NEW YORK -- Sure, the New York Mets have to face Madison Bumgarner in the National League wild-card game Wednesday.Well, Mets manager Terry Collins noted, the San Francisco Giants have to face Noah Syndergaard. So they should have their hands full, too.Syndergaard (2.60) finished third in the majors in ERA, followed by Bumgarner (2.74) at fourth.Its the big leagues. Youre going to face great pitching in the postseason, Collins said. I know theyre in their clubhouse saying, Wow, weve got to face Syndergaard. It should be a great game. ... Theyre a great team. They had a rough second half. Everybody knows that. But theyre very talented. I know theyre probably banged up a little bit like we are.Syndergaard originally was slated to start Sundays game against the Philadelphia Phillies if it turned out to be meaningful, but instead he threw a bullpen session at Citizens Bank Park and focused on preparing for Wednesday.Syndergaard and Bumgarner squared off at Citi Field on May 1 in a 6-1 victory by the Giants. Syndergaard allowed four runs in 5? innings and surrendered a two-run homer to Hunter Pence in that game, while Bumgarner tossed six scoreless innings.Syndergaard rebounded to toss eight scoreless innings in a 2-0 win against the Giants on Aug. 21 at AT&T Park. Bumgarner allowed four runs -- all on a grand slam by the now-injured Justin Ruggiano -- in five innings in a no-decision earlier in that series. Bumgarner also homered against Jacob deGrom in that game.Its funky. [Bumgarner] is stepping at you and coming from behind you, Mets infielder Kelly Johnson said of the left-handers delivery. ... The man can pitch. Hes almost like a DH in the lineup, too. So weve got to worry about that. His track record speaks for itself.I dont think I have to sit here and talk about how good he is. Its going to be a tough game. Its going to be fun. I think being at Citi Field -- for us, winning the home field -- cant be stressed enough because thats a big swing in advantage for us, [and] not having to travel across the country, too.Said Collins: If you get balls to hit, you better hit them. Because if you let him get ahead of you, youre in trouble.The Mets revived their season during that mid-August series at San Francisco.After losing the opening two games at AT&T Park, the Mets had dropped to 60-62 and had fallen 5? games behind the Cardinals for the second wild-card spot. However, Yoenis Cespedes and Asdrubal Cabrera returned from the disabled list during that series and the Mets took off, winning the final two games in San Francisco and ultimately going 27-13 to close the regular season.Cespedes had three homers in the two games he played against the Giants in that series.The Mets have posted the best record in the majors since Aug. 20, buoyed not only by Cespedes and Cabreras returns but by the performances of rookie right-handers Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman.We started to get our pieces back. Theres no question, Collins said, reflecting on the series in San Francisco. We knew we had to hold it together while they were out, and we did. We didnt win as many as we wanted, but we still competed. And when we started getting our pieces back, we knew we were going to be OK. Those young pitchers really helped us finish it off.Cespedes right quadriceps continues to nag him, although he minimized the injury Sunday.I think after I came back, the whole team collectively started to improve, Cespedes said through an interpreter. And I think thats why we are where were at now. I feel good. I think Im ready physically and Im ready mentally. Thats the most important thing.Discount Air Max Sale .

Wholesale Air Max . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.Perth hat-trick hero Andy Keogh insists coach Kenny Lowes two-game ban will have no impact on the A-League teams performances against Brisbane and Western Sydney.Lowe will be banished to the stands at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday and nib Stadium the weekend after for his referee bust-up in Friday nights 3-2 win over Melbourne City.The famously zealous 54-year-old was sent to the bleachers for the second half over his heated altercation with referee Alan Milliner following the half-time whistle, when City had just equalised through a penalty much to the vexation of Glory players.While Lowe claimed to be the peacemaker in the incident, saying he only went on to the pitch to remove his players from the field, the match review panel did not see it that way.Vice-captain Keogh was unfazed after his coach accepted the sanction on Wednesday, saying the players were in complete control of their own destiny.He does all the stuff on training pitch and prepares us that way, Keogh said.Once we cross the line were supposed to do what were told.And hes got his assistant manager there and experienced pplayers around him.ddddddddddddWe all chip in.Lowe had until lunchtime on Wednesday to appeal but opted against it.I admit my actions at half-time last Friday night were unacceptable and I apologise for the way I behaved, FFA quoted him as saying.I know that I should be better. I feel like I have let everyone down at the club, especially my players, staff and our supporters.Though Lowe was remorseful to the governing body, Keogh said there was no reason for him to apologise to the playing group.He gives everything on the training pitch and on game day, he said.Passion runs high, especially with him - hes a joy to watch.It was a passionate game, he wanted to win and we move on.Keogh described his outstanding hat-trick against Citys star-studded team as nice but was more keen on focusing on what the second-placed side can improve on.We just need to be more consistent and make sure away form is on point, he said.Because we know at home we can be devastating.
