WS GAME thread: NYM vs. KC
- Thread starter soxhop411
- Start date
I want every series to go 3-0: then the announcers talk about 2004, and in one team's clubhouse, I imagine them talking about the Red Sox, watching "Four Days in October", saying "Don't let us win tonight", etc. Maybe the Mets will ask Pedro to throw out the first pitch in game 4.
Exactly this.jhp64 said:
And it being a team from New York doing it - looking to the Red Sox for inspiration, viewing their opposition as the Yankees, the known chokers - just adds to the pleasure.
It turns tonight. Mets open a can of whoop ass on those cheatin', deceivin', no good roody poos! They're gonna look up and realize they ain't in Kansas (City) anymore.

I mean, I want the Mets to win, but not at the expense of the Red Sox sole ownership of the down 0-3 comeback. They go down 0-3 tonight, I am unceremoniously switching sides.
the only way sharing that record would be remotely okay was if it happened against the Yankees. and even then I am not sure where I stand.

The NY on their caps is enough for me to hate them. But to ignore 1986 is ridiculous.

I was 5 in 1986. And the Red Sox have won 3 titles since then. I can see why someone old enough to experience 1986 can have that hatred..but for me? I don't care about 1986. I hope the Mets win so we no longer see 1986 highlights. A friend of mine can't believe I'm rooting a NY team. I apparently shouldn't root for any team from New York, New Jersey, Buffalo, or Brooklyn. Though, it seems a lot of that is tied to being a fan of football, hockey, and basketball in addition to baseball.
I'm just a crabby old broad these days, but in 1986 I was a hopeful young thing, and I have just this to say: suck on it, New York Mets.
Isn't Keith Hernandez a dick about 1986 whenever he gets a chance? Also, second or third order reason: that Seinfeld episode made him pretty hate-able. Maybe, if DD adds to the new super core of kids enough to get to a series pretty soon, and the Mets might have the pitching to keep it going, we can meet them again. That would be an incredible series. For now, go Royals.loshjott said:
Are people actually calling Dombrowski "DD?"Al Zarilla said:
To me, "DD" is the guy who brought us Pedro, and is now GM of the Orioles.
mbarrett said:
A-Men! -- it took a botched grounder to first (in game one) to bring up the hate, but bring it up it did!
Hey, just before the pre-game on FS1, there's a program about you: "Haters: the Anatomy of a Rivalry" Super fans cling to age-old grudges, while brain scientists break down their passion. 6 to 7 tonight.loshjott said:

Why are the Yankees particularly hateable? They too tried to win, and in the past often won. Sports hatred is not particularly meant to be coherent. Hell, in most non-Sox matchups I can usually figure out which team I'd prefer to win, based on where they stand in my entirely arbitrary scale:
- Red Sox
- Nationals
- Royals
- Pirates
- Tigers
- As
- Mariners
- Rangers
- Astros
- Cubs
- Blue Jays
- Reds
- Padres
- Phillies
- Dodgers
- Twins
- Brewers
- Angels
- White Sox
- Orioles
- Rays
- Rockies
- Diamondbacks
- Marlins
- Indians
- Braves
- Giants
- Mets
- Cardinals
- Yankees
To anyone who wonders how a Sox fan can root for the Mets. I offer this. Check the second comment, from Vincent Candito on the Daily News Facebook page.

There will be a foul ball pop up that would have been caught that goes out of play into that box and people will be pissed.
Those additions will come into play somehow. That's how baseball works. They've angered the BABIP Gods and there will be blood.
Also, those add on seats have angered the Great Francesa- his seats are right behind the additions and he's pissed that his view is now obstructed.
What a chicken shit, tacky, hayseed, bush league, we're a pack of yahoos thing to do; good God is that hideous, aka, so Met like....................soxhop411 said:
I'm really glad you're ok with that World Series loss..InsideTheParker said:
I'm not.
That should have been the World Series win to wipe away the Curse.
The Sox had a miracle comeback vs the Angels in the ALCS, destiny seemed to be on their side.
They won the first two games in New York, then Oil Can Boyd and Al Nipper, who was in the rotation instead of Tom Seaver, couldn't get the job done. Seaver was a trade deadline pick up that year, got him from the White Sox for Steve Lyons; how terrific would it have been if Seaver pitched in that series and helped the Sox beat the Mets, his former team.
Nope, he was injured and couldn't go, so Nipper did instead.
They won game five behind Bruce Hurst, then the infamous game 6.
They were up early in game 7, Hurst pitched again and was on fumes and they lost the game and the series to the arrogant, cocky Mets.
My uncle, who was the biggest Red Sox fan I've ever met, should have seen them win that series; he died in December of 2003, the year before they finally won the World Series.
So, I will forever hate the fucking Mets; winning the World Series in 2004, 2007, 2013 and a dozen times going forward will never, ever change that.
Sorry, that's the way it is for me.
Fuck them.

Thank you for saying that, my feelings exactly. They were a loathable, coke-snorting bunch of cocky assholes, so that definitely made it sting. Given that you can't by definition lose to our biggest rival in the World Series, it still stung to lose to the OTHER team from New York...
On a different topic, am amused to see this little MLB factoid on ESPN's twitter feed:
I mean, that's great and all, but Harvey and DeGrom managed to strike out a total of 4 between them in 11 innings, so good luck with that Noah!
Oh, and GO ROYALS!
One of the best songs ever, and this great line to kick it off:
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
