The emotions were high once again on a rainy night at Shea as the Metropolitan manage to stay alive in a must win game that was won in dramatic fashion.
It is never easy if your a Met fan even when they win a game where every inning is like a playoff pressure bubble waiting to explode right in face. But this time it was the Mets who exploded for 4 runs to come back and win a game that looked like another tough lost when Cubs farmhand Micah Hoffpaiur ripped his 2nd HR of the game to give the Cubs a 6 to 3 lead in 7th. At that point in the game, one starts to wonder about another lost opportunity that the Mets had delivered their fans for the 2nd year in a row, on the final season at Shea.
But on this night the bad memories from last year were put on hold when Carlos Beltran's game winning hit in the 9th, gave the fans some hope for October baseball.
The season is now down to 3 games with the Mets now tied in the Wildcard with the Brewers, and just 1 game behind the division leading Phillies. It's never was meant to be easy for the Mets fans who have endure so much pain even when they win.
Playoff baseball will continue tonight when the Mets will try to start the last series of the season, weather permitting, with the Florida Marlins in town.
Just like the Yankees had done a week ago, the Mets get ready to close out Shea for the last time, this weekend. Hopefully, it will all end with some happy times instead of the jeers and tears.
