00:00Well, the Mets had a little bit of fight in them last night,

00:02although once again, it didn't start great.

00:06And boy, oh boy, before they knew it, they were in a big hole.

00:10We had a five-run lead for the Cubs last night,

00:14and then the wheels kind of started to fall off,

00:16and you got to be scoreboard watching

00:18because they already knew late in the night there

00:21that the Reds earlier had already lost to the Pirates somehow,

00:24but they were able to get it done late

00:27with a two-run Alvarez home run there,

00:29late in the game, they were able to hold on,

00:32and they got it done 9-7,

00:34and now in many aspects control their own destiny once again here, George.

00:39That noise you heard from New York was everybody exhaling.

00:45Boy, did they need that.

00:47All right, that was 6-1 at one time.

00:49Peterson, who might have been your opening playoff rally on SP1,

00:53got shellacked again.

00:55I don't know whose thoughts are the best.

00:56Probably McClain at this point, but they came back.

00:58They won the game.

00:59Now they can relax a little bit.

01:01I do wonder, Joe, if this is that, all right, we're going to be okay.

01:04All right, now if they get back on,

01:05I'm not saying they're going to win the last five games,

01:07but if they're going to go back to being a normal baseball team

01:09and not choking it up here.

01:11We'll see tonight, by the way, because Boyd's going for Chicago.

01:14He's going up against Tong there,

01:15one of those youngsters the Mets called up along McClain and Sprout.

01:18So it won't be easy for them.

01:21But I think the Cubs are a barrage, by the way.

01:23I don't think they're a very good team.

01:24You know, that pitching staff, not very good.

01:26So I think the Mets have a chance to at least take two out of three here.

01:29Then they play Miami over the weekend.

01:31We'll see if Miami still has anything to play for.

01:33They pretty much need to win out that any chance at anything.

01:36And they're playing the Phillies, of course, here.

01:37But I think the Mets now, where they might have been gripping that bet real tight, Joe,

01:42can relax a little bit.

01:43Now, you'll want a game.

01:44It's okay.

01:45We're going to be all right.
