As you know, the big issue in the Nationals today was whether the Reds or Mets would be able to qualify.
Remember, the Reds had the advantage in the tie-breaker. For New York to make the playoffs, the Mets had to win and hope for a loss by the Reds, who were playing the Brewers.
And let's just say, it's hard to win when you don't score.
The Reds lost 4-2, but the pathetic New York Mets couldn't score against Miami. The club lost 4-0 and is out of the playoff race.
Mets… Astros… Tigers (who escape the division)… what happened to these clubs?
The Mets, who had the best record in Major League Baseball at one point during the season and one of the biggest payrolls in history, are officially out of the October dance.
What an admission of failure. Will heads roll? Will Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz be back?
The New York Mets lost and will miss the playoffs. At one point they were 45-24. They end the season at 83-79. An all-time disintegration. From the best record in the game to out of the postseason.

The Reds, who have made the playoffs for the first time (in a full season) since 2013 thanks to a slim 83-game winning streak, will face the Dodgers on Tuesday (9pm) in a 2-of-3 series. The winner will play in Philadelphia on Saturday.
This is the case because of the standings, which read like this:
- Brewers
- Phillies
- Dodgers
- Cubs
- Padres
- Reds
And at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, the Chicago Cubs will host the Padres for their 2-of-3 series. And the winner, as of next Saturday, will be able to cross swords with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The season is over: it's time for the playoffs.

- Will Bob Melvin be back in San Francisco in 2025?
Bob Melvin said he hasn't gotten any recent assurances about his status for next year (he is under contract). Said he expects to meet with someone in front office tomorrow. “We'll see what the next day brings.”
