Mets in three-way tie for first
Published 5/1/2008 at Surfing the Mets - NY Daily News Blogs
Since it may only last for a few hours, until the Phillies play the Padres tonight, here’s something to note:
The Mets are in a three-way tie for first place with Philly and the Marlins, who lost today to the Dodgers. Actually, the Mets are percentage points ahead of those teams:
Mets 14-12 .538
Florida 15-13 .536
Philadelphia 15-13 .536
What does that mean? Well, not much if we see a duplication of Wednesday’s game tomorrow in Arizona. But it is a little perspective.

Maybe May will be a better month for Ryan Howard. With the game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 8th, Howard hit a game winning home run to give the Phillies a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres. Howard also had a double earlier in the game that drove in a run. His two hits on the night rose his batting average to a robust .184 and also gives him 20 hits to go with his 40 strikeouts.....
