Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. A dozen ways to win the game and the Mets don't capitalize on any of them. So goes a team that does not deserve to win. The lowlight: Mets riding wave of momentum after the Endy catch (more on that later)... bases loaded, one out, Valentin up, and K's. A fly ball gets a run in, Wagner pitches the 9th, and certainly doesn't hang a change to Yadier. Such is the game of baseball....
But wow... that Endy Chavez catch. I'm honored to have been in the building and seen that in person. Right afterwards I looked at the guy next to me and said "we're going to be seeing this catch for the rest of our lives." Just unbelievable.
If you do not know the catch to which I refer, you're too much of a nerd. Move along.
Baseball's all done for me. Go... Raiders? Knicks? Islanders? Sun Devils?
Siiiiiiiiiigh. Wake me up when pitchers and catchers report.

Three down, seven to go....
The New York Mets have just finished off the Dodgers in round 1 of the NL playoffs. Next up, either the Cardinals or Padres, where they will not be facing either Carpenter or Peavy in game 1, meaning they will only see the opposing team's ace a max of twice.
To all of the experts out there who predicted a Dodger win... not to sound like a homer, becuase I'm as realistic about my teams as anyone (case in point: I don't think the Mets stand a chance against Oakland, and CAN be Detroit ONLY IF they pitch intelligently to that impatient lineup), but have you been paying attention to baseball at all this season? An opportunistic lineup that can beat you every possible way combined with what may be the best 7-deep bullpen I've ever seen, against a Grady Little managed team? Come on now.
Mets in the NLCS, no matter WHO they play, in no more than 6.
Now all of you help a brother out! Go here and sign up to be eligible for the raffle for Mets World Series tickets! It's a random drawing where those randomly selected get the chance to buy a max of 4 seats to a max of one game, and I NEED NEED NEED to win :) Deadline is Monday 10/9 by 11 PM eastern. So sign up, and help this G go see his Mets in the WS!
