Bases loaded again. Better get more than a run.

Endy Chavez has been one of those guys all year, clutching hitter who has done all the little things. And so has Jose Valentin, whose pretty little bunt ended going for an infield hit.

This game has been about the little guys so far, which is what makes this team so dangerous.

I am a Mets fan, which means I am by nature a pessimist. I watch Tom Glavine run five innings of shutout ball in game two of the playoffs, after a season in which my team won 97, and I am aprehensive — when will it happen?

But the Mets are executing. They make few mistakes. And now they have two on and Glavine drops a perfect bunt (one of the prettiest plays in all of baseball) and there are two in scoring position.

So the Dodgers opt to walk Jose Reyes, load the bases for Paul LoDuca with one out with the bashers coming up and the pitcher being changed.

Stay tuned.
