Can anybody explain wild card . . . ?
The paper this morning said that if the Mets had won yesterday, they would then have had two ways to make the postseason: (1) defeat the Phillies in the one-game playoff for the division title, or (2) enter as the wild card, since they would have ended tied with San Diego and Colorado for the wild card spot, all with 73 losses.
But if the Mets had won yesterday and then lost to the Phillies in the one-game playoff, they would have 74 losses. Either Colorado or San Diego, after their one-game playoff, would end with only 73. So how could the Mets have entered via the wild card route? Or is the paper wrong? Or does the one-game playoff not count in the final standings?
