BREAKING: METS WIN NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST CHAMPIONSHIP! With strong pitching and two home runs from Jose Valentin, the New York Mets secured a spot in the playoffs tonight. There was a chance that some of the team's thunder would be stolen by a Phillies loss tonight (which would have secured that spot for the Mets anyway), but the Mets managed to beat the Marlins 4-0 while Philadelphia and the Chicago Cubs were still duking it out in the eighth inning. Congrats to the whole team for an outstanding season and a remarkable turnaround in the past few years!
