It wasn’t all that long ago New York Mets fans were staring at possibly erasing the 2007 collapse to the Philadelphia Phillies. There was an opportunity to be down 7 with 17 to go as the case was in 2007. Then the Phillies swept the Mets. Ever since, New York has been battling to keep their head above water.
Nothing about 2007 changes, but that team may soon have company. Over in the American League Central, the Detroit Tigers are falling hard. It’s looking like one playoff-worthy club will miss out on making it to October with 7 teams vying for 6 spots.
