   Shea Stadium has entered its final regular season games with the last game being played this Sunday as the New York Mets hosting the Florida Marlins. It might not be the last game the famous stadium hosts, but the way the Mets have been playing who knows.

   The Mets have one of the most injured relief pitching staffs in all of Major League Baseball and have proved this fault to be there biggest flaw. New York has the most blown saves in all of MLB and is currently in the midst of a critical series with the Chicago Cubs.

   When one thing goes wrong for a baseball team it seems it all goes downhill fast, and for the Mets, it has been a season of Slumps and winning streaks. New York has been in first place in the NL East and is currently in first place for a Wild Card birth.

   As of late, the Mets have lost 3 games in a row and look to its pitching staff Ace Johan Santana to help get the team out of a hole. The Mets are holding on to the top spot for the Wild Card birth but have to hold off the Milwaukee Brewers one game behind the Mets.

   It will be an exciting last week of the season but if the Mets fail to make the Post-Season, it will be the second consecutive time the Mets miss the Playoffs after holding a lead. A one game is not much, but considering the amount of money the Mets payout to their players it will be a complete failure.

   The Mets can pull the spotlight away from the rival Yankees with a playoff birth because the Yankees have failed to make the playoffs. Shea Stadium has its share of memories, and the New York Mets are hoping to include a post season game to close out the famous stadium.
