Mets gave another game away and now find ourselves down 3-1 in the series. Not pleased that we gave Game #1 and Game #4 away. We could have easily been up 3-1 and on the brink of winning the World Series. But instead, we find ourselves on the brink of elimination at home.

Not exactly a Bill Buckner moment, but close.

Well, I'm glad that's over.
Nothing would've ruined my holidays more than knowing the Mets won the World Series.
Congrats to KC, well deserved.

Terry Collins really blew it last night.
I agree with sending Harvey back out, but once he walks Cain, Terry has to pull him.
It's not like he got nibbled by the ump for the walk, all 4 balls were well out of the strike zone.
I was thinking Familia's poor outing's were what had Collin's gun shy.

Harvey has to take a huge hit here too. He likes to talk the talk, but he doesn't always show up.
I thought he had a miserable World Series. Game 1 was sad. He blows a 2 run lead and comes out after 80 pitches.
I had an argument with a co-worker about it. I don't care how many scoreless innings you throw, if you give it away at the end, it doesn't matter.
I think I have more of a problem with him because he likes to come off as a Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax type ace, but doesn't back it up.
If you're going to say " I'm not coming out of this game" , an elimination game, you have to get the outs.

And lastly, Sandy needs to take a hit as well. If you're going to build your team around pitching, you need to have a team that can field the ball!
The Mets booted everything this series. Somewhere back in spring training I made the comment that the Mets had the worst double play tandem in baseball. Was I that far off?
The Mets were dreadful in the field this series, from the first inning when Cespedes kicked the ball for the inside the parker, til the last, when Murphy kicked a routine grounder.

Congrats to KC. They really took it to the Mets.
They hung in against the starters and went to work against the pen.
You have to like that team. They never give up!

Anyone checked on Mac?

Nuts.

Could the Nats have made a worse hire for manager?
You have a franchise that has trouble winning in the postseason so you go out and get a manager that has done a terrible job in the postseason?
Baker will get them there practically every year, but any half way decent manager could pull that off with the talent the Nats have.
How many bad managers does Mike Rizzo get to hire?
