I have a terrible feeling that the World Series is gonna be a sweep ( Detroit over ?) for the third year in a row. The ALCS was a sweep. Thank God for this awesome NLCS. By far, the best postseason series so far...

HUGE game by Maine tonight, he had great stuff. Some brilliant movement on his fastball and some decent off speed pitches had the Cards out in front. He only allowed 2 hits, and had just a few control issues...

The Mets pen ( except for Wagner) was solid again. Reyes is finally hitting for the Mets ( which is a must if the Mets are gonna advance and/or win in the Series). Green is hitting ( to make up for his fielding woes), and the Mets finally got something they were lacking over the past couple games- a clutch, two-out, run-scoring hit.

Loved that New rookie pitcher( John Maine) that started in Game six for the Mets. He looks like someone who can work under pressure. Will be interesting to see how he turns out.

John Maine can get the job done. I would have rather had him on the mound tonight instead of an unsteady, Oliver Perez.

The only con of Maine's performance was the number of jams he got himself into. But facing the Cardinals with Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds and Scott Spiezo is never an easy match-up.

I missed the 1st part of the game (looong day) but the last couple innings have been not much excitement, a pitchers duel.

1-1 going into the bottom of the 8th now.

Who'd have thought it come down to a pitcher's duel....in the National League this year!!

Cards v. Tigers.....again. This is the fifth (?) time these two will meet. I believe it was '34 & '35, then '67 & '68....am I missing any?
