Who says the Mets aren't playoff material?

           Well, whoever has ever doubted the Mets should watch game 3 of the NLDS vs the Dodger. The Mets offensive team was on fire. Many may think it was an answer back to Chase Utley unsportmen slide into Ruben Tejada in Game 2. Utley took out Tejada and broke his leg. Fans chanted, “UT-LEY SUCKS” and “WE WANT UT-LEY” at last night’s game to show their anger towards him.
            Mets lead off the bottom of the 2nd with a single from Travis D’Arnaud that brought Cesepedes in and Duda to second, followed by Curtis Granderson’s double to deep right center bringing d’Arnaud, Wilmer Flores and Juan Lagares home. This inning was an important one for the Mets who now took the lead 4-3 over the Dodgers. D’Arnaud hit a homer to left field and Cesepedes scored in the 3rd. In the 4th, Murphy singled to left bringing Lagares home and Wright to second. Cesepedes then hit a homer to left leaving Wright and Murphy to score. Mets ended their scoring in the 7th with Conforto’s hit to center that lead d’Arnaud home, Flores to third and Lagares to second. This was followed by Granderson’s double to left bringing Flores and Lagares home. Flores followed by Lagares and Granderson was the main line of the night. They all scored off each other twice during the game. The offensive part of last night’s team was incredible…best all season.

            The Mets will need to bring this energy into their next game. With plays that they made in that game clearly proves they have what it takes to go all the way. Maybe this will be the year for the New York Mets.
