Bingo. Great low k lineup vs talented, young tired pitchers is how I would sum it up. As a Met fan i can accept kc is better and i figure they will win the series. With or without pine tar.rembrat said:If Perez can apply that stuff to the ball and get it to his pitcher obviously that's illegal, it doesn't matter that after 200IP Jake deGrom was finally some what hittable.
Exactly this.jhp64 said:I want every series to go 3-0: then the announcers talk about 2004, and in one team's clubhouse, I imagine them talking about the Red Sox, watching "Four Days in October", saying "Don't let us win tonight", etc. Maybe the Mets will ask Pedro to throw out the first pitch in game 4.
People called me the scandalizerrembrat said:It turns tonight. Mets open a can of whoop ass on those cheatin', deceivin', no good roody poos! They're gonna look up and realize they ain't in Kansas (City) anymore.

Someone tell me, b/c I don't know. Why are the Mets particularly hateable? They tried to win and won, right? And what else? (I always thought the narrative was that the Boston 1)manager, 2)reliever, 3) first-baseman lost the series. Now I find out that the Mets somehow stole it. Or what?)
Lowrielicious said:Exactly this. What is the big deal? As already said it's legal for catchers or other position players.
If anyone thinks he is going to transfer any meaningful amount of tar with his throwing fingers as he delivers it to the pitcher they are insane.

The NY on their caps is enough for me to hate them. But to ignore 1986 is ridiculous.
Isn't Keith Hernandez a dick about 1986 whenever he gets a chance? Also, second or third order reason: that Seinfeld episode made him pretty hate-able. Maybe, if DD adds to the new super core of kids enough to get to a series pretty soon, and the Mets might have the pitching to keep it going, we can meet them again. That would be an incredible series. For now, go Royals.loshjott said:

Are people actually calling Dombrowski "DD?"Al Zarilla said:Maybe, if DD adds to the new super core of kids enough to get to a series pretty soon, and the Mets might have the pitching to keep it going, we can meet them again.

To me, "DD" is the guy who brought us Pedro, and is now GM of the Orioles.
Yet not difficult to believe that someone would complain about it anyway.E5 Yaz said:

I'm just a crabby old broad these days, but in 1986 I was a hopeful young thing, and I have just this to say: suck on it, New York Mets.

Hey, just before the pre-game on FS1, there's a program about you: "Haters: the Anatomy of a Rivalry" Super fans cling to age-old grudges, while brain scientists break down their passion. 6 to 7 tonight.loshjott said:

no. they added extra seats for the actual gamerembrat said:I have to assume thats for some kind of pre-game ceremony.
http://nypost.com/2015/10/30/the-mets-are-adding-extra-seats-for-game-3-for-vips-only/rembrat said:I didn't know you could do that mid-season. It takes away at least 10 feet of foul ground behind home plate.
EDIT: Wait, that's probably not behind home plate...
more at the linkThe Mets just raised the bar for “best seats in the house” — installing two section of seats right on the field around home plate for Games 3, 4 and, hopefully, 5 of the World Series.
And catchers Travis d’Arnaud, of the Mets, and Salvador Perez, of the Royals, better watch out as the two sections of 30 VIP seats each could cut into their pursuit of foul pop-ups.
The special sections are also taking up space normally reserved for the on-deck circles, in order to get baseball bigwigs as close to the action as possible.
The on-field seats are so exclusive that they are not even being put up for sale — they are going only to Major League Baseball brass, Mets team officials and specially selected VIPs, according to Newsday.
They may also aggravate envious fans who paid $8,000 to $10,000 for choice seats in sections near the field — but are now located behind the added sections.
Reporters who visited Citi Field on Thursday first spotted the extra seats during the Mets’ day-off workout.
While the third-base side will be under the control of the league and considered the commissioner’s box, the first-base side will be set aside for the Mets, the newspaper said.
The move is one that has been done before by MLB teams, including the Mets for the 2013 All-Star Game.
Chris Leyden, a content analyst for the ticket search engine, SeatGeek, said that the seats would be very pricey real estate if they were actually put up for sale.
“Those are incredibly prime seats,” he said, comparing them to the sections behind home plate. “On the retail market, those added seats would probably be between $5,000 and $10,000 each.”
ifmanis5 said:Also, those add on seats have angered the Great Francesa- his seats are right behind the additions and he's pissed that his view is now obstructed.
ifmanis5 said:Those additions will come into play somehow. That's how baseball works. They've angered the BABIP Gods and there will be blood.
What a chicken shit, tacky, hayseed, bush league, we're a pack of yahoos thing to do; good God is that hideous, aka, so Met like....................soxhop411 said:

Sorry, that's the way it is for me.
Fuck them.
Noah Syndergaard has a shot at history
With 9 or more K's in Game 3 tonight, Syndergaard would join Bob Gibson as the only pitchers in history with at least 9 K's in each of their first 3 postseason starts. The last rookie with 9 K's in a World Series game was Don Newcombe in 1949.
