Mets 5, Brewers 4: Too bad the Mets couldn't hit like this off Jeff Suppan in last year's playoffs. They got three home runs -- from David Wright, Carlos Delgado and Damion Easley -- and beat the pitcher who shut them down while with the Cardinals last October.

Not everyone was forunate enough to score Game 7 tickets, or didn't want to spend 4x the ticket price for them. Instead we are here with friends live blogging the Cardnials vs Mets!

After a disheartening 4-2 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday in which they couldn't solve Jeff Weaver or the Cardinals bullpen, the Mets head home needing both games to win the series. To make matters worse, their Game 6 starter is the sometimes-shaky John Maine,......

The righty gave up five runs without getting an out in the second inning, and his Mets trail the Cardinals two games to one in this best-of-seven National League Championship Series. Things were so bad for Trachsel he allowed a homer to Cardinals starter Jeff Suppan, who stifled the......
