What happened: Howie Rose signed off Saturday night with the Mets' Sunday home finale against the Phillies in doubt because of weather. The retiring Mets radio voice treated the close of the broadcast as a possible final goodbye to listeners, and the club plans to move its pregame acknowledgment to next season if Sunday cannot be played.

Why it matters: The moment arrives with Sunday's game not yet started and the Mets holding a 2-1 series lead over Philadelphia. It also comes days after Rose was set to call the Mets' final regular-season home game, raising the chance that his last sign-off has already aired.

By the numbers: Sunday opens at 0-0 with New York carrying a 2-1 series lead over Philadelphia.

What to watch: Watch whether weather allows Sunday's home finale to be played. If it does not, the Mets plan to shift Rose's ceremony to next season.
