...the Astros' elimination number is 2. So, if the Mets win and the Astros lose tomorrow, then the season is over.
Two interesting demonstrations of baseball's traditional bullshit last night:
1) Wigginton's error.
Note that, had Carlos been playing LF, then he probably would have been nowhere near that ball. So Ty was already doing something right in that he was able to field the ball. Unfortunately, he misplayed it terribly, so he got a 3-base error. Errors are bullshit.
2) Wandy's loss.
Both of the Wand man's runs were unearned, the product of Wigginton's misplayed ball. So, in the eyes of the scorer, Wandy didn't give up any runs.
But he still gets the loss. Why? If both were "unearned" (not his fault), then why is he on the hook?
Of course, why would anyone say that giving up 2 runs in a game is bad? That's an excellent performance.
Wins are bullshit.
