RESULTS: ROUND 1 - REGION 1:

3) 1986 New York Mets vs. 14) 2005 Chicago White Sox

Dwight Gooden and Mark Buehrle both pitched well and into the 9th inning of game one. The score was tied 2-2 when AJ Pierzynski hit a one out run scoring single to take a 3-2 lead. In the bottom of the 9th the Mets would get the tying run to 2nd base but Dustin Hermanson would relieve Buehrle and pitch out of the jam for a massive upset in game 1.

Game 2 was more to the Mets’ liking. Ron Darling helped his own cause with two RBIs in the 2nd inning and after Darryl Strawberry’s bomb in the 3rd the Mets were up 4-0. Freddy Garcia would avoid further damage while getting through the 7th, but Darling was masterful for the full nine innings, giving up 6 baserunners and striking out 9 for the 5-0 shutout win to even the series.

The series shifted to Chicago for game 3 and for the third straight game the Mets would have their starter pitch into the 9th inning. Bob Ojeda this time, after giving up a first inning run, would finish the game with six hits against and no more runs. Jon Garland was not as good on the other side, getting chased by seven runs in four innings, and the bullpen was not much better. The Mets stroked 17 hits in the 11-1 win with eight different players driving in a run.

In game 4 the White Sox would score in the first inning for the second straight night to take an early 1-0 lead. After New York tied it up in the 6th, Jose Contreras really ran into trouble in the 7th. Mookie Wilson hit a 3-run HR and the Mets plated five in the inning for a 6-1 lead. Do the Mets even have a bullpen!? Another starter sees the 9th, Sid Fernandez throwing a 136 pitch complete game, and with a 7-2 final the Amazins are on the brink of a round two berth.

In game 5 the Mets would get solo homeruns from Gary Carter in the 1st and Kevin Mitchell in the 4th. Eventually up 3-1 in the 8th Dwight Gooden would serve up a solo shot to Joe Crede to make things nervous. But Roger McDowell would relieve Doc to close it out with a 1-2-3 9th, and a 4-1 series win.

Kevin Mitchell takes the MVP with a .500 average, 1 HR, 4 RBIs, and 4 runs. Though I feel the Mets' starting rotation could share the MVP award. They finished the 8th inning in all five games, and gave up a total of 10 runs. They pitched 43.1 innings of the 45 inning series and New York only used one arm out of the bullpen with Roger McDowell's 1.2 IP!
