Don't like the idea to bring Familia in. Nobody else can get 3 outs with a 6 run lead?

Wow. Grandy is very well spoken. Not sure I ever heard him speak before.

JA better lock down his studio gig before Grandy retires.

Our Mets are definitely the surrogates for the Giants. They even wear orange like us.

For good reason. Do you remember the NY Giants logo they used in the mid/late 1950s (MLB Giants)?

Here's a pic :

And a pic of the NY Mets cap logo :

And there's a very good reason for the similarity.

They do indeed wear orange as an homage to the Giants. Unfortunately, they wear blue as an homage to the doyers.

Good find. It's too bad they're tainted by blue.

I read that the original owner of the Mets was thinking of going with a pink and black color scheme. Boy that would've been weird, but at least it wouldn't have been tainted by Dodger blue while still retaining a Giants color.

The Cubs are on the verge of clinching! Then again, the Cubs are on the verge of clinching in Wrigley. . . .

Who will guys root for the in the NLCS?

For me...
Cubs v dogs: Cubs
Cards v dogs: Cards
Cubs v Mets: Mets
Cards v Mets: Cards

Like I mentioned earlier, I respect the Cards, and I like that it has been only us and them for the last 5 years. I also like the story of the Cubs, so I dont want that story to end.

Agree with all but the bolded. I would go Cubs over Mets. And with the Cubs just clinching it, that's who I will root for in the NL. While I'm happy for the Cubs, I feel sort of bad for the Cardinals. They are too good of a team to get booted this early.

I just realized something...

If the Mets win the World Series, Bobby Bonilla gets a ring.

Not sure if someone mentioned this (not sure if it's actually real) .... someone said that in the original 'Back To The Future' ... they asked the person what he say in the future ... which was 2015 .... and they responded that the Cubs win the WS (or are in the WS) ....
