Preference: Dodgers or Mets?

[ElTexan]

I say Mets since we went 7-0 versus this year.
My friend says that Mets, with Cespedes, are a different team since we played them and that Dodgers will have their starters not lined up like them want.
I say that seeing Kershaw twice and Greinke once or twice is not what we want.

What say you?

I know the mets are different than the team that the cubs went 7-0 against, have the young stars that are unpredictable, it would be a fun series. I just have a guy I consider a friend in LA that would love to go see the cubs in the NLCS. Also, beating the Dodgers would be taking out another giant like the Cards, even though they are really more of a money giant. Would like to see Jake face Grienke and settle the cy young argument, even though the decision is already made.

Kershaw threw better last game, but is still 2-6 or 7 in the playoffs.

Yeah, the friend I know who is the biggest baseball fan besides me is a lifelong Doyers fan.

I think Jake faces Kershaw in Game 1, though, since Greinke pitches tonight.

well, its the mets. Getting some flak with Maddon not starting with Jake game one, he will not be available for a game 5 now. If the cubs go up 2-0 he looks like a genius, but needing to go with back to back or Hendricks and Hammel is worrysome to me.

Have they announced he won't be available for 5, or are you just assuming?

I am saying there is a better chance for him to pitch game 5 and 7 if necessary if he starts game 1. I dont think there is any chance Jake gets a game 5 after starting game 2 and Lester is no good on short rest. Change this to giving Jake game 6 and it takes him out of game 7.

I have backed Hendricks all year, last half season too, but Hendricks and Hammel in three and four is a chance for big momentum for NY since Maddon pulls them out early like a prom date.
