A woman I work with will be going to the game. Her son got tickets. He told her they were originally too expensive, but as soon as the KC guy got a leadoff homer in game 1, the price of tickets dropped substantially on Stub Hub.

Let's Go Mets.

I might have to take full responsibility for losing games one and two. I ordered the Mets World Series cap, I hoped it would get here for game one. I forgot about it suffering through game two. It just came. I didn't have the cap! Now I have my new lucky Mets WS cap! Now we're gonna start some winning.

A little disappointed that the WS logo isn't actually stitched into the cap. Its some kind of plastic, stuck on deal. Still, awesome as hell.

I also got this kool car.

GAME: Kansas City Royals (104-71) at New York Mets (97-76)
DATE/TIME: Friday, October 30 - 8:00 PM EST
WHERE: Citi Field, New York City, New York
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A
Playoff Series: World Series; Kansas City leads 2-0

The New York Mets were touted as the pitching-rich club heading into the World Series, but it is the Kansas City staff that has the upper hand so far. The Royals will try to ride their pitching to a commanding 3-0 lead when they visit the Mets for Game 3 of the World Series on Friday. As of this writing, no further information is available on Derek Jeter's engagement announcement.

The New York bullpen could not protect a one-run lead in Game 1 and Jacob deGrom had the same problem in Game 2, breaking down in the fifth inning as Kansas City overcame a 1-0 deficit and went on to a 7-1 victory. “Look, the Royals have a good team,” Mets manager Terry Collins told reporters. “We've got to make better pitches and we've got to play better.” Kansas City outlasted New York in 14 innings in Game 1 as its bullpen put up six straight scoreless frames, and then gave that bullpen a night off thanks to Johnny Cueto’s complete-game two-hitter on Wednesday. “We expected to be here,” Royals manager Ned Yost told reporters. “We expected to compete for a world championship against a tough team, and our confidence hasn't changed from the first day of spring training to this point right now.”

TV: 8:07 p.m. ET, FOX

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Yordano Ventura (0-1, 5.09 ERA) vs. Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (1-1, 2.77)

Ventura is making his fifth start of the postseason and is still looking for his first win. The Dominican Republic native – the third straight Dominican to start for Kansas City – has yet to complete six innings in those four turns but surrendered one run on four hits over 5 1/3 innings against Toronto in the decisive Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. Ventura is facing the Mets for the first time and is 3-3 with a 3.40 ERA in nine career interleague starts.

Syndergaard dominated the Chicago Cubs over 5 2/3 innings to win Game 2 of the NLCS, striking out nine while allowing one run and three hits. The rookie flamethrower recorded 20 strikeouts in 13 innings over the first two rounds of the playoffs. Syndergaard went 0-2 with a 5.86 ERA in his five interleague starts this season but was 7-2 with a 2.46 mark at home.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Mets 2B Daniel Murphy is 2-for-9 with four strikeouts and no home runs in the World Series.
2. Kansas City 1B Eric Hosmer is up to 15 RBIs in 13 games this postseason, including four in the World Series.
3. New York OF Yoenis Cespedes is 6-for-32 with 10 strikeouts in the last eight postseason games.

Re: IGT World Series Game 3 - 10/30/2015

I had a dream about Game 3 last night. Let's see how clairvoyant I am:

* Curtis Granderson will have obscene words written on his cleats, his mitt, and his batting glove, requiring Fox to pixelate his hands and feet throughout the entire game.

* With Jon Niese pitching and the bases loaded, a Royals batter will hit a ball of his foot so hard that it will roll to the center field wall. We'll all think that it was a bases-clearing double, and will subsequently be relieved that it was actually a foul ball.

* The Mets will be trailing 6-0 in the seventh inning.

If can choose two out of three of those items to come true, I'd obviously choose the first two.

Re: IGT World Series Game 3 - 10/30/2015

Never mind their presumed "strength:" maybe Syndergaard should throw some fastballs, for Christ's sake?

That’s a major deviation for Harvey, and while he most definitely pitched well enough to win on Tuesday, that pitch selection is not what made him successful in 2015.

Now, as expected, the Royals certainly put his fastball in play very often on Tuesday night, a total of ten times or 33 percent. But they only recorded two hits off of his fastball, one of which – the inside-the-park home run from Alcides Escobar – should have been an out.

As for deGrom, he threw a higher percentage of fastballs in his Game 2 start on Wednesday. He recorded no swings and misses on his fastballs and only three total on the night. He threw 53 of his 96 pitches for fastballs (four-seam and two-seam), or 56.3 percent. But that’s also under his season average – he threw his four-seam and two-seam fastball more than 60 percent of the time in 2015 as well.

Jacob deGromBut similarly to Harvey on Tuesday, the Royals only recorded two hits on the 53 fastballs deGrom threw on Wednesday. They put a smaller percentage of his fastballs in play as well, and actually did not put 18 of the 25 two-seamers deGrom threw in play.

In total, the Royals have recorded only four hits against fastballs from deGrom and Harvey combined.

I've been absent a few days. Please forgive me. As you may know, I was in KC, Kansas and other shit rotten places in the Midwest. First, fuck you to the fuck-head who tried to scalp me a game two ticket for $1,200. Eat shit.

But the flight home yesterday. Oh God. Screw all you Royals bandwagon pieces of shit with your Just-Bought-never-washed shirts and jerseys prancing about the airport like, well, you know how the Mel Brooks scene goes.

There were eight Mets fans on my flight out of KC. Do you know how I know? Because each and every one of those loyal souls was wearing a Mets hat and or shirt. Me included. You wouldn't see that if the Royals just lost the first two at Citi. No fucking way.

Crawl in a hole, KC, you and your fans fucking suck despite the outcome of the series.

That said, Thor is going to roll right though you tonight. Matz tomorrow. Harvey and deGrom part 2, as well. Wright, Conforto, Duda...yup, they'll be waking up and hell will be upon your doorstep, KC.

I know it's just perception, but I feel like every inning their leadoff guy gets on and causes chaos even when they don't score, whereas we're out 1-2-3 even when we hit the ball hard.

lol. No, just a complete drop out. Even during commercials.

I thought Harold Reynolds was full of shit half of the time. I missed Joel singing the anthem.

I appreciate that Syndergaard was willing to start the game with one up and in, but considering how close it was to the guys head he should just remain mum on this. They still got the message whether he admits to it or not.

HoJo agrees with Zvon. He tweeted that Syndergaard should stop talking about because he has to face them in game 7.

Ronnie was wholeheartedly in favor of the pitch itself though he didn't opine directly about Thor's follow up comments. The GKR and friends group in general thought the act itself was ok and good in that it accomplished making them uncomfortable and getting them thinking about it and talking about it I.e a distraction. They also seemed ok and again even agree with Thor "owning it".

Re: IGT World Series Game 3 - 10/30/2015

I think it's very kool that he did it, but he could have "owned it" after the series. I also think it's great he's being so ballsy, so maybe that plays in his favor.
