Series Thread: World Series: Mets and Royals

[Used 2 B Hu]

I demand they not take 47 minutes to do the pre-game BS tonight...first pitch should be happening at 8:07, not introduction of the second assistant to the grounds keeper

I read where Andy Reid offered his support to the Royals

Talk about the Kiss of Death.

No idea how it turns out but I feel like this is an unbelievably even matchup. I expect Murphy to cool off a bit but the question is who will step up to pick up that slack?

I believe I said it in another thread, the one thing that worries me is the Royals had the best team batting average against pitchers that averaged over 94+ mph. Mets will need to beat them with their secondary pitches. Murphy and Flores need to be on their A game defensively since KC puts everything in play.

Wright? Duda? Both need to step up their games and can't depend on Murphy. The Royals can hit any pitch and are patient... Should go 7... I'll pick the Mets

It amazes me how many fanbases hate Joe Buck. Without him, it'd be Harold Reynolds and nobody wants that.

I think I'm actually taking the Mets in 7 and a series with a good amount of offense.
