Keep in mind the Mets have blown about six or seven leads for him too. The Mets' closest competitor is the Philadelphia Phillies, who are just four back in the loss column in the division, and now, thanks to Milwaukee's recent struggles, are only three back of the Brewers in the wild card. I predicted a while back that Ryan Howard would hit 18 or so home runs in September and |
