MLB Playoffs Thread

Brother Titofan It's starting to look like a sweep. KC pitching both starters and bullpen are tough. The Mets will have to score at least five runs tonight or it's 3-0.

Ahhhh!!! Take heart, MrBig!! The Mets averted a sweep by handing the Royals a pounding of their own. I'm so glad it's not going to be a sweep. That would've been sooooo embarrassing to what is in fact an excellent team. Seems like going to New York helped them out.

Damn, though. The TV network is so good at throwing a wet blanket with their statistics... LOL. I thought I saw a stat on the percentage of teams that fall behind in the WS 0-2, and still manage to come back and win the Series. It wasn't pretty, my friend.

Still..... if the Mets manage a sweep in New York and go up 3-2..... they can still pull it off.
Tonight's critical.

the way the mlb playoffs are set up helps the lower seeded team quite a lot, I like it, in the nhl I think they go 2 2 then alternate home games, having the 3 games in a row at home can really create some good momentum for the lower seed even if they lose the first two games. I hope new york pull it out but I think kansas have this in the bag unfortunatley

Yeah, I prefer the 2-3-2 format to all others. Less traveling, for one thing. Also, it balances things out a little bit, like you said. The home team might sweep you at the start, like KC did. But the next 3 games gives the other team ample opportunity to get back in it. And yeah..... I like the Mets.... but KC has an astoundingly solid team all around. Hard to pick the Mets in this Series.

The Mets need a sweep in NY to even have a shot. Very hard to win in KC

Man those Royals are never out of it. I love playoff baseball but never watch the regular season.

Wow. Royals are stealing this one. Both those runs should have been defended.

The Mets are a choke team. They should be 2-2 but the Mets choked away two games they should have won. Fuck them choke ass bitch.

Damn it!!

The Mets totally deserved to lose this Series. Errors galore, no batting whatsoever.... and just no perceptible desire to win. Daniel Murphy, after lighting up the Cubs with homeruns, went all meek at the plate, doing absolutely zilch. Not content with not batting, he suddenly became an error-prone infielder. WTF?!? His errors totally cost the Mets the Series.

Can't take any credit away from the Royals, however. They just kept on coming and coming.... like the tide. No stopping those guys. They totally wanted it more.

Bad weekend all around for New York (LOL). The Mets, Giants, and Jets all lost.
Oh well.....
