PHILADELPHIA -- After the Mets clinched a playoff berth and home field for the National League wild-card game on Saturday with a 5-3 victory over the Phillies, all eyes shift to longtime Phillies slugger Ryan Howard on Sunday afternoon.Howard said hes not taking anything extra in right now and is only focused on playing baseball, but even his manager knows thats hardly likely.He says hes not but I think hes got to, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. Its just human nature. Tomorrows going to be fun to watch.Howards two-run homer to tie the game in the fifth inning against the Mets on Saturday could be Howards last. It moved him into 67th place on the career home run list list, tying him with Jim Rice and Frank Howard with 382.It was cool, Howard said. Being able to hit the home run and tying the game up. Tried to spoil it for them a little bit today but they got us and youve gotta congratulate those guys because theyve scratched and clawed.Mackanin said he hopes his first baseman has just a little more left in him for what could be his final game in Phillies pinstripes.Hopefully hell hit another one tomorrow, he said. Hes been swinging the bat well in the second half to have 25 home runs and almost 60 RBI. Hes been phenomenal.The Phillies will celebrate Howards career before the first pitch tomorrow, but the 36-year old first baseman says its just another game.Tomorrow is Sunday, Howard said when asked about tomorrows game. Im just going to show up. Ill definitely take it in. I think itll be something cool.The Mets are overjoyed to have the burden of home-field advantage wrapped up. Jay Bruce knows just how important it is to have secured that heading into Sunday.Home field means a lot, he said. I think home field means a whole lot. I played with Jim Edmonds in 2010 and he said that one play, one pitch can change the outlook of the whole thing and its so true. I think we have a group of guys who are ready for it.The Mets are undecided as to who starts Sunday as it appears they might save right-hander Noah Syndergaard (14-9, 2.60 ERA) for Wednesdays wild-card game. The Phillies send right-hander Jerad Eickhoff (11-14, 3.72) to the hill Sunday.Mets manager Terry Collins may not put Syndergaard on the hill very long, or at all Sunday.We are going to be able to save Noah (Sundergaard), Collins said. Im not sure were going to pitch him, he might just throw side instead. I just thought it might be good to face some hitters for him tomorrow.Eickhoffs start last Tuesday was cut short because of rain as he only pitched four innings against the Braves, but hell have a chance to punctuate his strong second half in the final game of the season.Phillies shortstop Freddy Galvis, who left Fridays game with right hamstring tightness, missed Saturdays game and his season is likely over.

The deal includes a fifth-year option. It also puts all the Bears picks under contract. A 6-foot-6, 313-pound guard from Oregon, Long was taken with the 20th pick as the Bears try to beef up a line that ranked among the worst in recent years and give Jay Cutler the protection he needs. Chicago also has added Pro Bowl left tackle Jermon Bushrod from New Orleans and guard Matt Slauson from the New York Jets this off-season. Long is the son of former Raiders star Howie Long and brother of St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long. Kyle Long reached the NFL even though his college experience was limited.

Annes-Belfield high school in Ivy, Va., he was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 23rd round in 2008 but wound up going to Florida State on a baseball scholarship. Academic issues forced him to leave FSU, and he also wound up spending a night in jail because of a DUI in January 2009. Long returned home and enrolled at Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo, Calif., in 2010 and wound up making the switch from pitcher to defensive end. He moved to the offensive line the following year with the Gauchos, and emerged as a key piece in Chip Kellys breakneck offence in his lone season with Oregon in 2012 even though he appeared in only 11 games. Longs draft stock rocketed after an impressive week at the Senior Bowl. ' ' '
