Shame to see the Mets  lose after 14 innings but they'll have another chance tonight. Hopefully DeGrom can shut them down.

 

Interesting fact I read today is that the Mets have never won game 1 of the World Series.  Now 0-5.  They did win 2 of those previous 4 so I'm still optimistic.

 

Now if Familia does more imitiations of Armando Benitez, then my optimism will quickly disappear.

 

Overall, great start to the series.  Should be close and competitive throughout.

Yes, sir. I was half expecting Murphy to take advantage of the extra innings and extend his home run streak to 7 games, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Glad to see Wright get a couple of base hits as well. He's only had a couple decent nights with the bat this entire post season. I'm sure he's still battling back from his back ailment though.

This GMC commercial drives me crazy.  Has anyone actually ever heard a pitcher referred to as a Rembrandt?

 

What gets me about that commercial is the song they chose to back it.  Eminence Front by the Who.  A song about people hiding who they really are.  A car maker creates a commercial about quality and backs it with a song about being a phony.  Makes me wonder if a disgruntled marketing exec pulled a fast one.

I can get past that part since it's such a catchy riff.  That's all I really hear.  Good point though, never thought about that.

It's like the Viagra commercial with "I'm ready" as the background music. The lyric makes sense in context, but the rest of the song is about a guy getting hammered while carrying a gun and looking to shoot someone.

Goodbye, Mets

 

2 blown late inning leads.  Armando Benitez is alive and well!  Could easily be 3-1 the other way.

 

Also Cespedes has killed them hitting, fielding, and now base running.

 

Murphy has completely stopped hitting and still can't field.

 

Keep making stupid mistakes against this Royals team and it's killing them.

 

I have no faith that they can win 3 in a row.  The biggest reason is I don't think Familia can be counted on at this point to save a game successfully.

He works for UGA and is working on like his ninth master's degree there or something.

LGR - we all have mind's eyes. I am picturing you as one Tasmanian Devil of a grad assistant making undergraduate heads spin. I'm doing it joyfully, for the record.

Well Familia sets the World Series record with his 3rd blown save.  Granted the last 2 were a wildfire already when he entered. :wallbash:

 

I have to tip my hat to the Royals.  They are relentless.  Any little opening and they're all over it.


Oh and some horrible errors and decisions by the Mets have been the difference in an extremely close series so far.

I feel bad for any Mets fan who has to work early tomorrow....win or lose, I can't imagine sleep will come easily.

 

Yeah, thanks :cry:

They could have/should have been wrapping up the series just now if not for the stupid errors and decisions they've had.

Both of these are true, IMO. The Mets have opened opportunities for the Royals, and the Royals have taken advantage of them.
