Theo wasn’t going to come back twice, especially when this NY team has a surplus of pitching vs a Yankee team that was spent by game four.

By the way, having lived in Chicago, Cubs fans suck. It just isn't remotely comparable to Boston. I have no - zero - sympathy.
Have to love Cubs fans, still cheering, clapping and waving those white towels; for them, it's all about going to Wrigley, wearing your Santo jersey, being shoehorned into seats that were designed for someone who is 5'7", 140 pounds, eating half a dozen Bratwursts, drinking one or ten 40 ounce beers and then going home and shitting your brains out.
Yep the cameramen can show the long faces all night long. Mets fans must be yawning at this point.

Indeed, and that yanks staff was extra crispy after two extra inning games...DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:

Cespedes is out, Lagares is in CF... seems unlikely to be for defense this early, hopefully Cespedes just has a slight nagging thing that there's no point in pushing with a 6-0 lead

You got that right, Joe. As in: the series.

Well it was the first time. After 97 viewings it gets a bit stale.MakMan44 said:
(haha E5 YAZ- "600 times" - Maybe you watch more TV than me)
from elias The Mets have not trailed at any time in any game in forging a three-games-to-none series lead. In big-league history, there have been only five best-of-seven series in which a team never trailed: four times in various World Series (Dodgers over Yankees, 1963; Orioles over Dodgers, 1966; As over Giants, 1989; Red Sox over Cards, 2004) and once in the ALCS (Tigers over Yanks, 2012).
Quick question: does anyone here know who the last team was to come back down 0-3 in an LCS? On my phone, don't have Google and I am dreadfully lazy...
At least it's amusing, unlike the billion Fan Duels/Draft King commercials you see everyone.E5 Yaz said:
I mean, it's still overplayed but it's going to take a while before "You're embarrassing me in front of Buster Posey" gets old.

Maybe in some fringe sport like basketball or hockey, but this is MLB we're talking about.
I think they are thrilled to just be there and have a lot of hope for such a dynamic core. What they don't know is that Theo is about to sign Price to a 10 year, 355mm contract.E5 Yaz said:
No, you don't. They simply aren't invested to the degree Sox fans were pre-2004. They just don't care that much. They go Wrigley to get wasted in the bleachers not because they care about winningCaptainLaddie said:
The crowd shots will be a fossil and his fossil wife dressed like the game is being played in Alaska, a wrecking ball or two with their hats on backwards, a younger guy with his glove in one hand and a pistol in the other, a middle aged dumpy housewife, a nerd with glasses and no Cubs gear on at all looking like he's at an insurance seminar and a young kid crying, showing us the curse of the billygoat spares no one in Cubstown.

- The Boston Red Sox vs. the New York Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series
- The Philadelphia Flyers vs. the Boston Bruins in the 2010 Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Semifinals
- KalPa vs. Blues in the 2012 Liiga playoffs
