Yes
But it will require Dub, CarlosB and CarlosD hitting two three-run homers per game for the duration.

Sure
Because they can’t really make the playoffs with any other bullpen at this point.
'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

No.
I just don’t trust the pen right now. There’s no shutdown reliever who we can trust to come in and get us out of a jam. There’s too many specialists, and too little quality. Maybe, maybe we can get through the first round with just good starting pitching and our hitting. But surviving the NLCS with our bullpen in this state is highly unlikely.

Yes
Mets pen > Brewers pen.
Mets record = Brewers record.
Mets’ interim manager’s tenure > Brewers’ interim manager’s tenure.
The (irrelevant) shocker: Mets’ first baseman’s OPS > Brewers’ first baseman’s OPS.
Thanks to the Phils sweeping the Brewers, we have two shots to make the playoffs now. Good going, Philly.

"Carlose Delgado"
That kind of negative thinking can’t help, but I kinda feel it too.
However, while the bullpen is not great, I think they have been underperforming because they can’t possibly be as bad as they’ve been playing. They’re bound to have an upswing. I just hope it’s soon.

The margin is too close...
…for sheer talent to prevail at this point.
Baseball is too random for the “best team” to win based on talent alone.
All we (and Milwaukee and Philly) can do at this point is appeal to the baseball g_ds.
We weren’t good enough to eliminate the “luck factor”. At this point, we are at the mercy of chance.

"Baseball is too random for the "best team" to win based on talent alone."
I meant to say, “Baseball is too random for the "best team" to win over the course of a 10 game period, based on talent alone.”

can they pull it off?
Sure. All they need is Milwaukee to choke worse than they do. Power of positive thinking!
Also, let’s be thankful that the lineup full of Erstads, Bourns, and Ausmuses in Houston wasn’t enough. The Astros appear done.

After the loss to the Cubs
Do we want to see them in the playoffs? Of course we do. Anything is still possible, but w/the METS anything other than stellar play I guess losing in the playoffs will be easier to accept because we know that they truly stink.
