Mets vs. Cubs NL Championship Thread

[candymartinez]

And then there were three...

[Jonn]

Crazy that this Mets team made the World Series. But that pitching is just so good. And they started to mash in the second half.

[Krylian]

Congrats to the Mets! Well deserved.

 

Cubbies will be a force for the next few years...

[BTS]

The Mets are scary good.

Holy f*** the Mets celebration looked so boring. What a boring team.

A whole team of boring white guys. The baseball world's wet dream.

Always liked both the Mets and Cubs. Maybe 'cause they've been the underdogs and what not. always liked the Mets colour scheme and the Cubs logo. Anyway, I was happy to see both of them make the NLCS.

 

All I hope is that it's the Blue Jays taking the field against the Mets, not to FOXSports Royals. I mean KC Royals.

Seriously, they were standing still taking turns opening the champagne bottles, and spraying in random directions while saying "woo hoo" in their indoor voices.

[Scion]

I still can't get over the fact that Daniel Murphy had half as many home runs in 9 post season games as he did in 140 regular season games.

They play the game the white way...

They were just honouring the baseball culture code. They have respect for the game of beisbol.

I just realized that if we come back and beat the Royals, we'll kind of be playing against ourselves in the World Series. After all, AA pretty much built the Mets' team for them.

[Krylian]

The Mets would never flip anything.

I want to see a Syndergaard vs. Dickey matchup.

I've always had a soft spot for the Mets. For a while there, we were both formerly great east-coast franchises that plummeted into futility. Now, we're both good again at the same time.

Yuck.

 

Thor Vs. Stro or Price maybe...but the less I see of Dickey the better.

While I know you are partially joking Sandy Alderson has done a fantastic job of building that team. His only move which I can remember going WTF to was signing Cuddyer. I was hoping the Jays could have snuck him to be the next president, but Shapiro is good too.

Ditto, so does R.A. Dickey. You read that piece, I believe it was the Sun.

 

Can't find the piece, he said if it were to happen, it would be a great story, yada, yada...anyhow.

As soon as I read this, I imagined Brutus the Barber Beefcake doing the shearing. Oh man that would be so awesome.

Amazingly, Brutus Beefcake is not dead. Usually with wrestlers of that era, it's a pretty safe assumption.

As if the trade didn't stick it to us enough...

I actually checked before posting. I was astounded to find out that he's not dead.
