WS GAME thread: NYM vs. KC

[Mugsy's Jock]

If the Mets lose, does Terry Collins lose his job? Between the Harvey thing and Cespedes, both are huge non-moves in this game. Or is that too extreme? 

Too extreme.  
 
Collins isn't exactly Bill Belichick or anything, but the Mets did reach the World Series after having no offense for half the year and enduring that whole Carlos Gomez/Wilmer Flores fiasco.  It's been a very successful year for the Mets, who substantially exceeded expectations before this week.  Collins earns at least some credit for that.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

Glad Wright is giving himself enough time to pump the ball twice before his throws to first. Just in case.

Very much doubt he loses his job. He may need to go on suicide watch for letting Harvey change his mind for him. In the dugout shots, Collins looks like he's about to vomit.

 

[Gdiguy]

 
They can choose not to pick up his option. I would seriously consider it because the Mets are the Royals a year ago.

 
I don't love him, but to be honest I think they can do a lot worse

Why would Rob Ford be presenting if Toronto didn't win?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Sorry Joe.  Between football, The Walking Dead and whatever kids are looking at on the 'Gram and Snapchat, only us diehards and old fogeys are watching this game on TV.

 

[soxhop411]

KFC is creeping me out.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Sorry Joe.  Between football, The Walking Dead and whatever kids are looking at on the 'Gram and Snapchat, only us diehards and old fogeys are watching this game on TV.

He didn't say it until the NFL went to bed.

Granderson homer?

 

[glasspusher]

Doesn't hurt to be a west coast old fogey either

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

He didn't say it until the NFL went to bed.

And with it most of America too as its 11:45 pm ET.  This game will likely pull just average ratings.

 

[hbk72777]

Hey, everybody got an extra hour of sleep last night, no excuses

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

We are Sleepless here in Seattle, you may already know.

 

[dynomite]

I feel like we need Harry Doyle to incredulously mention how many hits the Mets have tonight.

They make it hard for fringe sports to climb back in, don't they.

 

[rembrat]

One more time, Murph. Do it for Jesus.

 

[hbk72777]

Broncos won again?
 
Why do I keep reading articles that Manning is finished?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Shipping Up To Boston at a Met game?  Makes perfect sense.

 

[Remagellan]

It is amazing how anytime a Met hits the ball at a Royal you expect an out, while anytime a Royal hits a ball at a Met you expect the opposite.  

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

 
I don't love him, but to be honest I think they can do a lot worse

Well, yeah, as long as Valentine is still out there.  Shouldn't be difficult for them to do better, though.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh my god, Harold Reynolds.  You might be making me hate baseball.
 
"This 2-1 is the pitch of the at bat to me.  It's either gonna be 3-1, 2-2, an out, or a hit."
 
I wish I could drink on the job, too.

Did the Dropkicks record anything else?

I think that's his walk up music.

 

[glasspusher]

Man, when I watch a foul ball, I'm thinking, "can't they tell it's in the stands?", but when I'm playing, I'm looking for any excuse to chase something.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Up until tonight, he's been terrible and his D has carried him. Tonight he looked revived. We'll see.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Because free pot is better than free cheese.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I'm tired.
