00:00Why don't we start, though, by quickly looking back at last night.
00:06We mentioned it at the top of Coast to Coast, but the Mets beat the Brewers 4-2 last night
00:11in Milwaukee.
00:12We know the scene going into the top of the ninth, down 2-0 in this game.
00:17They get a walk from Francisco Lindor.
00:19They get a base hit from Brandon Nimmo.
00:22And then, yes, the polar bear, Scottie, Pete Alonso, the call from Howie, Mets Radio 880.
00:283-1 to Alonso.
00:30William sets.
00:31Here's the pitch.
00:32Swing and a fly ball to right field.
00:35Pretty well hit.
00:36Feel it back at the wall.
00:37He jumps.
00:38It's gone.
00:39He did it.
00:40He did it.
00:41Pete Alonso with the most memorable home run of his career.
00:42Pumps as fast as he rounds second.
00:43It's a three-run homer.
00:44He's given the Mets a 3-2 lead.
00:45They all pour out of the dugout.
00:46Alonso on his way to home plate.
00:47They're waiting for him.
00:48He hits the plate.
00:49He is first down.
00:51There are a dozen Mets waiting for him outside the dugout.
01:02Pete Alonso keeps this fairy tale season going with a fairy tale swing of his career.
01:17Free to tune in.
01:18That's how you call a baseball game in New York.
01:21How he gave you everything you wanted.
01:24I mean, down to him touching the plate on that one.
01:28What a moment for the Mets.
01:29Of course, they added one on as well.
01:314-2 was the final.
01:33As you watched the wink man smash that helmet
01:36and the pieces of it go all over the field
01:39when he touched home with that fourth run.
01:41Here is Alonzo Scotti saying what has been said for weeks here.
01:45The Mets are a very special group that have a little something right now.
01:48It means the world.
01:50It doesn't matter if it's me or somebody else.
01:55I know that everybody in that clubhouse
01:59and I know everybody in our organization,
02:02we have each other's backs.
02:03That's a part of the fabric why we've been able to bounce back
02:07and earn a playoff spot and then move on to the next level.
02:11All of us have each other's backs.
02:13That's who we are as an organization.
02:16That's who we are as a team.
02:18That's our identity.
02:19We have everyone's back and fully supportive.
02:23Everybody's in it together.
02:26It's a really special group.
02:30How far we've come this year from earlier this year,
02:33not a lot of people thought we'd be at this spot right now.
02:36It's just really special to move on the way we have.
02:41Are you going to cry?
02:43Yeah, I'm going to cry too.
02:45Today it was me.
02:46Tomorrow it will be somebody else.
02:47They are – you just can't get rid of them.
02:51They just keep winning.
02:53That Monday doubleheader game one, up 6-3 after being down 3-0, up 6-3,
02:59down 7-6, up win 8-7, and then you go to Milwaukee win, then you lose,
03:06then you win on a three-run homer in the ninth inning from the polar bear
03:10on a home run in a month.
03:12You got to be kidding me.
03:13They just won't go away.
03:15They're like an ex-wife.
03:16I mean, my God, the Mets, they are for real,
03:19and the Phillies better be ready on Saturday because they're coming.
03:22And they've been balling, and you do not want to play them.
03:25And the Phillies have been laying around, taking pictures, signing autographs,
03:30stretching, spitting, grabbing their onions.
03:34I am telling you, they don't want any part of this team right now.
03:37It's going to be Mets on Saturday showing up and punching them right in the mouth.
03:41I'm not afraid of Wheeler or anybody.
03:43Let's go.
03:45Remember, we mentioned this the other day.
03:47You know, they've only been in this format for a couple years.
03:49Last year, three of the teams that had the buy
03:52and sat around for the division round lost to teams that won in the wild card round.
03:58So it has happened a lot.
04:00Before I move on to tomorrow, let's at least finish last night.
04:03I mean, we always got to be – it's very emotional when you lose a game like that.
04:07And Devin Williams, the closer for the Brewers, very unlucky for him.
04:11No, I'm not going to make any excuses.
04:14I didn't execute the way I needed to, and they got the job done, and I didn't.
04:19Do you feel like you have been to our weak checks lately?
04:23No, no.
04:26What emotions are you feeling right now?
04:28Oh, I feel great.
04:30I mean, it's a lot of disappointment, you know.
04:33We worked all year to get to this point.
04:37They got me to run lead there in the ninth, you know.
04:41That's how we draw it up, and I couldn't come through for the boys.
04:44So, you know, no one feels worse than I do.
04:48You lose.
04:49Just unlucky.
04:50You lose.
04:51That's how it goes, right?
04:52You lose, Milwaukee.
04:53You lose.
04:54That is what we always say.
04:56You lose.
05:03You lose.
