Mets’ playoff hopes increase tickets sales for likely historic September attendance
It finally happened in the bottom of the eighth inning in Queens on Wednesday, when Francisco Lindor stepped up to bat and the baseball crowd turned into a karaoke party.

Mets are employing winning formula of a playoff team
The Mets are playing like a postseason team, but they're still not in the playoff running. They won their seventh straight game Wednesday night with a barrage of talent — pitch after pitch, at-bat after at-bat, strong defense after strong at-bat and some superb, resourceful coaching from Carlos Mendoza.

Scottie Scheffler likens Tour Championship short-comings to Dallas Cowboys’ playoff blunders
ATLANTA — Scottie Scheffler has previously explained that he doesn't like the format of the FedExCup playoffs, and he also doesn't praise the handicapping system used at the Tour Championship.
