Mets Survive Game Six Behind Strong Outing by Rookie John Maine

by @ 2:15 am. Filed under 2006 NLCS

I’ll be honest with you, I was really worried here.  The Cardinals had their ace, and the Mets had John Maine, who appears to have a bright future but who I thought might be over his head.  I guess this is why they play the games.

Maine was nothing short of phenomonal.  He threw 5 1/3 shutout innings and allowed the Mets to take a lead with their two early runs.  Then the National League’s best bullpen did the job at least until the ninth inning when Billy Wagner gave everyone a scare by giving up two runs.  Fortunately the Mets had four by then and the two runs the Cardinals scored only got them half way.

Jose Reyes gave the Mets a very early run when he led off the game for the Mets with a homerun.  Shawn Green singled home Carlos Beltran in the fourth inning and then Paul Lo Duca came through huge with a two run single in the seventh inning.

Now, it’s all up to Oliver Perez.  I can’t believe I just wrote that.  Jeff Suppan throws for the Cardinals.  It’s win or go home time.
