Game 6 was turning into another one of those great games but the team just ran out of steam in the 11th.
And the Braves had a similar psychological hold on the Mets at that time. Winning 4 in a row to your arch-enemy is tough, winning 4 in a row to your arch-enemy when the arch-enemy has such a psychological advantage is near impossible.
of course, I hope the Sox pull it off.
