Meet the Mets
Greet the Mets, hopefully with a broom.
Well, it's on...in 4 hours anyway. The Metropolitans are getting their chance at revenge for the National League pennant that should have been theirs, by their reckoning, or at least that of many of their fans.
That's why the play the games. Even Cardinals fans would admit that a lot of times the better team doesn't win (see 1985 WS Game 6 or 1968 WS Game 7). However, the delusion that the Mets were a much better team than the Cardinals at that point really should end. The Cards' pitching was good enough to win in 7, and aside from one game (Game 4 in St. Louis), the Mets potent lineup was nullified.
And, oh by the way, Carlos Beltran is still dreaming about that called third strike. And he still can't swing at it. That being said, good luck this season to Mets' fans. Let's hope there's another Mets-Cards NLCS. It's the way it should be.
Kevin,
Yes, the called third strike. I'm still dreaming about it......and smiling.
Let's go Cardinals!

I truly can't get enough of it. But, it's a new season, and it's time to move on.
Go Cards! :)

I wonder how you all are feeling now - Cards looked pretty sad - Mets on the verge of stopping the Cards cold and sweeping the 3 game series like a street cleaner. Smile and dream all you want about last year - consider it a gift. You will not get that again this year, whether it is the Mets or some other team.

Consider it a gift...from who? You, Buzz? The fact that Mets fans are so bent out of shape about not getting to the World Series last year is the greatest gift of all.

Kevin,
Great response! What's up with Mets fans anyway? I've never in my life seen fans so bitter or have such hard feelings about a loss.
To buzzm55....you guys can have your sweep. If I had to choose, I'd hands down rather have the ring. Personally, I have no hard feelings against New York and would love to meet up with ya'all again in the NLCS....and beat you once again.
