And her name is Jimmy Rollins.

Here are the combinations for the lame Mets to win the NL East, both the Mets and Phillies have three games this weekend:

Mets win 3, Phillies lose at least 1.

Mets win 2, Phillies lose at least 2.

Mets win 1, Phillies lose all 3.

Mets lose 3, Phillies lose 3, Mets defeat Philly on Monday. (Or any combination of equal Mets/Phillies losses.)

The problem with this scenario is it requires the Mets winning baseball games against a below .500 team (Florida).  That is not going to happen.

Steve's Prediction for this weekend:

Phillies win 2 out of 3 against Washington. Mets win 1 out of three against Florida and finish the season 1 game out of first and one behind San Diego in the wild card.
