It might be caused by subliminal comparison with HR, but Joe Buck has seemed pretty good to me this whole series.

Could be. I do think Joe is better though, maybe the last couple of years, than he used to be. The common denominator for the last two years is Harold though. "Oh yeah, you had surgery" he just said he said to Tulo when he saw Tulo doing strange stretching before a game. What a fool.E5 Yaz said:
He used to treat McCarver with a level of respect and even reverence with made him sound really douchey. He sort of chuckles at Harold and seems more inclined to inject his own opinion now.Al Zarilla said:

I thought McC did a good job back in the day with Steve Zabrisky and Ralph Kiner for the Mets, but man, he seemed to slip the last decade...
Gotta expect a win from Price tomorrow- he can't keep losing postseason games forever, can he?
Also, today is the anniversary of Roid Rage Roger throwing Piazza's broken bat at him? Classy.

Desperately rooting for a Game 7 here. These teams really don't like each other and players on both teams are rising to the challenge.
I like Price and the Jays tonight.
Also, note batter vs. Verntura:
- Joey Bats, 3 for 5, HR
- Donaldson, 1 for 6, HR

Wondering how much a game 7 would help the winner stay sharp, and possibly cool off the mets? 2007 Rockies on line one?

All things being equal I'd rather see the Blue Jays win the series. But thing's aren't equal; I don't want the Mets to win the World Series. Which team would be the tougher match up for the Mets? I'm thinking the Royals, but I'm far from an expert on these kind of things.
Honestly, I'm not sure anyone is beating them -- deGrom, Harvey, Thor with Familia in the pen is just a deadly combination in a short series.Papo The Snow Tiger said:
I guess you could hope the Royals play great defense and their bullpen protects 1-run leads, or you could hope the Jays hitters manage to get to them, but neither one feels all that likely to me.
Edit: Personally I'm rooting for the Jays because that's a great city and one of the best stadium atmospheres in the majors, and that team has had a flair for the dramatic all season. I'm rooting for Game 7s and extra innings and praying to delay the offseason as long as possible.
Will be interesting to see if Royals have any adjustments to Price, they were blanked in the first 6 before that Goins misplay.
I think for the Mets, it depends on how well their lineup holds up after this week off

A great pitcher handles something like the Goins misplay. De Grom was in and out of trouble all postseason but managed to pitch out of it. It will be interesting to see if Price can adjust to anything not going his way tonight.DeadlySplitter said:
The Mets are beatable. Murphy is going to wake up. The bridge to Familia can be shaky.dynomite said:
They're good and they're playing great. But either AL team will give them all they can handle.
Yeah, but if you could go back in time would you kill baby Hitler?Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:
There would be something sort of beautiful about Price losing again and then signing with the Cubs. His post-season record makes him a perfect Cub.
Theo is too smart to go there. Erod for Schwarmer is more likely - with some also rans thrown in.Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:
There was one pitching duel in the 2007 WS- Schill agains Jiminez. That was a good one. Paps picking off Holliday also.fineyoungarm said:
Marco Estrada was just interviewed on the Jays radio (MLB.TV app) and he sounds like a super nice guy. The interview was just so Canadian and light-hearted and polite.
Between Arod and Rose on the pregame and Reynolds on the broadcast I feel like I am being trolled.
