Mets vs Royals - World Series Game 3
-
Article from the ESPN Grantland site. Read it while you can…ESPN just announced that they’re shutting down Grantland. Too bad…they had some great long-form articles.
-
Man that’s a lot to digest…thanks for the link… Only thing I’m not reading much of anywhere is that 4 ROYALS of the starting 9 have been nominated for Gold Glove Awards & that Lo Cain is not one of them. Neither was Moose at 3rd. All the stats on the planet can be hashed, re-hashed, & regurgitated over & over but a definite major advantage is that this defense can be as suffocating & as oppressive as a Louisiana bayou (this one’s for you @brooksmd ) during a mid August cloudburst… It’s yet another critical dagger to go with their ultra efficient offense & lockdown relievers. Mets gotta take 4 of 5 & KC needs only 2 more monstrous wins & for the big parade. Man I can’t wait to get this party started!

@globaljaybird Last nite is was Degrom or whatever his name was that was supposed to put the Mets back in the series. Now MLB is saying this guy Thor will get the W the Mets need. Wasn’t that guy in game one also supposed to be their big gun? Well I’ll take our starters and bullpen and guys that can hit the fastball for base hits any day. Let’s get #3 tonite and put the Mets in the position of having to win 4 straight, 2 of which in the friendly confines of the K!!!
-
But we need a Cueto-like performance by Ace tonite if we’re gonna put the Mets in a 0-3 hole. Ace only has 1 win in 4 post season starts, giving up 10 runs in 17 innings. Ear plugs and ear muffs to keep the crowd out of his head and a decent ump behind the plate would keep his head on straight.
-
Lets go Royals!!
-
Do all those long haired pitchers look alike?
-
Gotta hand it to Billy Joel on the National Anthem. Nice to hear somebody sing it instead of butcher it.
-
yikes. Just witnessed a guy get hit by a semi. Hope he’s alright.
-
No doubt how Moose felt about the first pitch.
-
Shut up those announcers and fans, Thor my ass
-
Nice base running by Zo. Soon as he saw 3rd base was taking that grounder he was off to the races.
-
Pitcher tagged out doo dah
-
Nice start.
-
Okay Ace…time to shut the fans up.
-
@nwhawkfan Ace best not start out playin chin music.
-
Crap
-
@Crimsonorblue22 well, no ones gettin shut out tonight…
-
Thought the wind was blowing in… guess it’s from the first base dugout.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 where’s gramps? Date night?
-
@globaljaybird probably at the concession stand!
-
@globaljaybird Right here ya old fart. Good heads up play by Zo. That’s 2 biggies by him so far.
-
Lead off man on … Lets go Royals, Let’s go Royals…
-
Dink 'em to death…
-
All aboard the singles train!
-
Well, it’s been fun.
I’m off to get something to eat. Hopefully it won’t be a problem finding a table at a sports bar in Lawrence homecoming weekend with the Royals playing in the world series.
It’s raining and cold, so that might help.
-
@DanR Good luck !
-
Thor Thor Thor, bla bla bla!!!
-
So much for the Mets amazin starting rotation!
-
I’m impressed with the speed of Ace. He wasn’t an easy out on that bunt. Hey Thor, keep tossing those fastballs. @globaljaybird that grantland article just drooled all over the Mets catcher vs Salvy. Hasn’t impressed me any.
-
I’m o’d ing on Halloween candy!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 what kind?
-
Don’t tread on KC !!! Up 3-2 Yeeeaaaah!!!
-
@Eric ate all the snickers yesterday, starting on butterfingers in honor of mets!
-
Hmm, it seems like Mr. Thor is vincible…
-
-
I think I have diabetes now! Lil butterfingers are so soft!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 LOL
-
Ace keeps the ball down and keeps getting that call he’s gold.
-
Royals are so far up the Mets heads, they are scared to throw their best pitch.
-
I also bought babe Ruth’s!
️
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Baby Ruth, 100 Grand, Payday and Twizzlers. Ump just blew that one.
-
That was a strike!
-
@brooksmd I got twizzlers too
-
That strike was the same you missed on last hitter. Open your eyes ump. I know they’re coming fast but try and keep up.
-
2 down, 7 to go. Keep it going Ace. Gotcha covered after 7.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Got some Russell Stover chocolate & caramel minis. Trying to support KC-based businesses when I can.
-
@nwhawkfan I love choc and Carmel
-
@brooksmd I just told my son that the article had Salvy ranked as the 28th best catcher & Darnol at 3rd Lol
-
@globaljaybird joke
-
That’ll piss ace off!
-
@globaljaybird Ace let up on that pitch and he should’ve kept the heat on. Dumb when you got a pretty much gimme for a first out.
