World Series Thread: New York Mets vs Kansas City Royals

[Belliss101]

yay Mets

[jaysfan2014]

Who's a bigger train wreck tonight? FOX's World Series broadcast, or Tristan Thompson on the Cavs?

[TRM]

Sooo, does Volquez know about his old man yet, or not?

[Spanky99]

I'd be happy if he were to hold the Royals to one run, then the Mets could score off Herrera or Davis.

 

Nah... W for dad would be a nice story.

[Spanky99]

Sooo, does Volquez know about his old man yet, or not?

 

No man, they won't tell him till he's atleast out, pretty rough man.

[intentional wok]

Unbelievable. Imagine if they missed the homerun because FOX is f***ing around? As a fan of baseball I am outraged, can't even begin to imagine how Mets and Royals fans would feel.

 

Kind of like a Jays fan felt seeing umpires employed by Major League Baseball and equipped with video replay award a home run to the opposing team despite fan interference?

[TRM]

No man, they won't tell him till he's atleast out, pretty rough man.

 

So the ESPN report was bogus then.

 

Surreal

[Dr. Dinger]

There's a report saying he found out before the game.

[intentional wok]

Probably a hysterical question, but here goes:

 

If Fox can both hold up the game and be the only source of usable video replay footage, what does that make MLB? You don't think this arrangement gives Fox some influence in how the games play out, whether or directly or just through MLB pro-actively appeasing them?

[Orgfiller]

2 batters in and I already want to puke. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

[Spanky99]

So the ESPN report was bogus then.

 

Surreal

 

No man, it wasn't, it happened just prior to the game. They decided not to tell him. I'd be pissed.

[TRM]

OK, let's assume he doesn't know. And you're a Mets fan, at the game, close to the dugout.

 

This is your only opportunity ever to measurably impact your team winning, and it's in a f***ing World Series game... who here would CONSIDER yelling at him to tell him his dad passed, in order to get him out of the game and into the bullpen early....

 

Anyone...?

 

Bueller?

[TRM]

OK. I'll just go burn in hell for even thinking of that.

[Swervin81]

Pretty sure teams have in house production (like how you are able to watch highlights of untelevised games) and MLBN also does their own production for international viewers.

 

The whole "We need Fox for replays" is just a s*** excuse.

[Spanky99]

There's a report saying he found out before the game.

 

Really, I hope he gets the W on this day. Mets can take the series, but...

What about my a Mets fan?

[TRM]

Damnit

That's just awful.

[Orgfiller]

Volquez is throwing a ton of junk.

Dunno man. Some things should just stay off limits.

f*** the royals, how do you know some mets fan isn't dying right now and this is his last chance to see a mets win in the WS?

[Spanky99]

K........

[Dr. Dinger]

Dunno man. Some things should just stay off limits.

 

Volquez knows, so it's moot.

[TRM]

To be clear, I wouldn't actually ever do it.

 

Just a (semi-psychotic) interesting thought experiment.

[Orgfiller]

Seeing d'Arnaud and Syndergaard influence this series positively is almost poetic in a way. We gifted them those two players, and now they're helping to defeat one of the most hated teams in baseball (by our standards).

[dineke]

To be clear, I wouldn't actually ever do it.

Don't worry, Volquez is no crybaby, remember?

[KingKat]

M! E! T! S!

 

Mets! Mets! Mets!

[Orgfiller]

Yay Mets!

[Orgfiller]

Gordon had a bit of trouble getting the ball out of his glove, but he probably wouldn't have gotten Cespedes anyways.

[Spanky99]

"HOW ABOUT THAT FROM KANSAS CITY..." *Pukes*

Mets score two runs that inning?
