Note regarding the Wild Card first-place standings, beginning in 2012. Since there are now at least two teams placing first in the Wild Card race, there is usually a discrepancy between the team with the best record and the team with the second best record. In the official standings, two or more teams can be listed as tied for first place regardless of their Win/Loss records. In other words, there will never be a single team atop the standings in the Wild Card race, even if one team has a better record than the second best team.

As such, I have completely overhauled the daily log once and for all, so as to distinguish where the Mets stand in both the Wild Card 1 race and the Wild Card 2 race. In the Wild Card Rank columns, despite the official standings, I have separated "WC 1" and "WC 2," as well as the "Games Back" columns for easy spotting of where the Mets stand in either race.

For instance, if the Mets are leading in the overall Wild Card race (Wild Card 1), they shall be ranked first in the "WC 1 Rank" column, with the "WC 1 GB" column indicating how many games ahead they are of the team(s) holding the Wild Card 2 position, as indicated with a plus sign. Simultaneously, the "Wild Card 2 Rank" column will state "WC 1" with the "WC 2 GB" column indicating how many games ahead of the third place team(s) they stand.

Likewise, if the Mets are in first place in the Wild Card 2 race, they will be listed as first in the "WC 2 Rank" column, but, again, despite the official standings, second in the "WC 1 Rank" column. As well, the "WC 1 GB" column shall indicate how far the Mets are behind the team(s) holding first in the Wild Card 1 race, while the "WC 2 GB" column shall indicate how far ahead they are of the third place team(s), as indicated with a plus sign.

I shall hold those same standards for all other rankings in both Wild Card races, wherever the Mets may be after any given date. So, for instance, if they're in sixth place overall, they'll be listed accordingly in both Wild Card rankings, reflecting sixth in the Wild Card 1 race and fifth in the Wild Card 2 race, while both WC 1 and WC 2 Games Back columns shall reflect the distance the team is from both Wild Card goals.

This may all seem complicated, but it's really quite simple. In any scenario, simple arithmetic will afford us a glimpse of where the Mets stand in both Wild Card races.

Oh, and in case anyone cares, I've eliminated the "Opposing Pitcher Of Record" column, so as to make the table less congested with other team stats.

P.S. Frankly, this whole extra Wild Card team thing has me baffled, for it is entirely unnecessary, what with the three divisions and the best second place team being all that's required, but the geniuses who run MLB have decided they don't make enough money, so every fan of MLB is stuck with ridiculous dreamt up playoffs at season's end. Makes ZERO sense to me, but qué sera sera. We all have to deal with it. I just don't like seeing a team that has a second place record being listed as tied for first, so I'm doing what I can to at least make the distinction.

Mets to start next season at home against the Padres.

The Mets will open the 2013 season against the San Diego Padres at Citi Field, a major league source told ESPNNewYork.com.

The full schedule is expected to be announced by Major League Baseball this week.

National League East clubs, including the Mets, will face the American League Central in interleague play.

The Mets' first road trip of next season will take them to Colorado and Minnesota. Interleague play will be throughout the season with the Astros moving to the American League and 15 teams in each league.

The Mets went 4-3 in the season series against the Padres this year.
