Here's a pitch on the way,

breaking baII over caIIed strike.

Jose appeared to be taking...

Put your hands up there

where l can see them.

He had a bunt hit in the opening game

of the series.

And the pitch is thrown outside and high.

Ball two.

Jose seemed to be swinging away,

but wiseIy he Iaid off.

Now David behind,

and the count two and one.

Up by seven runs,

David just wants to throw strikes.

Nothing's been reaI easy

for either team in the series.

Cone into the windup. Bunted!

HandIed easiIy, though. Throw to first base.

Gie me a light.

And now the Mets need just one more out.

You know, on the repIay, you can see

that baII bounce right on the pIate,

making for the easy pIay.

A lot like Coleman's hit in the fourth,

but Coleman's ball must've gone

Now it's going to be Lenny Harris

representing the Dodgers' finaI hope.

Harris, at .225...

Hold it.

You want some good sh*t?

-Yeah.

-Pitch thrown to Len Harris.

Swing and a miss. Strike one.

Harris, Iike many of these Dodgers,

came out on fire when the series opened,

but seems to have just disappeared.

f course, Met pitching has had a lot to do

with that disappearance.

In the cIutch,

the Mets pitchers just couId not be denied.

Mets are now aII standing

on the dugout steps in anticipation.

Pitch thrown is ball one.

Lenny Harris thought about it, he Iaid off.

And the count's even at one and one.

At this point, weII,

it looks like the Met fans...

Put your hand up there where l can see it.

...here at Dodger Stadium.

You can see pockets of Met rooters

aII around the stadium,

and they're aIready ceIebrating.

FouI baII coming back and out of pIay.

Now David Cone...

-Gie me a light.

-...needs one more strike

to compIete the most amazing comeback

in pIayoff history.

I'II never forget the '86 championship

against the Astros,

but this one has to be the best.

veryone, but everyone,

had counted the Mets out,

and now they're just one strike away

from winning it aII.

You know, this whoIe thing

is reaIIy unbeIievabIe.

Here we go. ne and two the count.

Cone has his sign.

The windup and the pitch on the way.

Strike three called! The Mets win it.

Harris doesn't Iike it, but it's aII over.

The Mets have won the championship,

and the Mets are the first team ever

to come back from a 3-0 deficit

to win a playoff or a World Series.

The Mets are on the field.

Jeff Torborg in the middIe,

a very happy man.

What a job he's done for the team.

-Out the door.

-Dwight Gooden gets the victory

with an aid and assist from David Cone

in the eighth and ninth innings.

WeII, you can't beIieve it.

The Mets are going on to the World Series.

The Mets make history.

Not onIy have they won

the National League Championship Series

with this 8-1 victory over Los AngeIes,

they've become the first team

to come back from the brink of eIimination,

down three games to none,

and win the series

by taking four straight games.

I'd say that that's highIy impossibIe,

but it's possibIe. They've done it.

This miracIe comeback stands side by side,

in the annaIs of this team,

with aII the expIoits

of the 1969 Miracle Mets

and their World Series Championship,

and the 1986 World Series win over Boston.

You raped a holy thing.

You destroyed that young girl,

and she forgies you.

You hear that? She forgies you.

You f***ing heroes.

You like holding her down

and shoing your dick into her

while she couldn't do nothing about it?

Did you like that?

Watch this, motherf***er.

Here. Watch this, you cocksucker!

Look at that.

You can't do a thing about that, can you?

Can you? Look at me.

Can you? Can you, f***-face? Can you?

Go ahead. Moe.

Moe, you cocksucker. Moe.

l'd like to blow your f***ing face apart.

You f***ing scumbags.

And she forgies you.

How could she forgie that?

How could she forgie

you slimy little bastards?

How could she forgie a thing like that?

AII passengers westbound,

Los Angeles, San Diego, now boarding.

Attention, passengers.

Last call for southbound

l-95 Scenic Cruiser.

All aboard.

lf you think you're not getting on this bus,

you're dead wrong, man.

There's no f***ing way

that you're going to miss this bus.

You get on this f***ing bus, man,

'cause your life ain't worth sh*t in this town.

Hey, cop!
