forget about the 1969 Miracle Mets. These would forever be known as the Mets Mess of 2007.
As of this morning, the Phillies are tied with the Mets, and each team has three games remaining on their schedule.
New York Mets 87 72 .547
Philadelphia Phillies 87 72 .547
Mets host the Nationals for three games at Shea.
Phillies host the Marlins for three games in their ballpark.
If both teams end up tied at the end of the season on Sunday, a play-in game will be held Monday in Philadelphia. The Phillies have won eight straight against the Mets.
What a mess.
