Ohhh my God… Mets fans, can you believe this? Can you believe this? They do it again! The Amazins’, the defending champs, they come back in the bottom of the ninth at Citi Field and just rip the heart outta the Cincinnati Reds. Six-five, the final. The Mets now take a 2–0 stranglehold on this best-of-five.
And lemme tell ya somethin’, bro—this was vintage Mets October baseball. Not perfect, not clean, plenty of nervous moments—you had Pineda givin’ up nine hits, five runs in six innings, you’re sweatin’ it out, the bullpen’s gotta bail ‘em out—but in the end? In the end the Mets show why they’re the best team in baseball, maybe one of the best ever, bro.
And Ricardo freakin’ Contreras—can I say enough about this guy? Three hits, the walk-off double in the ninth. Place is goin’ bananas, bro! This guy is an absolute stud. You can’t pitch around ‘em, you can’t get ‘em out, he’s been unconscious all postseason.
And how about the Reds? They had this game. They trailed 2-0 and 4-2, they come back in the sixth and seventh to take a 5–4 edge, and you’re thinkin’ “Okay, here we go, maybe we’ve got a series.” And then the Reds bullpen… I mean, Plascencia comes in, gives it up in the ninth. I mean, you just knew it. You just knew it, bro. They had no shot once Contreras came up.
So now the Mets head to Cincinnati up two games to none. It’s over. It’s over. I don’t wanna hear it—it’s over, bro. The Reds had their chance today, they blew it, and now this Mets team is rollin’.
Mets fans… enjoy it, baby. Another magical October night in Flushing.
