Carlos Beltran's game-winning hit helped the Mets rebound from Wednesday night3 games. Tied in the wild card. 1 game back in the division.
Last night's win was electrifying - one of those faith-restoring victories that made me excited for the coming weekend. If the Mets go on to make the playoffs, Ryan Church's game-tying slide in the 8th will be remembered as one of those bizarre plays that alters the course of a season at just the right time. Dude was dead to rights, and he found a way to slip into home plate under Koyie Hill's glove after somehow avoiding the lunging Cubs catcher while tip-toeing around the home plate dirt.
So can we pull it off? At the very least, we're going into a decisive weekend with momentum, as opposed to despair.
And I like that Johan - as opposed to Tom Glavine - will be pitching a potentially decisive last game of the season. Of course, we have to get there first. Fasten your seatbelts.
