Go ticats

They don't need your un-knowledgeable endorsement, thank you.

>=(

They need any endorsement they can get, who are you kidding lol

Don't feel bad Gin and Ronic, Canada will always be America's hat.

<font color=goldenrod>Ruben Amaro Jr has a new job...........








......Red Sox first base coach</font> :lol:

Lmao seriously?

Well, Dan Jennings went from Marlins GM to Marlins manager..........and back to being GM. Ruben ain't exactly making history, just taking a road seldom traveled by front office execs.

throw dale newstead out of the thread for arguing balls and strikes please.......

Jobbed indeed. I am not taking anything away from the Royals and Jays had their chances and should have capitalized, but that call was horrendous and literally changed the outcome of the game.

Get out of here John Hershbeck.

There was two of them, one on Navarro and also a missed balk. I don't thnk it's a conspiracy against the Jays, I think it was Jeff Nelson choking in the ninth inning of a big game. BUT, what happens when you miss your opportunitites early on is often in ANY sport, the calls towards the end have a way of going against you.

And also, it says something about Wade Davis that you can't give him a two strike count lol

<font color=goldenrod>That 9th inning of Game 6 pissed me off big time. I said way back in June when the Mets and Blue Jays played a 4 game home-and-home series that it would be a dream World Series matchup to see the Mets' pitchers vs. the Jays bats.

It also would have been a better matchup for my Mets probably. Royals are objectively a way more complete team than the Mets. The good thing is the one area the Mets have the edge is starting pitching, which is the most important thing in the playoffs. They're going to live and die with their starters. Simple as that.</font>

shut up dale

you got a guy on 3rd with no out and you can't score him, no amount of shitty ball/strike calls makes up for that

jays didn't perform

fucking hate all these bandwagoners bitching about this, go back to moaning about the leafs every night

They shoulda bunted. What a dumbass manager. Hope he learned to say "I'm sorry" while he's been in Canada.

Well Mr. Doggie Dogg, take your potty mouth elsewhere.

Read what I said. The calls didn't sit well with me, but it says something that you can't give Wade Davis 2 strikes, because he's a monster. And also, they blew their opportunities early on, and usually in a tight game, when you don't capitalize, the calls go against you. That being said, those were some shite calls. I've seen calls go the Jays way all the same, (ie. Cecil striking out Gardner 3-2 with the bases loaded on a low strike, then striking out the side) but it's a point of contention regardless. The Royals deserved the win, and there wasn't much stopping them, but I'm allowed to be pissed with some shit calls, that jobbed Revere pretty hard. Donaldson also couldn't capitalize when he came up with 2 outs, and that's on him. Don't lump me in with whatever narrative you're trying to tell yourself.

Note, I never bitched about the home run. Price served one up and got pwnt, reach or no reach from neck beard boy. And the baseball gods squared it out by having Revere make that unbelievable catch later in the game.

Also, fuck the Leafs fans, cannot stand them.

Man, my brother is having one hell of a year. His favorite NBA team won a title and his favorite baseball team the Mets have a good chance. I'll be rooting for the Royals.

If you complain about balls and strikes you are a giant pussy whiny bitch get over it

Go away catfish boy.

More importantly, where's David Price going? Hope the Jays pick him up, he's a class act. But is there any word Stateside about preferred spots for him?

<font color=goldenrod>Wouldn't surprise me to see the Dodgers open up their wallets to bring in Price, regardless of whether or not they're able to re-sign Greinke.

They're gonna end up putting the early 2000s Yankees to shame in terms of dollars spent.</font>

No argument from me there. From the beginning of the series you can find posts of me praising the virtues of Kansas City. You even repped me for one of my posts.

People are too black and white. Because I'm saying that Revere got jobbed in his at bat and I think Nelson choked as an ump, I'm saying the Jays deserved to win. Kansas City deserved to win, but Revere (And Navarro to a lesser extent) deserved a fair shake at bat. The two aren't mutually exclusive. And I think the Jays deserve credit for sticking around in that game that long. Their offence was piss poor, but they really played some great defence to keep them in it.

I'm not "one of those" Jays fans. I don't accuse guys of choking, accuse guys of cheating, blah blah blah, but a bad call is a bad call. And yeah, if you're the actual better team that night, they usually don't effect you.

Hell I even said Volquez was hard done by on that call in game 5. Only difference is they'd walked Bautista all series and he fought off about a billion pitches, and the umpire gave him (incorrectly) the benefit of the doubt.

Well they are mostly just leafs fans latching into anything they can.

I think it'll probably lead to more of a push to have balls and strikes review-able. Might not lead anywhere.

Meh no point, it'd slow down the game too much. Umps just need to be consistent and accountable.

lol

Don't u lol me. We are now mortal enemies.

I don't get it though. Am I not cool enough to be a baseball fan. I legit knew like every player from the ages of 6-13. I wanted to be Pet Hentgen. Clearly I don't pass Tonyboys test.

At 40 years old and 19 seasons of service, Torii Hunter decides to call it a career.

The man put on a show when he was in the outfield.

love Torii

<font color=goldenrod>Can't read another article about this World Series. I've analyzed the hell out of it for the better part of a week and still am completely 50/50 on how this will go.

The Mets' success hinges on the starting pitching keeping up with what they've been doing, and the offense being able to jump on the KC starters early. But no team hits the high heat better than KC, and who knows if the layoff will have an adverse impact on the Mets' bats, especially if they try too hard to swing for the fences like Toronto did.

Hell, both teams even have a compelling backstory. The Mets have felt like a team of destiny since Wilmer Flores hit that walkoff bomb off of the Nats days after nearly being traded. The Royals are coming off of a year in which they were a hit away from winning the World Series in Game 7 only to lose, which is essentially the baseball version of blue balls.

It's been a 15 year wait, who knows when they'll be able to get back here. Just gonna enjoy this while I can. Ready to watch some baseball.</font>

I think they've seemed like the team of destiny since Flores openly wept on the field. That whole situation was pretty cool. Especially how Terry Collins handled it.

<font color=goldenrod>The Flores situation was unlike anything I've seen before. It will definitely sting if they don't finish the deal here given how different the team might look next year. Nearly all of the players they traded for are impending free agents, with Cespedes of course being the marquee name. And now Murphy appears to be ready to cash in on a huge payday. Harvey and Familia among others are due substantial arbitration raises.

The Mets will definitely see a financial windfall from the extra revenue from getting this deep into October. The question is whether or not the Wilpons will be willing to reinvest those funds back into the team to either keep one of Cespedes/Murphy or bring in a big bat from the outside. The goodwill they've bought with the fans in the last couple of months will fade pretty quickly if they fall short of a championship and then do nothing in the offseason.

But alas, those are questions for the offseason and fortunately my Mets aren't there yet. Wish it was 8 PM.</font>

Well the Mets currently employ the Dark Knight, so I'd give them a pretty good shot.

Royals bring up one of their top guys Raul Mondesi Jr.

Wonder if this is game changer for the Series.
