This is "amazin'". As a Mets Fan living in Cubs country it is extra sweet. That said, it is not over yet...
major props to the Cubbies here: http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/artic...y_field_after_nlcs_sweep_pic/s1_8061_19757143
That is a class move. Those Cubbies are not going anywhere. I would not be shocked to see these two teams battling out for the World Series again, if not next year some other year in the near future.
and game 1 starter is not named Harvey??? http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2015/10/23...-the-world-series/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs
Can't go wrong with either Pitcher in game one in my mind. This sets up Harvey for a possible game 7 which I think he would flourish in. Let's Go METS!
Nonsense. Harvey isn't going 3 times. Collins is doing the correct thing by sticking with his rotation as it was set up in the NLCS... Mets Name Harvey Starter for Game 1 - ESPN http://espn.go.com/newyork/mlb/story/_/id/13961285/newyork-mets-name-matt-harvey-starter-game-1
It is not nonsense. I was just saying he could go game 3 and game 7. But Game 1 starter is good for me too. Why mess with a good thing?
bottom line the better team won: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/collins-lament-let-heart-way-gut-085153616--mlb.html
Yup. The better team won. But this was a great experience for the young pitchers. I hope the 2016 Mets can learn from this experience much like the young Royals in 2015 learned from their World Series experience. If everyone can stay healthy and we add Wheeler and maybe stupid Mejia by mid season the Met's pitching staff could be even better. Now we have to see what moves they make to help with hitting and fielding. Let's go Mets!
It's still pitching FTW. Mets are primed for a good run the next few years with those arms. Dodgers made big improvements on D and got more OBP top to bottom but the result was the same. With another quality starter they could've gone deeper. Two big arms and one stopper = so-so results with teams 3 deep and a broad bullpen staff.
I just get images in my mind of the Braves who had all that pitching and only one World Series to show for it. Good luck to the Dodgers. I usually root for them if the Mets are out of contention.
http://www.amazinavenue.com/2015/11/2/9659564/mets-free-agency-cespedes-murphy-uribe-new-york I'd offer Colon and Uribe one year contracts...the rest can and will walk...I wish all of them well.
