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!
