It really does feel like they finally got some measure of revenge on the Cardinals for the 06 NLCS. The symmetry was insane with 3 of the 4 key players from that game being involved. Wainwright gets roughed up. Beltran's blown call. Molina being the closest to getting a hit only to be robbed by Mike Baxter, who grew up in Queens as a Mets fan.

It would not surprise me in the least if the Mets induct Johan into the Mets Hall of Fame at some point down the line just for this. Once he leaves I could even see his number being retired, even if unofficially. This will always be one of my favorite sports moments of all time.
