Better than Matheny. Hope he writes a book.

Blue Jays finally have a decent winning streak and a chance to sweep the Red Sox. Time to send useless ass Dickey to the mound to inevitably give up 6 runs.
Dickey hasn't been that bad lately. I am less confident about a win when he is on the mound though. The worst part is that Martin is out of the lineup thanks to the Knuckleball.
This is pretty spot on. When it comes down to it its not that big of a deal, so eh. Always the Met games I go to are the most rage inducing ones, I guess that's it

Yeah, it's not like Thor ever intentionally threw an unprovoked pitch at an opposing player on the game's largest stage. And certainly not after telling the whole baseball world he world so just that.
Sorry if I find this Mets Blog defense a bit biased and hollow. Fuck him. And Utley. They both come across like tools in this machismo bullshit. The ump screwed up by not warning both teams before the game, so he probably shouldn't have ejected him. But that's his discretion and I hate the idea of unwritten rules and purpose pitches. Send your message by striking his ass out, not tossing at a dude's head or behind him.
Maybe I'm the anti-Goose Gossage. Maybe I'm a Millennial. I don't know.
Thor looked great in his second place silver jersey in the opening series. Might have been wearing gold if his manager gave him the Bumgarner treatment and sent him out to the mound a couple more times. Maybe this is will be your year, big guy. You've got the talent. Now stop acting like a tough guy d-bag on the mound.

The rule was applied correctly. The exact same rule was applied in the exact same way hours before in the Reds-Brewers game, but no one said a peep. Syndergaard iintentionally threw a 100 mph fastball at someone. The umpires have total discretion to eject someone if they think they're throwing at someone intentionally.
Too bad for the Mets that it backfired on them in the worst way possible. Now they come out of yesterday looking like petty losers while Utley looks like the baddest dude in the game.
Wait, are you suggesting that a Mets fan blog might be biased in their analysis?!

I don't know if this is true, but it seems like this year in particular, the macho-man culture of baseball has really come to the forefront and it isn't pretty seeing the dinosaurs who still follow it (Whether it be players, managers, umps, hell even certain subsections of fans) defend what is ultimately a spiteful and petty act. Really soured me.

I don't think it's just the "dinosaurs" who still follow macho-man culture in baseball
It's pretty much the entire sport. But that's true of just about every professional mens sport.

That was the absolute worst way possible to lose a game last night.

Glad you can find a silver lining from a Series where your team was totally dominated.
"Hey, we did really awesome on that one play! Too bad about all the ones that mattered."
Hell yeah. Too bad he missed.

Why the hell are you still trying to lord the WS (which by the way I think it's hysterical to say we were dominated considering we had late leads in 3/4 games we lost) over people?
It's fucking June now. You don't get to talk smack about the WS anymore. I don't give a crap about it anymore. Because it's June.
You do just as much to perpetuate this crap as "salty Mets fans"

How many years are they stuck with Arod?

1 more.
Dominated is an exaggeration. Pretty much all those games were won late, and thanks to stupid miscues. Let's not forget Thor made them look silly that game and Harvey did the same in game 5, and the adrenaline fueled call to keep him in the ninth was a mistake. More importantly, why do you feel the need to keep bringing up the World Series where it's not really relevant? No one cares anymore.

Moving to Bloomfield NJ in 4 weeks. Excited to see a game at Yankees Stadium later this year. Will like the Yankees alot more once with Arod is gone.
5 batters in and this ump looks like crap at the plate.
a number of questionable balls or balls clearly out of the zone called strikes on the white sox while those same pitches even more in the zone are being called balls for sale :/
at least sale isn't firing it up there at 96-97.
I don't mind if an ump is calling a big zone but they have to call it the same for both sides.

Lol wtf would I be salty about?
You are the one that loves talking about that first pitch. Like you get a boner every time Thor is brought up.

That seems to be his early game pattern, then he seems to be left in a game just a bit too long and he implodes. Wish we had a few runs, as I think That jays will need 4 runs to win this one.
JOEY BATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh hey the ump finally screwed up a call for KC at the plate.
doesn't change the fact the guy's strike zone has been garbage so far.
gah.. when ever you strike out swinging you should be off to the races until the ump calls you out. drives me nuts that they don't at least force the throw as you never know what can happen if you do :/
edit: if the review doesn't come back as out it will be bullshit, he comes off the bag with the tag still on.
I think he was safe initially but he clearly comes off.
and with how bad this ump crew is doing it's a huge plus for the white sox that the royals have used up their challenge in the second.
especially since I think their lead off hitter last inning was safe.

Yankees win w/ only one hit for the first time since 1914. That's pretty nuts.
