This. I mean it wasn’t fun while it happened, but yes.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I love how jazzed Pedro still gets over the Red Sox beating the Yankees.

[Fman99]

I turned it off and went to bed when the HBP made it 4-2. I couldn't watch any more. Was glad when I checked the score from bed to see the final result.

[Lefty Specialist]

Good. Now I can enjoy the rest of the post-season without anxiety.

Text conversation with two MFY loving friends

Me - hey charlie might be time for you to warm up , CC looks shot, getting hit hard"
CHarlie - Typical Mets fan....we still have 26 more wins than you
Me - it's banter, fucking relax ( I knew you would give me a history lesson, never fails"

God, what assholes

What happened to Mystique and Aura?

[Frayed Knot]

They fucked all their starters.
Yanqui starters for the series: 4 starts, 13 innings, 15 ER, 19 H, 6 BB, 9 K
and if you take Tanaka's 5 IP / 1 R / 3 H out of that mix it becomes 14 earned on 16 Hits in 10 innings

They were throw-ins in the Sonny Gray deal.

I'm glad there will be some stupid stuff to write about Stanton, umpiring, and the Yankees all offseason to distract from all the stupid stuff written about the Mets GM search.

I'm not looking forward to the "BRIAN CASHMAN NEEDS TO GO TO FLUSHING AND JUST TAKE DEGROM NOW RIGHT NOW DO IT OR GET OUT" stuff though.

25, but who's counting

I think the come back to that nonsense is "Well, then I guess the Mets were JUST AS SUCCESSFUL in 2018"

Or, "Come on over to my house for a barbecue. I bought some Fenway Franks. They seem to have taken the Yankee Franks off the shelves."

BTW- Yesterday morning, one of my co-workers saw Paul O'Neill in front of his local Starbucks. I said he should have asked him if he was getting coffee or juiced.

Just ask him, "Hey, how's the back acne?"

[Fman99]

I think it'd be fun to throw a big gatorade cooler at him.

26? He meant 25 right?

Also 100-77 is 23, so if that was his angle, he is still laughably off on the math!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Years in which the Mets failed to win a World Series: 55
Years in which the Yankees failed to win a World Series: 87

It's clear which team has the better history.

[Centerfield]

Michael Kay was on the radio today talking about how analytics cost the Yankees that game.

Numbers tell you a lot, but they don’t tell you everything. And I swear these next ideas were said (paraphrasing):

*Each game has a heartbeat.
*you can’t put a number on heartbeat.
*well you can, like 80 beats per minute or something
*you can only put a number on human heartbeats, not the heartbeat of a game
*maybe soul is a better word. You can’t put a number on soul.

I agree with Michael Kay. I think the Yankees should abandon analytics immediately.

[Frayed Knot]

Torre used to use the word 'heartbeat' all the time and largely for the same purposes.
You can probably get where Kay picked it up.

I never in my life expected to see those two words in the same paragraph. They have no soul.

And, to all those MFY fans who screamed "All rise" this year, court has been adjourned.
