Best. Final Weekend. EVER.

While the Angels are heading to Oakland more concerned about resting players and deciding on the playoff roster than obtaining the best record in the American League, and the Red Sox and Yankees are putting the finishing touches on the American League Eastern Division, few will be paying attention to the Junior Circuit this weekend as the National League provides us with the most exciting final three days of the season EVER.

Wrap your noodle around this one for a second.  While the American League is all decided except for the icing on the cake, with a mere three days left to go in the 2007 regular season, not a single National League playoff spot is decided.  In fact, as of today, there are still seven teams in the playoff hunt in the National League.

Seven.

With only three games left to play.

It's almost like playoff series before the playoffs.

And that's not including what will happen in the event of a tie, any tie, which looks increasingly likely.  In fact, I'd be surprised if there isn't at least one tiebreaker played on Monday.  And, from the looks of that article, it could get a lot more complicated than that.

In fact, there could be tiebreakers played all the way through next Thursday.

With the Mets on the cusp of an historic collapse, the Phillies surging, three teams fighting for the NL West and the Wild Card anybody's guess, I'd say it's a great weekend to try that free trial of MLB.TV, wouldn't you?

Enjoy this weekend.  You're likely to never see another like it.
