Tonight, after we all recover from a crazy deadline in which the Mets (50-55) found themselves on a very different side of things from what they expected, the team will turn their attentions to the Kansas City Royals (32-75), one of the worst teams in all of baseball.
The Amazins are coming off a four-game series with the Washington Nationals - AKA the one team lower in the NL East standings. To the benefit of the sanity of Mets fans everywhere, the team won three out of four, securing their place in fourth for the time being.
