Very proud of this team...Alderson had much better vision than I had. I was ready to run him and Collins out of town a couple times. There is discipline at the plate, made the defensive plays that they were supposed to, and have just done a great job developing pitchers.
Great to see Wright get this chance...suffered through some real down seasons, but he battled back from Spinal Stenosis to get there.
This feels fucking great.
Hat tip to ED...has to suck, but I think we'll be seeing each other a few more times in the playoffs.
While I am disappointed in the way the Cubs played in that series I am pleased about the kind of season they had and optimistic about the future.
I am happy for you and all the other Mets fans. That team is really good and playing extremely well right now. Crazy good pitching, good D, good enough hitting...firing on all cylinders. They built the team in a very smart way and they are set up to be contenders for years to come. I'll be pulling for them as the NL reps in the World Series.
Daniel Murphy though...WTF???!!! The guy is a solid player and all but you gotta be shitting me. Most teams that make it to the World Series have a guy or two that for whatever reason plays way above his head in the postseason and the Mets have that guy in Murphy this year. Unreal.
Cubs fans have to hang onto the "Wait 'til next year!" rallying cry yet again but at least this time there truly is reason to believe that next year could be the year.
Until then, go Mets.*
*This feeling of goodwill towards the Mets expires at the conclusion of the 2015 World Series. They can go fuck themselves in 2016.
