The Mets and Phillies react to the season premiere of The Office

The Mets and the Phillies are going down to the wire in the first case of a pennant race in the Wild Card Era of baseball. The winner of the NL East goes to the playoffs; second place might not be good enough for the Wild Card. But that doesn't mean they should have to miss out on their favorite TV shows.

The Phillies swept the Mets

The Phillies did their part to get the Mets off to a seven-game losing streak (your turn, Braves). Mets fan and apparent masochist Laura sent some pics in to commemorate the pivotal series, and I added a few of my own.

(Speaking of which, I need to contact the Franklin Mint, see if I can sell some of these on collectable plates.)
