NEW YORK _ It's so easy to ask, "What if?"
What if the Mets had kept any one of two leads they had on Thursday? What if the game had stopped in the top of the ninth, when the rain first started coming down _ before Edwin Diaz gave up the two game-tying runs? And what if play had resumed that very night, instead of 19 hours later?
But the truth is, no matter how much the Mets may like to wonder, it doesn't matter.
