Yes it will be a challenge. Just like you'd expect it to be. But we're ready for it.Will be a very tough series......
What the Mets needs to do to win:
- SP must remain dominate
- can't have holes in lineups or duds......everyone needs to be productive with their AB's....
- Bridge to Familia must be effective
Also what is interesting is that Mets open up 2016 season at KC next year....schedule was finalized about a month ago....how's that for forecasting...
OT:LET'S GO METS
- Thread starter RCTrooper
- Start date
Uribe is in. Now I wonder; does that make him the backup to Flores at SS because he replaced Reynolds.
Sounds like Kelly Johnson would be the back-up - think you lose your DH if you move him though. If Uribe is any semblance of healthy, would prefer him in the DH spot anyway.
Media naysayers are talking about how the Mets have to first overcome recent history. That being that the last 6 teams to sweep in their LCS have gone out to lose the WS. Also read something about the Royals success against high velocity heaters. I expect a lot of 1st pitch off-speed pitches from the young guns. If they're sharp with their curves and changeups I think they'll be fine. Maybe not as much if they start falling behind and the Royals are able to sit on fastballs. We'll find out starting tonight if the layoff has taken the edge off, cooled Murphy and makes our starters less than sharp. No excuses from me though, let's just go take this thing regardless of trends and recent history etc.
I think in an emergency they would move Wright to SS. He has played it a little earlier in his career. That's if Johnson were already in the game as the DH. They could then just insert Uribe at 3rd.
Joe Buck is doing a bad job as he failed to inform the viewers that Casey Stengel's inside the park homer was the first Series homer at Yankee Stadium,winning the game in the ninth.Didn't his father tell him anything?
For the record,the Babe outhomered Casey in the Series,3 to 2.

Awful start. 1-0 deficit feels like billions. Need ridiculous Murph to show up or this is a loss.
He did mention Stengels inside the park homer. It wasn't on the first pitch. Pay attention
Can't believe they actually stopped play.. Just goes to show that the $$$ is what matters in sports not the outcome
Well, it was and it wasn't - they lost the replay feed when they lost the Fox feed. I'm not sure what they're doing now, but apparently it's been addressed.
On Fox, they said the managers agreed to no replay for the rest of the game.
I agree that the MLB international broadcast was so much more pleasant than listening to Buck.
This is a pretty darn good baseball game. Both teams making some big plays with the sticks and the gloves.

Terry Collins should have just left Kelly Johnson in. What was Cuddyer looking for? That guy only threw heat.
