For all the praise and accolades given to Kershaw and Greinke over the past few days (and deservedly so, as the back of their baseball cards can attest to), neither one of them has done much when it comes to postseason play, especially 3-time Cy Young award winner Kershaw. who's pitched in 11 playoff games (51 innings) and has a 5.12 ERA to show for it. Greinke has slightly less playoff experience, yet has still be pretty average in 7 games, 44.2 innings overall and a 3.63 ERA. Neither one of them has pitched in a World Series and considering that they're both aces who've each posted very pedestrian numbers during their teams division and championship series, you can point to each of them as being a huge reason why. In other words, the postseason is NOT the regular season and Met fans may want to keep that in mind this weekend.
