New York Mets: 4th NLCS berth
1903 1904 1917 1921
“Ooohhh my god, can you believe it, bro? The Mets actually did it. They didn’t just win, they freakin’ swept the Giants. I mean, when’s the last time we saw the Mets make it look this easy in October? Never, bro, never!
They go into San Francisco, Oracle Park, the place is packed — forty-three thousand people, all expectin’ the Mets to choke — and what do they do? They put up NINE runs. Nine! The Giants couldn’t even breathe.
Alan Sloan, my god, this guy’s like Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby rolled into one for the series. He hits .667, he’s drivin’ in runs left and right, double after double. He’s the freakin’ MVP, no question. Mets don’t even sniff the NLCS without him.
And how about Rojas on the mound? Yeah, he gave up some hits, but he battled, he kept his composure. And then the bullpen — Morales, Gonzalez — shut it down. I was sittin’ there waitin’ for the implosion, waitin’ for the nightmare inning, but it never came, bro. It never came!
So here we are — the Mets are movin’ on to the freakin’ NLCS! We don’t know if it’s gonna be Pittsburgh or Cincinnati, but who cares? For once, the Mets took care of business. They didn’t collapse. They didn’t embarrass us. They freakin’ won, bro.
Ooohhh my god, dare I say it… this might finally be the year. Ohhhh, baby!”
