The deeper game 7 of the NLCS went, the more nail biting it got for the fans. Specifically the 5th inning when Oliver Perez got into a jam, did we think it was time for Willie Randolph to get to the bullpen. Things didn't go as planned, but we did witness one of the most incredible post season plays of all time.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): A year ago the Mets were the talk of the offseason, with Steve Cohen flexing his financial might to help get the New York fan base feeling pretty good about themselves. But things didn't go as planned, along came David Stearns and now the vibe is certainly ... different. The Athletic's Tim Britton joins Rob Bradford to reflect on how things have changed over the last year and how the Mets should be viewed with spring training right around the corner.
