Quick Game 7 Recap

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.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
