You have to go in the way-back machine to two weeks ago — has it really only been two weeks? — to when we wondered if finishing poorly and blowing home-field advantage in the division series was going to doom the Mets.
Was it really just a week back that we were parsing what going 0-7 against the Cubs in the regular season meant?
This Mets’ postseason could be an episode of “Mythbusters,” as they exploded one theory after another about what matters this time of year. They have done so, however, by having one theory pass inspection, dissection and the bats of the Dodgers and Cubs.
