Series Thread: World Series: Mets and Royals

[Used 2 B Hu]

Mets deserve a lot of credit for hanging tough in three games with these guys, and actually winning game 3. It's pretty remarkable

What?

You've been winning most of the series and have found ways to lose.

I don't understand this take at all.

Hosmer takes off

every truthful royals fan is screaming "no no no no, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I can honestly say I did not. It's the right play. I thought he maybe could have gotten a little further from the base, he's a much better athlete than Wright at this point.

Ridiculous. then you're just fucking nuts.

He was out by a mile. It took an awful throw of epic proportions to be safe.

It was only slightly better chances than sending Gordon in game 7 last year.

NYM should win the early innings with their starting pitching, but it's a 9-inning game, and the Royals have a huge advantage in the field.

Doing the early shift for all of November......Had plans to go to sleep once Harvey closed them out in the 9th. Now they're going to have me up much later than I wanted

So the Mets have been 4 outs, 5 outs and 3 outs from wins and Royals have stormed back each time.

Yep

All KC has to do is keep it close and get to the opponents bullpen.

But they should have won games 1, 4 and this one. That's his point.

No, I've just been paying attention. The Mets infield has choked repeatedly under pressure. Make Duda make that throw under pressure. If he does, the series goes back to KC. He didn't.

That was strike 3

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

get em on

get em over

get em in


LGM!!!

Why should they have won game one? They were only ahead because of an uncharacteristic error by Hosmer, a much better fielder than, well, anyone in the Mets' infield.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Believe it or not.....
I'm still believin'

Ya Gotta.

 

[black francis]

That was strike 3

At least it was based on how he was calling it earlier

These moving strike zones are pissing me off

Flores...take a pitch!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

sheeesh...Flores with another "stellar" AB.....

Because they got the game to their closer with the lead. Teams should win when they do so and usually do. This postseason, the Mets have been unable to.
