Mets Fans Stunned As Their Team Trails Royals 3-1

I don’t care who you are.  If you’re a diehard fan of any team losing a big game hurts.  I’ve had my heart broken countless times as a Braves fan.  I’ll never forget the dirty play of Minnesota Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek in Game 2 of the 1991 World Series.  Ron Gant had knocked a single to left field in the third inning.  As he rounded first base, Twins pitcher Kevin Tapani threw the ball behind Gant to Hrbek.  Rather than just tagging him he literally used his weight to wrestle Gant off the base by wrapping his arm around his leg and lifting him off the bag to the delight of Twins fans.  The national television audience and every fan in the Metrodome saw what Hrbek did but Umpire Drew Coble ruled Gant out.  To this day I still do a slow burn over that controversial play.

A string of miscues by the Mets last night in the eighth inning has the boys from the Big Apple in a huge hole trailing the Royals three games to one.  I think the Royals are unstoppable now and last night’s eighth inning sealed the deal.

The first pitch for Game 5 will be at 8:15 PM ET from Citi Field and can be seen on the big FOX.

GO ROYALS!

2015 World Series Game Four: Trick Or Treat Tonight?

After getting back in the series with a 9-3 win in Game 3, the Mets take on the Royals in Game 4 of the World Series.  The first pitch is at 8:07 PM ET from Citi Field on the big FOX.

The Mets will be counting on the arm of Steven Matz to pitch some magic against the feisty Royals.  Chris Young, who pitched three scoreless innings in Game 1, will start for the boys from Kansas City.

Will the Mets win tonight’s game or will they be tricked?  The game should be Spooktacular.

GO ROYALS!

2015 World Series: Game Three

The red-hot Royals are in the Big Apple for Game Three of the World Series.  The Mets are worried.  They’ve got to win four games or the Royals will be the next World Champs.

The first pitch will be at 8:07 PM ET.  The game will be carried on the big FOX.

The boys from Kansas City are sluggers.  In the 23 innings that comprised the first two games of the series, the Royals have struck out just ten times.  The Mets have gone out on strikes a total of nineteen times.  Frankly, their offense didn’t do much damage at Kauffman Stadium.

The Mets’ old home, Shea Stadium, had a big red mechanical Home Run Apple that would pop up from its hiding place in center field.  When Shea was razed in 2008, the apple was moved next door to Citi Field.  The Royals need strong showings from Alex Gordon, Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer against Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard and a bit of help from Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura to extend the combined 0 for 12 plate appearances of Wright, Duda and Cespedes to keep that apple from popping up.

The New York Post’s Mike Vaccaro believes Royals’ manager Ned Yost is going to run out of “pixie dust” at Citi Field.  Hold on there buddy.  Ned worked with Bobby Cox, a Hall of Famer, and one of the greatest managers in baseball.  Pixie dust doesn’t win ball games.  Ned’s players remember playing 162 games last year only to lose the 2014 World Series in Game 7.  The Royals are on a mission.

TAKE THE CROWN!
