Didn't you hear? The Mets were supposed to clinch this weekend. It was a foregone conclusion, ask anyone...
Surprise. Didn't happen. Why? 'Cause the Bucs don't lay down. Instead, they finished off a 3 game sweep with a beaut by Duke, who tossed 8 shutout innings.
Little Pedro was close to tears in the dugout after game one, so I don't know what happened to the whole "there's no crying in baseball" thing. But I can tell you this, there's no clinching in Pittsburgh.
I just love that the Pirates are denying the Mets and Pedro their moment. (Pedro's salary equals what, like the entire Pirates payroll?) With a 7-3 record in last ten games, the Pirates are the second best team in baseball right now. If only the season was this one ten-game period.

Please there buddy. If in the final month of the season your high point is that another team didn't clicnh a playoff berth against your team (not that your team played spoiler from keeping them out of the playoffs) then your team obviously sucks the big one.
