re: WORLD SERIES CHAMPS: KANSAS CITY ROYALS aka DH > NL

I hate to say it, Blue Jays fans, but I can't help but think... John Gibbons may have lost this ALDS by letting Cecil pitch to Napoli based on that tiny 2-for-17 sample size.

Personally, I would not allow any lefty to pitch to Mike Napoli in that situation. I understand, and Cecil's improved against righties but that seemed easily avoidable.











Gotta Believe...
:mark: :mark: :mark: :mark: :mark:

Lol Jays. So glad they're on the brink of elimination and look like a steaming pile of horse shit. Couldn't be happier to see them fall apart, especially with the super annoying two posters in this thread who treated every game of the last 162 games as if it was a sign of things to come. WRONG, you Canucks. Just lol at this collapse. They should give Trout the MVP based off of Donaldson leaving game 1 early and being scared of the moment and then making an error today.

Lolololoololoolllllollolol. The Jays certainly don't look like the favorites. I hope they get swept and lose their next game 0-20. FUARKING rofl at Stroman. Didn't look like the "Pitcher in baseball with the nastiest stuff".

Let's not talk World Series yet for the Cubbies, they just need to focus on the NLCS. I hope they enjoy their victory tonight. It was fucking awesome that they at least got to celebrate it at Wrigley.

I'm hopeful. Like... Crazy hopeful. But I don't want to put that burden on myself yet. If we get close to clinching the NLCS I'll start to get excited.

Regardless, this is all GREAT experience for our young roster. They didn't "one and done" it this post-season and the more big-time experience they get the better it will be for them.

It's just exciting to have a Cubs team that is getting this far as it's the first real time I've seen it since I started supporting them in 2009.

Sons of Flushing! Of Queens! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Mets fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day! An hour of Dodgers and shattered postseason hopes when the Age of Mets comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good diamond of earth, I bid you stand, Men of the Mets!

In case anyone wants to get extra-stoked for the Jays/Royals series, here is some history of their rivalry.



I love Zaun, I think he's great in the analyst (manalyst*) role, he offers some real insight into things, is very well spoken and doesn't take any shit. Note to Rogers-keep him employed. And god damn, he just verbally murdered Ventura. :banderas

*to the tune of Meet the Mets*

FUCK THE CUBS,
FUCK THE CUBS,
Step right up and beat the Cubs!
Bring your kiddies,
bring your wife;
Guaranteed to have the time of your life
because the Cubs are really loftin' the ball; Mets knocking home runs over the wall!
North side,
North side,
everybody's coming down
to beat the C-U-B-S Cubs of Chi-ca-go!

@AryaDark

Brilliant song choice! :clap :lmao :sodone


With the elimination of the Chicago Cubs, this will be the first Major League Baseball World Series ever to not include a team that was around in the beginning of what is considered baseball's "modern era," i.e., 1903. The first-ever "Expansion Team World Series."

re: WORLD SERIES CHAMPS: KANSAS CITY ROYALS aka DH > NL

Well, to be fully fair to myself, back in a previous MLB thread about six weeks before the 2014 regular season began I predicted that the Kansas City Royals, based on everything known about them at that point, would be quite good in 2014 and 2015. I'm not shocked that they're here. Mets were slightly fortunate that the Washington Nationals are the biggest pretenders in MLB but knowing that they would have all of that fantastic young pitching I figured they'd at least be a wildcard contender. And I thought it'd probably be a year early for the Cubs to get a wildcard spot but I figured they'd at least push the issue; they ended up being even better than I think anyone anticipated, including themselves, especially with their ridiculously hot second half.

The Blue Jays, definitely, I don't think anyone could have anticipated this, but, then, they practically remade the team at the trade deadline and only got Stroman back with a few short weeks left in the regular season, so they've almost been two different teams in 2015. MrMister and I were suggesting Mets/Blue Jays would be the World Series matchup over two months ago. :side: :lol

Mets improving their lineup so significantly at the deadline helped their cause considerably, too.

Definitely agreed with you, Stax, that young hitting tends to stay intact in a way that young pitching doesn't. The Giants of 2010-2015 are a great case study. That rotation of 2010 which was so dominant is practically in ruins today outside of Bumgarner, but in 2015 it's the team's young, potent lineup and strong defense is what's keeping the team in contention, not the pitching staff which, as of today, is in dire need of help. It's going to be easier for the Cubs to extend their window than the Mets in all likelihood, but, then, you never really know in baseball. The Washington Nationals were supposed to be the pulverizing juggernaut of these past few years and especially in 2015 following the Scherzer acquisition, but their aging lineup plus pitching underperformances grievously hurt them.


Meanwhile, in actual baseball news, the Dodgers fired Don Mattingly today. Such a shame. Such a shame to see a great GIANTS double agent dispatched by his team. First Matt Williams in Washington, D.C.; now the far more important Don Mattingly in Los Angeles. The Dodgers might actually hire somebody competent. :(

At least the Cardinals haven't caught on to Mike Matheny in St. Louis... Guess they're too busy hacking other teams and trying to steal past divisional title wins and whatnot from others to notice. :side: @AryaDark

In the Mets case, I disagree. Their young pitchers are going to be around for several more years(I think even Matt Harvey has two or three more years on his current deal remaining) so this whole situation isn't some one-year "let's get all these aging veterans and win it all" thing. The Mets are built to last for awhile. I have a gut feeling we may see these two teams(Cubs/Mets) face off again in the coming postseasons.
