Off topic for a second - speaking of Jewish ballplayers, HBO has been airing a wonderful documentary on Hank Greenberg. Check it out if you get the chance.

Back to the Mets - I can't see them playing before Sunday (rainouts) and Milwaukee is playing at home (where they should be able to play). Milwaukee is going against the Cubs, so they'll have no easy wins. Since Philadelphia is also playing at home (and unlikely to play today and possibly tomorrow) the Mets need to pray that the Cubs go on a winning streak.

Last night's win had to be a big boost in the arm for NY.
