Why the Mets CAN win in October…

…IF (and yes, that’s a BIG IF right now) they get there – they can go with a three man rotation.

Wed-Thur-Sat-Sun-Tues is the first round schedule, for both NLDS. Whoever goes Wednesday can come back Sunday in Game 4, on short rest…but the guy that pitches game 2 can go on normal rest in Game 5.

In other words, if they go with Santana on short rest Saturday and it works, and they make it in – they can have Santana pitching two games in a five game series (both on normal rest if he pitches Game 2), and Pelfrey/Ollie splitting the other three. I’ll take my chances with that formula…

Now, with that being said…****ING GET TO THE PLAYOFFS, DAMNIT!
