Game 1 of the National League Championship Series is still five (less by the time you read this) hours away, so I’ll try to fill that time by seeing what the Mets bloggers have to say:
*Matthew Cerrone of the aptly-named MetsBlog talks with Will Leitch, Deadspin.com editor and Cardinals partisan. Matthew asks will how the Mets should approach Albert Pujols, and Will says:
The best way to deal with Pujols is to not anger him.
On the real.
*Greg at Faith and Fear in Flushing applies his eponymous concept to the NLCS and takes a look back at the teams’ rivalry in the Pond Scum Era.
*Eric Simon at Viva El Birdos’ corporate brother Amazin’ Avenue does an alphabet-soup, head-to-head analysis of the teams’ lineups and starting pitchers.
*Andrew Hintz at MetsGeek plays devil’s advocate and gives a plain-English look at the Cardinals probable starters.
*Jaap Stijl at Archie Bunker’s Army says Mets in five.
