Fuck the Royals. GO Mets!!!!
Terry just over managing, trying to seal it through 5 even though Harvey was way off tonight, that velocity, yikes. Shouldn't have started switching things around, we don't have a deep bench, use what you have.
The Mets will need some backup for game 2.
I KNEW HE WAS ON THE BAG
Holy shit, Qwerty is alive! :OFuck the Royals. GO Mets!!!!
Terry can't let Cuddy bat again, he's awful. Hated bunting over Lagares, I know Wilmer is a turtle but he had some great ABs and hit the ball hard, don't give up any outs with the human out right behind him. If Terry wants D then just play Lagares, Conforto pulled too early. Cuddy barely played and managed to k 3 times.
Ummmm, what at the Hosmer hate? He's probably the most liked first baseman among AL players. He chats and shares laughs with everyone on the other team, regardless of the score or outcome. Hell, the Royals announcers sometimes give him grief for being too friendly with opponents.
Fans love him. He never says a mean thing about anyone. I've never read a douche quote from him about not wanting a gay teammate in the locker room, a la Douche Murphy. He buys out the bar for fans after games.
Guys, I'm confused. What is a bat flip? Is it when they throw the bat after they hit it? Don't they all do that?
At least it wasn't as bad as Bautista bat flip. It was fucking amazingBat flip talk again. Baseball fans can be so fucking petty.
So Im hearing conflicting stories with Volquez, did he knew before he started the game or during the game?

An World Series opener marked by extra innings and technical difficulties scored a six-year high on FOX.
Game 1 of the Mets/Royals World Series drew a 10.5 overnight rating on FOX Tuesday night, up 31% from Giants/Royals last year (8.0), up 12% from Cardinals/Red Sox in 2013 (9.4), and the highest Game 1 overnight in six years since Phillies/Yankees in 2009 (13.8). It was just the second Game 1 over that span to hit double-digits in the metered markets.
The Royals extra-inning win, which peaked at a 12.1 from 10:45-11 PM ET, tied the highest overnight for a non-clinching World Series game since Rangers/Cardinals Game 6 in 2011 (13.8), matching Red Sox/Cardinals Game 4 in 2013.
The FOX telecast was marred by technical difficulties, which briefly delayed the game and forced the network to use MLB Networks international feed for parts of three innings. Ultimately, the technical difficulties likely had no impact on the numbers; only one at bat was missed.
Locally, Game 1 had a whopping 57.3 rating in Kansas City up 19% from last year (48.2) and the highest for a World Series opener in any market since at least 1996. The 57.3 tops Super Bowl 49 in February, which had a 54.5 in the market.
The opener also had a 26.2 in New York, down 37% from the Mets last World Series opener in 2000 (41.6). An obvious caveat is that the 2000 World Series pitted the Mets against the Yankees, no doubt inflating the New York numbers. By comparison, Phillies/Yankees Game 1 in 2009 had a 29.7 in the market.

Who else feels like shit today?

Only because of the outcome, not the lack of sleep. I watched Agents of Shield after the game and was still up at 7:30 for work! Let's Go deGrom.Who else feels like shit today?
I feel fucking terrible today. That was truly a heartbreaker last night. I think a win tonight is possible and extremely vital too though
Who else feels like shit today?
Overnights- not final numbers.
We beat the Super Bowl!!!
Took a lot of effort just to drag myself out of bed. I'm pretty useless at work right now.Who else feels like shit today?
Fucking Royals. Lose god dammit!
Not me.Who else feels like shit today?
If every game was as exciting and as compelling as last night, I hope it last the full 7.
Who else feels like shit today?
man, I really don't want Kansas to win this, but the idea of Cespedes getting a ring after we traded him away in our squad-destroying season irks me too much.
Darn right =(
From now on, it's the NY Mets vs. the Kansas Royals.
also, Mark Melancon NL Reliever of the Year. Not a surprise given league leading 51 saves and 96.2% save percentage. He also had the fewest meltdowns, IIRC.
I can't take the Fox announce crew tonight, switching to the alternate audio. I don't love the WOR guys but I'm desperate.
Also, deGrom looks nothing like his picture on the MLB app.
