Mets vs. Cubs NL Championship Thread

[CJ-Freeway]

i have to tip my hat off to you guys watching this; after watching our game, i couldn't stand watching another baseball game; i'm not as sick as after game 2 of the texas series but pretty darn close...

 

To me, today's game was even worse than game 2 vs Texas.

 

Anyways, go Cubs!!

Syndergaard just straight up owned Schwarbeast there.

[reedjohnsonfan]

98 whiffs Rizzo!

[thatoneguy]

Holy f*** Murphy!

 

Arrieta getting crushed early.

[Travis_Snider]

wtf Murphy lol

[37stieb]

Jake Arrieta is human after all

[Orgfiller]

Step aside Joe DiMaggio, there's a new Mr. October in New York, and his name is...Daniel Murphy?

[thatoneguy]

He is becoming the Freese of this year.

[Stangstag]

Arrieta is back to being Baltimore O's Arrieta.

[37stieb]

He hit a pretty good curve on the inside half.

[Stangstag]

Granderson is definitely my favorite Met. Loved him when he was with the Yankees too. He's been great this postseason.

[spats]

Boy it's hard to watch Thor and D'Arnaud without thinking what might have been.

[THANOS]

Watching Thor pitch is so heart wrenching . Oh what could have been..

d'A not so much. We gave up a better boi: Gomes. :'(

It's actually just Jesus taking over his body. I'm sure he'll tell you that.

[comeon sense]

I like the Mets in 5 or 6.

The Cubs never faced the new improved Mets.

Agree, I've always liked the Grandyman, it was hard to cheer against him in a Yanks uniform.

Not really. We've traded alot of players over the years... If we sat and cried about all the players we traded away, then we might as well quit watching the sport altogether. All 30 teams have players they might regret trading, but you can't sit and dream of the past.

 

Also remember that without trading Synd and dArnaud, we probably wouldn't be in the playoffs right now.

[Jonn]

I won't call him Thor. But Syndergod sounds appropriate.

[Stangstag]

Kris Bryant is so sexy

[Stangstag]

Not sure why they're pulling Synd so early...

[havok24]

The Mets have just enough offense to probably win the World Series. That pitching staff is unfair.

If they don't win this year, they'll likely have many more chances over the next 5 years.

 

That pitching staff is young and elite.

On paper sure, though their best chance is winning it this year. They've gotten this far and to do it again over the next couple of years won't be easy. You never know what could happen to some of their pitchers; Cespedes and Murphy are gone likely, injuries etc. Plus as we saw in the ALDS and NLDS, any team could make it through in a 5 game series. Also, consider Washington likely will be a better team if they make some big offseason moves. On paper, the Mets should be the best in the NL East, though its so difficult to make the postseason every year, let alone get through the DS. Everyone is healthy now, so this is the year. They might not have another golden opportunity like they do now.

 

Go Mets!

holy s*** stop with these "familiar Familia" jokes tbs

[Captain Adama]

Of course Syndergaard beats Arrieta.

[mtljaysfan]

It made me sick watching Syndergaad pitching tonight.
