To me the Mets lost that game in the bottom of the 6th inning.

After Chavez robs the Cards of a two run homer and then doubles Edmunds off for the double play, the momentum shifted big time in the Mets favor. Now you MUST come up to bat after a huge play like that and score some runs. The Mets get loaded bases, and in doing so the Cards have a horrible throwing error. You MUST get a run or two across the plate at that point. My feeling is that if you do get a run or two across the plate after robbing the Cards of a two run homer, and their comitting a throwing error, you bury the Cards mentally. You have them talking to themselves. But unfortunately the Mets could NOT get a run across the plate and in my opinion they gave the momentum right back to the Cards after failing to score.

Congrats to all the Cardinal fans out there.
