The Mets lose
Well, they had a good year, and Oliver Perez apparently pitched well in Game 7, and the new Cardinal closer, Wainwright, has an absolutely vicious curveball.
What fascinates me is that the Mets won the Sixth Game (as in 1986) but lost the Seventh, while the Cardinals-Tigers series followed the exactly same pattern as 1968 . . . until the Tigers failed to rally in Game Five and lost. This shows that history does not always repeat itself. What this proves, I'm not sure, but somehow it is comforting.
