The Mets just lost the NLCS against the St. Louid Cardinals, but not due to a lack of effort. Endy Chavez made a spectacular catch to keep the game tight until the very end. What I saw was the Mets of old, as opposed to the dominant force they were all season long. I saw a team give it up in the end innings of a most important game. Despite the 2 run homer, they tried to tie it up. First two batters get on base. Then they get another batter on base, bases loaded. Floyd strikes out. Beltran is up and he goes 0-2 pretty quickly. Then, after fouling a ball, he watches the Met's last chance go right past him. I HATE watching my team lose on a no-swing strikeout. Its kind of like blueballs...painful and unnecessary. I dont blame Beltran, because these guys should have put more runs throughout the game...hell, they should have won it a lot sooner. Nothing against the Cardinals, but the Mets are the better team. Were the better team. Now they gotta wait till next year to prove it.
I can't necessarily count on the Jets, so thank goodness for Hockey season. Go Av's!!
On a brighter note, today was my last day of working 7-7, with night school. I will now be doing night school till 5, which means I will be working 7-5. Should be a huge improvement, especially in my WoW time.
