Geoff Grace Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Congrats on tonight's win then, Eric. By the way, did anyone else catch the f-bomb tonight as TBS went to break during the post game coverage? Someone could be heard saying, "Boom, motherf%$&ing..." as the logo flashed on the screen just before commercial.

Geoff Grace Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Go figure. First the Cubs eliminate the team with the best regular season record, then they get swept in the NLCS: Mets headed to World Series after sweeping Cubs with 8-3 win So much for Back to the Future. Instead, it's back to the drawing board. Even so, the future still looks bright for the young Cubs. I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the postseason again next year. In the meantime, congrats to the Mets and special congratulations to Daniel Murphy for becoming the first player to homer in six consecutive playoff games: Daniel Murphy Breaks a Record With Another Postseason Homer Best, Geoff My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJUSCULE Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Daniel Murphy's been unbelievable. Marco Estrada was dialed last night. He's been quietly putting the team on his back since July or August. Contract year, too. Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

area51recording Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I forgot to DVR the game.

Geoff Grace Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 That ninth inning might haunt Terry Collins for a while... That seems likely if the Mets lose tonight. And of course, the Royals have repeatedly demonstrated the endurance to win in overtime; so it's going to take everything the Mets have to win tonight.

MAJUSCULE Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Tough end for the Mets... Losing both games so late. Congrats to the Royals, well deserved.

Griffinator Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Royals probably get broken up this year - their big masher is up for a new contract, and no doubt they get outbid by NY, LA, or Boston...

harmonizer Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 According to a quick web search, it looks like the Royals were 16th highest (out of 30) in team payroll, while the Mets were 21st. Not sure if the list I found takes into account any salary impacts from mid-season trades, but if this list is correct, then the World Series was played by two teams in the bottom half of total team payroll for 2015. I'm a Mets fan, but congrats to the Royals - they are one tough team, who knows how to make things very difficult for their opponents when the stakes are highest. I felt like the Mets were pitching against a lineup filled with Paul O'Neill-like players from top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adan Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 This has probably already been studied by someone, whereas what I'm about to say is just speculation, but I think teams in the middle of the payroll ladder are in the sweet spot. Teams near the bottom, like the A's, have a problem in that they can't even retain homegrown talent. Teams near the top of the payroll are typically there because they're throwing money at free agents in order to boost off season ticket sales and broadcasting contracts, but the results to match up. I was rooting for the Mets, but have to admire Kansas City. They've structured their team around a game plan of pitching, speed, defense, and putting the ball in play. They've stuck to their plan and it's working. It's an exciting brand of baseball even if it doesn't give fans what everyone assumes they want . . . home runs.

Synthaholic Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The Royals won by playing classic National League baseball in the American League, then doing it better against the best National League team. I love it! Conversely, the Cubs had their season end by playing American League baseball: waiting for the home run that didn't come.
