Looks like Harvey starts the 8th.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Impressive win. Guess y'all have some cold weather up north by the look of all the hoodies and gators. Was 85 today here in Texas. Just saying... "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
With the scruff beard and those VA issue heavy black rimmed glasses, he looks like some Flushing Queens bum who just rolled out of an OTB to catch the game in the upper decks. you would think a team from Chi-town would be used to it . Yesterday was a typical autumn day . I was outside a good part of the day in a short sleeve shirt digging up my harvest of sweet potatoes. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Mets up in the 8th. Murphy again.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Yank fans are calling sports radio and saying that if the Mets don't want to sign Murphy next year that there is an opening on the Yanks. Not sure about that . Murphy looks like he is one of those post-season phenoms that comes out of nowhere and just as quickly disappear. Experts who follow the Mets are saying that there is alot of his game that's deficient. But the Mets fans are calling in fretting about the team possibly not signing Murphy and Cespedes next year . They should just enjoy the moment and worry about next year in November . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I agree. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
11-8 Toronto win last night. I really thought the Royals were going to come back to win that one. Pitching matchup should be geared for a lower scoring game tonight. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Not sure about that... Dickie is beatable(11-11, 3.91) . Young is a flyball pitcher . The Rogers Centre gives up a lot of home runs. Good thing the Royals BP is well rested .
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
5-0 KC in the 2nd.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Great job KC way to beat down the Jays. One more and the Canucks are eliminated. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Jays going with game one starter Marco Estrada instead of moving Price up on short rest . Could get interesting . The Jays did not hit Volquez hard ;and they had to go deep into their bullpen yesterday .
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
One more and the Canucks are eliminated. Looks like the matchups are working ehhh... :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
High here was 49. Would much rather have been down there on Fork, Ray Roberts or Ivie fishing... 4 more years to go before I can at least get a winter place to stay down there, don't think the wife would do full time with the Grandkids and all... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
for your listening pleasure . Let's go Mets ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGf-CZHs060 Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
One more and the Canucks are eliminated or we could be looking at a repeat of the 1985 ALCS . http://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/1985_ALCS.shtml Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Yes I know Banister is watching this closely. If not he should watch and learn from Yost. Unless you have a shut down rotation like the young Mets, you need to go with the match ups. Wonder if the Rogers stadium concessions will still serve beer cans today? "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
All I can say is I hope he learned from that mistake, if not then next year will be disappointing too... And learn to trust some of the younger players more, some of the veterans stunk in that series... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Mets up 6-0.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Congratulations New York Mets! "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Yeah he's a beast in this post season. His FA stock went up quite a bit. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
That is if you're willing to pay him big bucks just because he had a 1 month hot streak, he's already at 8M per year. His stats during the season are about the same as they have always been... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Yeah they played better than I thought by sweeping the Cubs, I was expecting this series to go at least 6 maybe 7 games... Looks like the Cubs are going to have to wait to get another shot at winning a WS... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
But there aren't a set of brothers playing against each other like in 85... :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
sorta like another Met infielder in 1969 , Al Weis who batted .215 during the regular season and .455 during the World Series . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
And I think it was Billy Hatcher that had close to an .800 OBP for the Reds one year in the playoffs IIRC...
Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
or reserve infielder Brian Doyle ,who batted .438 in the 1978 World Series for the Yanks .
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
His stock is up to at least be considered by the Mets for a qualifying offer. If he refuses they get a draft pick and he platoons around the NL like David Murphy in the AL.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
The Mets may have other reasons for getting rid of him besides his performance on the field . He made what are considered controversial comments about the homosexual lifestyle (ie he expressed his Christian beliefs ) . http://deadspin.com/daniel-murphy-disagrees-with-the-gay-lifestyle-1689309224 http://www.cbn.com/tv/1679381918001 Shortly after his comments he announced that he would no longer talk about his beliefs . Many think the Mets pressured him . http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/did-mets-silence-daniel-murphy/ Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Many think the Mets pressured him . http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/did-mets-silence-daniel-murphy/ Liberator brought this up in a different venue. Daniel Murphy can always come to Texas:) But yet again the homo mafia strikes again. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Congratulations KC Royals. AL Champions! Now facing the Mets in the WS. Two "good guy" teams made it. Nice to see. No Cardinals or Giants this year:) "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Don't forget about the other player NY didn't like and that was Tebow... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Royals have more playoff experience but the Mets have a better pitching staff... Should make for some interesting games if the Mets can "hold their water"... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
If you go position by position some teams have better talent than the Royals. Toronto is but one example. However, what the Royals lack in talent is more than by their play as a team. "A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Ok now that the World Series is starting tonight does anybody have any predictions as to who is going to win and in how many games??? I think it's safe to say Gary is going with the Royals, in what 6 or 7 games? I'm going with the Mets in 6, think their pitching will get the job done... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
I'll take the Mets in 7 . I respect the Royals too much to go less. The thing the Mets have to realize is that the Royals do have success against hard throwing pitchers. The Mets pitchers on the other hand have done an excellent job with their seconday pitches when their fastball has not worked . The Mets power will be negated somewhat at Kauffman Field ,and the Royals have much better middle relievers . Having Colon and Neisse in the bull pen improves their depth somewhat . But ,Mets fans will be holding their breath in the middle innings if their starters can't go deep. The Mets IMHO have a big advantage on the bench ,especially if Juan Uribe is a go. They have been playing interchangable parts since the trade deadline. Position by position they are dead even with the Royals having slight advantages in some positions ( 3rd ,1st ,short ,and CF (and DH ) .The Mets have the edge at 2B ,and the 2 corner OF positions .Catchers are even. I'll give the Royals a slight advantage at manager because Yost took them to game 7 last year. As you said ;the Mets starters are the deciding factor . It's been a while since I've seen a 1-4 as solid. Matts would be a number 1 pitcher on many teams. Dare I say that with a full season they have the potential to be as good as the 1971 Orioles ? ( Jim Palmer,Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar , Pat Dobson all 20 game winners in 1970) . It's scary to think how good they will be when Wheeler comes back next year. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Mets in 6.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
You sure you want to agree with me? I said the Mets/Cubs was going to be a close series and it turned into a blowout... :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Which means as long as they realize this and use the off speed stuff wisely they will have success. Not too many batters can go into an at bat looking for both types of pitches, unless they know the pitcher likes to use certain pitches (without fail) in certain situations... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
I think you'll be lucky to see 2-20 game winners on the same staff from now on much less 4... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
sigh ;I'm afraid you are correct . They would have to pitch at least 35 starts to get that . When I was doing my research on the Cubbies I looked at Fergy Jenkins Cy Young season. He had 39 starts .325 IP .and 30 complete games. His record was 24-13 with an ERA of 2.77, striking out 263 batters while walking only 37. That is unheard of in the era of the 5 and 6 man rotation. The Mets walked on egg shells getting Harvey starts while worrying about his innings pitched. They will not start deGromm in the opener to give his tired arm an extra day's rest . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Pitching wise the Royals have the match ups if the starters can go 6 innings cause the BP is deep and shutdown capable, which was in evidence last night. I would have to say Royals in 5 maybe 6...
