NEW YORK -- Wednesday night, after the Giants beat the Mets in the NL Wild Card Game (SF 3, NY 0), I heard one fan say something to another fan as folks filed out of Citi Field that stuck out to me.

"Familia is a great regular season closer, but not a great postseason closer," said that fan.

Familia took the loss Wednesday night when he allowed, in order, a double (Brandon Crawford), a strikeout (Angel Pagan), a walk (Joe Panik), and a three-run home run (Conor Gillaspie) in the ninth inning.
