Damn baseball is fun this year!!!!!

By the time anyone reads this it will be old news, but........
There are 5 teams in Major League Baseball fighting for their lives.
The Diamondbacks are 89-72.
They could lose, Padres win and they are tied at 90-73 with a playoff imminent.
Mets, Phillies and Rockies are all 88-73.
Padres are 89-72 going into Sundays games with the NL East & West titles and NL Wild Card up for grabs. Phils & Mets are battling for the NLEast title. While all are basically fighting for the Wild Card.
Additional sample scenarios.
Padres lose, Rockies Win, they are tied 89-73.
Mets win Phils lose, Mets win NL East (89-73), Phils (88-74).
Phils win Mets lose then reverse that.
If both win or both lose...they are either 89-73 or 88-74.
Both Rockies and Padres figure into the mix for the wild card & maybe the NL West.
In a perfect world... there's a four-way tie among the Mets, Phillies, D-Backs and Padres then the Phillies would host the Mets to determine the NL East champ and the Diamondbacks would host the Padres to determine the NL West champions.
The two losing teams would play Tuesday, Oct. 2 to decide the Wild Card. The Phillies or Mets would host the Diamondbacks; the Padres would either host the Phillies or travel to New York; the Rockies would host either way.
Who says the wild card system doesn't improve baseball?
Personally...I want Mets in the NLE and the Rockies as the Wild Card, but not without one game playoffs... TOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!
