IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

[batmagadanleadoff]

Maybe now, Jeff Wilpon'll order Sandy to sign J.J. Putz for 2016.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

People can't leave. How many left in '86 Game 6?

Not saying it's a good situation, but there could be history.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Way to go, Conforto!

[Zvon]

I'll never understand today's fans. How could you leave?

Conforto keeps it goin! Niiiice.

I hope that horse's ass trips over the dugout fence on his way out to jump around

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Failure to push across more than 1 run in a bases loaded with no outs situation is what set the Mets up for the eventual defeat tonight.

Nice hit by Conforto. We just need 7 or 8 more like it.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I feel bad for any Mets fans that hadda go to sleep around the 8th inning.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Yup. That bases loaded inning was killer.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Good night, guys.

This sucks, but we've got a good, young team and we'll be back.

[Guest cooby classic]

Okay dicks, get off the field so our guys can come out and say goodbye

[Elster88]

My biggest takeaway is two ninth inning leads blown and one eighth inning lead blown.

[Frayed Knot]

Last couple of WS Game Fives in Queens have kind of sucked, huh?

Bingo, bongo, boongo. And at the time I was very happy they got at least the one. But that was the turning point.

Hey, Harvey had a chance to be everything he thinks he is. He almost pulled it off. I tip my cap to him.

[metsmarathon]

way to win the World Series on a bad strike call. Jerks.

Holy fuck, what a goddamn close series. An entertaining run - albeit an ultimately frustrating run.

The players who seemingly cost us the most this series (Murphy, cespedes) are the two most directly responsible for getting us here. So, I guess, it is what it is.

Congratulations royals. You motherfuckers.

[Elster88]

I can't watch the celebration. I'm going to watch something less disgusting, like the zombie TV show. If the Mets come out to say goodbye and someone makes note of it here I'll flip back... Any of you watching the celebration have a stronger stomach than me

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking vodka.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I made this in the 8th inning. I'm not re-doing it. Consider it a gift to all you alternate universers.

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

I think if I was there I would hope as a baseball fan I'd stay around to see a World Series victory final out, as hard as it is to see my time lose. On the whole I'm just sad that there's no more baseball for a long time.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Baseball is such an unforgiving sport. That's all I got to say about that.

This is true. A harsh mistress. She'll break your heart.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I was falling asleep in my chair around 9:00 so I did something I've
never done for such an important life event... I went to sleep. I got up
at 4:30, cracked open a brewski (j/k turned on the coffee) and fought
the urge to look at phone or whatever to see the outcome the watched
without commercial interruption.

I just read the IGT, you guys are the best. Is there anything worse than
watching the season end with the visiting team humping each other on
your infield? I'm not ashamed to say my eyes welled up a little. I can't
imagine what it's like for players like Wright who have been through so
much with the Mets to watch the celebration.

This was much better than 2006.

[Ceetar]

d'Arnaud has to have an arm injury right?

[Edgy MD]

I dunno. There were more than a few of those steals where he had no chance.

FOX/MLB wasn't gonna let them get off the field too fast. too much going on for that, a car, gatorade, MLB had a stage..

I stuck around for 5. Too many cops for the Mets to get back out anyway. They had to make sure the Royals didn't bring champagne onto the field after all.

[ashie62]

Too much too Soon for the Mets. The Royals experience showed along with their edge in defense, baserunning, and the bullpen.

We will be back.

"I've got to make a better throw regardless. I'm not going to sit here and make excuses about grip or whatever. There are no excuses about what happened. It is what it is." "It took some balls. It really did take some balls. Down by one in the ninth, two outs, you've got to tip your hat. He got an outstanding read, and like I said, I didn't make the throw." "I know for me, personally, I'm not going to dwell on it. I'll definitely reflect on it. I'll learn from it. I'll get better from it. But hopefully, I'll move on." � Boo

For Kansas City's part, Rusty Kuntz insists Hosmer ran because of how well KC had scouted the Mets and they knew Duda's was an arm they could challenge.

And so Kuntz gets himself a ring, but a pretty shiny ring doesn't change the sad fact that his name is Rusty Kuntz.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

There's nothing I hate more than these tabloid "scoops" that reveal some freaky or unlucky thing that happened can all be explained by superior scouting.

This Duda one especially. Very much seems like an unsporting, self-serving victory lap, if that's what they're really telling the Post. And the Post of course has no story before the freak play gives them the idea to ask the question.
