Wendy and Marci ready themselves for the game ahead.

The Mets' journey to the National League Championship Series

was tempestuous. The team lost seven games in a row at the end

of the season, falling below the Reds for the Wild Card bearth.

They then won the last three games of the season, evening up

the numbers before walking away a victory in the one-game playoff

in Cincinatti. Now they were one game away from elimination.

And now they had to face Atlanta pitcher John Smoltz.
