WS GAME thread: NYM vs. KC

[Gdiguy]

It's nice of Terry to give Reed a chance to blow a game as well as Clippard did, to complete the full picture of their shitty bullpen

 

[glasspusher]

 
heh, thanks... I'm not actually leaving until then end, but my hope is gone

 
Yeah- hey man, always willing to give a nod to a classy fan of any team.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Squeeze another run home just for fun.

 

[soxhop411]

How many death threats does Murphy get tomorrow?

20

 

[canderson]

Hey rembrat, abut that KC in 5 prediction you disputed ...

 

[soxhop411]

Power and light district?

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Mets pitchers stopped pitching up in the zone

 

[budcrew08]

20

at least.

 

[Gene Conleys Plane Ticket]

What a total meltdown. Mets are not exactly a mentally tough team. Yes, give KC credit, they are a relentless and deep team. But the Mets could have won this series if they weren't such a bunch of boneheads.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

Power and light district?

It's a commercial development in downtown KC full of bars and restaurants.

Either way it was a hell of a season for your boys. Just getting to this point is a big deal. Mets still have a bright future with all of that pitching.

All the people shitting on the Mets are overlooking one thing.  This Royals team is excellent.  Their line-up is sick (in a 2015, grind-out ABs type of way), their starters are just good enough, their defense is damn good and their bullpen is filthy.  If this score holds up, the Mets didn't lose this series.  The Royals flat out won it.

It's no disrespect to the Royals to point out that the Mets made epic blunders.

Yes, the Royals had to take advantage, but let's not pretend that the Meta didn't blow three games.

Congrats?

Do I put that on the quiz for my class on Tues?

 Sure KC is good but how many errors have the Mets made?  And some bad plays not credited with errors.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Davis threw two innings last night. More runs here would be huge.

 

[Gdiguy]

For anyone new to the Mets - this is actually their IMPROVED defense from earlier in the year, when they were running Murphy at 3b and Flores at 2b

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Power and light district?

Its where the power and the light comes from

 

[glasspusher]

wow, seats clearing out like there's a fire

 

[Murderer's Crow]

And the flood gates open.

 

[glasspusher]

holy cow

 

[canderson]

Piling on.

 

[MikeM]

Wow

 

[Luis Taint]

What a team

 

[singaporesoxfan]

 
This is true but people keep saying this and taking credit from the Royals. They have capitalized in every situation they can.

 
Also the Royals' style of play is precisely the kind that created these situations in the first place.

 

[rembrat]

Another ball clanks off Murphy's glove. 

 

[LogansDad]

Holy shit.
 
I'm glad I'm not a Mets fan right now.  

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Time to beat the traffic.

 

[strek1]

Now they should REALLY head to the exits.

 

[hbk72777]

It's so awkward losing at home.
 
At least if this was KC, The Mets could walk off the field and got home

 

[glasspusher]

Murph might be a homophobe, but George Brett is friends with Rush Limbaugh

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

So who's getting the MVP? Hosmer ?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This was a pretty good WS for a 5 game series
 
Could have been 7 easily though, too bad.

 

[canderson]

Congrats?

Just fucking with ya.

Poor Mets fans.

 

[patinorange]

Either way it was a hell of a season for your boys. Just getting to this point is a big deal. Mets still have a bright future with all of that pitching.

No. It will be at least 20 years before they get there again. They are doomed and cursed. They sold their soul in 86.

 

[Average Reds]

I'll say this. The Royals understand the concept of stepping on the neck.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Yost might make some bad in game decisions but his is a very well coached team.

 

[glasspusher]

here's the chance for the KC fans there to get better seats

 

[Fratboy]

Power and light district?

 
Yup. It's a thing. My corporate office is located there, and I've spent a good deal of time there. Lots of chains (Gordon Biersch, etc.,) and a ridiculously high sales/meal tax rate, like 12%.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

One Colon good...one Colon bad...a proctologist's dream

 

[paulb0t]

I guess no more baseball, so that's too bad. I never had a horse in this race, but holy christ have the Mets looked miserable when it counted.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Gomes is magical

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

So who's getting the MVP? Hosmer ?

Ventura

 

[Murderer's Crow]

Anyone here who was rooting for the Mets to win has a really really really bright side.
 
Francesa tomorrow will be one of the best 4 hours of the year.

 

[Jordu]

What a team. When the pressure was on, the Royals stayed calm and did everything right. A pleasure to watch.

 

[Gdiguy]

Either way it was a hell of a season for your boys. Just getting to this point is a big deal. Mets still have a bright future with all of that pitching.

 
Yeah... it would be a little less infuriating if they were just getting beaten, as opposed to blowing the games themselves, but I have to say I'm kind of used to that by now
 
The Cubs series was quite a bit of good luck, but this series has definitely exposed every Mets weakness that's been obvious from the beginning of the season - bad defense, bad bullpen. At least those are somewhat easier to fix for next year than other things, and the rotation is going to be great... but they absolutely need another 2 relievers, and as much as I like Murphy's approach at the plate, they cannot run an infield of Wright/Flores/Murphy - the defense is just too bad.

 

[budcrew08]

Could you imagine if this the Red Sox?

 

[soxhop411]

 
Yup. It's a thing. My corporate office is located there, and I've spent a good deal of time there. Lots of chains (Gordon Biersch, etc.,) and a ridiculously high sales/meal tax rate, like 12%.

Thx

 

[rembrat]

The Giants handled them just fine last year. I don't see too much of a difference between the 14' and 15 Royals to be completely honest.

They gotta pay the power and light bill.
