Apparently someone reminded the Mets that they are supposed to be playing in the World Series. This was pretty close to a "must win" and they did it.
I’m with you. Go Royals.
This is very very bizarre, this is an exact repeat of 1986. Mets lost first two games by the same point spread and won the 3rd game by the same 6 point spread as well in 86.
I wonder how much that cost him.
Nice mature attitude you got there. Chances are pretty good that for all the liberals in NYC, there are more conservatives in the city than the entire population of your county. And a good many of the outrageous commie-loving NYers happen to hail from elsewhere. People just migrate there. You know, the huddled masses and all that. NYC is a great town that attracts all sorts of people.
The down side of DVR. You have to restrict your surfing.
Including "God haters."
The Mets lost the first two games of the '86 World Series...AT HOME. Then won 2 out of 3 on the road, and both back at home to take the series in 7.
I guess the Mets ain’t dead yet!
Anything is possible yes, but to paraphrase Damon Runyan, that’s not the way to bet. The Royals will be in great shape if they win one game in New York.
1985 for the Royals versus 1986 versus the Mets. It's a push.
If the Met’s played like professionals they would now be up 2 games to one.
They lost the first game on the first pitch of the game made by Marshall. What was a routine fly ball out to left field became an inside the park HR and that cost them the ball game.
The Met’s would have gone into the ninth inning up 2 runs instead of 1 and the game would have ended with them winning 4-3 instead of going extra innings with them losing.
It’s a NY thing, putz. May the Royals lose the next 3!
Yes, Cespedes cost the Mets that game - he didn't show up for the team intro, and then his first minute in the outfield he let a flyout become an inside the park homerun.
Very frustrating, unexplained and unexplainable behavior.
that year they rolled two tv’s into the school auditorium and let anybody with free time watch the games, course there were more than a couple skipping class but nobody ever checked... it was great!
I was just a small girl in ‘69, so I wasn’t in school, but I lived in Corona, right under the Number 7 train, and I could hear the announcer’s voice and the roar of the crowd.
When they won, all the Number 7 trains blew their whistles and every car horn was blaring.
In ‘86, I was an adult, and though I didn’t get to a game ($$$$ even back then), I remember the LIRR and subway conductors giving play-by-play to us commuters while we were underground. I finally got to my home station, left the train, and promptly got smashed with the rest of the neighborhood in the local bar.
Good times. Hope we have another one this year.
Let’s Go Mets!
Regards,
that must of really been something! GO METS!!!!!
Yup, it attracts “God haters,” but also people of incredibly deep faith ... that’s what happens when you get 8-10 million people in a very compact geographical area. Good, bad, indifferent. The whole lot of humanity.
I have absolutely no problem with Syndegards pitch but a pitch thrown near the head is ok but an aggressive take out slide is not? A little hypocrisy from Met fans, me thinks.
