Thanks to Santana Mets still in it.

On the final day of the regular season at Shea, Mets will go out this rainy afternoon and prevent the Shea Era from ending in heart break for the 2nd straight year in a row.
Thanks to another brilliant performance by Johan Santana, who once again came up big like the big 7 year contract Omar Minaya signed him for, the Mets get to see another day of importants. There is nothing else to be said about Santana, excpet that he went the distance and pitched a shoutout to keep the Mets alive and make game 162 an important one, where the Mets will give the ball and trust it with Oliver Perez on 3 days rest, just like Santana had just done. This was a game where Santana had to be on point and make no mistake, and no mistakes where made. The Mets were only able to get 2 runs off of Marlins ace Ricky Nalasco who was also looking for his 16th win of the season, just like Santana. Nalasco was strong in this one but Santana was just better. The Mets runs were score when Jose Reyes led off the game with a single, then stole a base and score the Mets 1st run on Carlos Delgado RBI sacrifice fly which prove to be enough for Santana on this day.

The always pesky Marlins were no match today, and Santana was simply to much.
After the game the Mets would get some help when the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers to set up a tie for the Wildcard. As for the Phillies, they won there game againts the Nationals and have made it back to back Division titles. So now it either the Mets or the Brewers who will have to win thier games today to push a final game on Monday at Shea, to see who will be the last NL team to get in.
C.C Sabathia will go for the Brewers & of course it will be Oliver Perez for the Mets.
