But in 86 the home team lost the first 4 games.singaporesoxfan said:
Yeah, but the Royals did it in '85 and apparently something happened in '86.
Sure, but many more pitches in the fifth inning and deGrom's arm would have fallen off. That was a really bad stress inning.Gdiguy said:FYI - this is why DeGrom wasn't pulled earlier.
DeGrom was getting hit, but off hard-hit grounders that find holes, not extra base hits over the outfielders

This was so key, IMO. He basically carried the offense. Meanwhile, the Cubs swing and miss style was a great match-up for the Mets' power pitchers.Gdiguy said:
I'm still optimistic, it seems like KC's park is playing extremely big, and I'm not sure this Mets team is a great match for a big park that's hard to hit the ball out of. Citi Field should be a bit different (optimistically).
Realistically, the offense needs to get going; they're just not getting on base and stringing hits together, which was hidden a bit by Murphy going insane

I can never get enough of these. Fuck 'em and fuck '86. I will never root for anything Mets related after 1986. Never.

Getting swept is too good for them. I'm rooting for an excruciating loss in the 7th game. I hate the Mets but I want all the baseball we can get.54thMA said:I want to make sweet love to this post.
Fuck the Mets.
Right in their collective ear.
I hope they get swept.
What did they do to you except try to win and win? I don't get it.54thMA said:I want to make sweet love to this post.

I thought about that, but I'm doing a collectibles show in Hackensack NJ on Sunday and I want to see numerous ballbags wearing Mets gear wandering around with a defeated look on their faces down 3 zip...................a four game sweep will be humiliating considering a number of them I talked to thought this series was going to be a walk over for them.patinorange said:Getting swept is too good for them.

rembrat said:If Perez can apply that stuff to the ball and get it to his pitcher obviously that's illegal, it doesn't matter that after 200IP Jake deGrom was finally some what hittable.
Alas, no. I am ignorant, so I need educating. The Mets in 1986 carried out mass murders, rapes, puppy kidnappings in the Boston area? They were rude to your momma? Someone tell me, b/c I don't know. Why are the Mets particularly hateable? They tried to win and won, right? And what else? (I always thought the narrative was that the Boston 1)manager, 2)reliever, 3) first-baseman lost the series. Now I find out that the Mets somehow stole it. Or what?)54thMA said:This is sarcasm right?
Exactly this. What is the big deal? As already said it's legal for catchers or other position players.Doug Beerabelli said:I'd say he's using it to get a better grip on the ball to make better throws on steal attempts, but the Mets haven't had any baserunners, so.....
GUILTY!
