I-70 World Series Part 2

[cbass12]

I was born 6 months and 2 days after Game 7 in 1985. It's been a long wait. 

Have fun at the parade, and like I said earlier....... you suck!!!

I remember 85 only too well! It was one of those times that helped me understand that life is too short to get too high or low because of the win or loss of a sports team.

This series was sickening. The mets did just enough to lose in 3 of their 4 losses. In world series that have gone 5 games, no team has had a lead in the 8th inning or later in 3 of the 4 games they lost. Leave it to my Ny Mutts to be the first. This was about as brutal as it gets. Being owned by the braves in the 90s and some of those gut wrenching losses. The art howe era. Getting beat in 5 by the stinken yankees in 2000 it couldn't get any worse if you are a mets fan in the tri state area. Then the 2006 mets. That game 7 loss was the most painful of my life. I was a broken man after that game. Then 07 and 08 watching this team gag it up in historical fashion. You can only take so much pain and abuse from your sports team. I bleed orange and blue but this team has worn me out. 

 

I knew the mets had weaknesses and if their were any teams who could expose them I knew it was the pirates or royals. But our pitching got so hot I actually thought just maybe they could overcome all our issues. Overcome the fact that TDA with his noodle arm throws the ball like mackey sasser. That every walk and single is a double and if they want a triple! The fact that our infield D can be atrocious at times. Murphy with his brain cramps, wright with his rag arm, wilmer who has limited range. 

 

And in this series we saw it all. Outside of our pitching and grandy man, we saw the pre trade deadline mutts. Collins was horrendous in this series. He made decisions that mets fans will never be able to comprehend. Just look at the way chris young was used in game 1. That is managing to win. Then look how familia was used and that is managing to lose. 

 

I could go on and on. And the royals made plenty of mistakes. But the types of teams they are, their is more room for error for the royals. 

[gardnerjigman]

It wasn't just your team that had issues with that. My royals are the comeback kids.... they made a living coming back on games they should have lost.

We shall meet again... opening day to be exact. Lol
