burn 2 of their best SPs today, making both of those pitchers unusable for the WC series.


And while the winner of the first game will be playing subs and pitching a call-up from the minors in the second game, they'd laugh all the way out of the stadium if they wound up winning with that combination. There's no love lost between these guys.


I keep hoping we'll see a soft toss for a homer on the opening pitch followed by all batters watching 70 MPH fastballs straight down the middle for strikes the rest of the game, and then swap up which team gets the homer in the second game, but the Mets are pretty ticked they have to play today. Their own fault, though, for losing two to the Brewers who had nothing to play for.
