Last night proved for the final time that people really have no idea what they are talking about. If you watched the TV or looked at online polls or listended to the radio you would have thought that the Mets would win in a landslide, but surprise it didn't happen.
The Cards Pitching
Remember when the Cards came into the playoffs and everyone said they weren't going to win due to their pitching. Well Suppan threw two Gems and Wainwright has filthy stuff coming out in the ninth. His curveball has so much break on it, it should be illegal.
Second Guessing of the Big Willie
Some peopel are going to come out today and second guess to of Willie's decisions. 1st to leave in Heilman in the 9th in a tie ball game. Honestly I have no problem with this, Aaron has been the setup man the whole year he rolled through the 8th and was facing the bottom of the lineup if you get through there than in the 10th you have Wagner to throw to the heart of the order and the last thing you could possibly expect is for Yadier ".210" Molina to hit a 2-run homer. He rolled the dice that Heilman would get through the 9th and it failed, but I would have done the same thing especially with Wagner struggling so far this series and Super So lingering on the bench.
Secondly the pinch hitting of Cliff Floyd with no outs and 2 on in the ninth. Here were Willie's options either bunt or hit. Willie obviously decided he wanted to hit in that spot and that left him with only Cliff Floyd to go to due to their bench being so porous. Honestly, no one was hitting that curve ball he struck out on, and I personally thought the biggest worry the Mets could have had was a double play. Sure you could say they should have bunted but there is no guarantee that the bunt gets laid down properly, I don't think it was a no brainer that Willie messed up on.
Endy Chavez
It's unfotunate that the Mets didn't win only because the catch Endy Chavez made is one of the greatest catches in postseason history. And it will slowly be forgotten due to their loss.
