We become Champions tonight.

Can it really happen???

IN for the Title!

How appropriate that it will be steady Eddie on the hill for the win. Our most consistent starting pitcher all year and with all the recent stuff with family tragedy, etc.

You can't script it any better to finish.


Baseball gods finally back on our side. Let's finish this!

Finish it!

In it to win it! Time for the magic to happen.

Bring that crown home fellas.

I really, really hope that Volquez goes out and throws a no hitter.

Al I really love your GDT but enough is enough. Lets make this one the last one of the year. TAKE THE CROWN!!!!

Oh god this is it.

Ready. Let's take it now.

Quote from Volquez:

"I'm pretty sure my dad is going to be proud of me when I pitch tomorrow"


Chills


That dude is going to be nails tomorrow night. Book it.

Let's go to work boys, get er' done!

This is ****ing happening tonight! We will be celebrating! I'm pretty sure I will shed tears. Don't judge me!

I need to go get some fireworks. This shit is happening.

:whackit: :whackit: :whackit: :toast: :toast: :toast: :BLVD: :BLVD: :BLVD: PBJ PBJ PBJ

I'll cry like a bitch probably. Don't care

I'm here for the gangbang.

I'll be crying as well.

Our days of suffering are about to come to an end.

Let's finish these ****ers once and for all.

I want to bask in the glorious New York butthurt!

[deep breath]...let's do it...

Ticket prices dropping. I said I'd only pay for tonight since it was so goddamn expensive.

**** it, I may have to do it.

Skip to 11:00 for the fun. The collective "NAHHHHHHHHH" from Mets fans after Moose's hit will never not be delicious.

I want to live in a world where I don't have to hear joe buck at all. Thank for that chromatic.

Classy Mets fans.

http://www.metsrefugees.com/forum/sh...22&postcount=4

Sad thing is if the situations were reversed there'd be a few ****ed up morons on here encouraging the same thing.

I'd like to see them try, just to have Volquez pitch through it and clinch the title. Put Mets fans on blast for the world to see.

Most costly errors in World Series history, by Win Probability Added:

1. 1986, B. Buckner, -40%
2. 2015, D. Murphy, -35%

The most surprising thing about that game is that Madson was the winning pitcher.

Madson like let them hate me as long as they fear me. I will bring the pain.

Let's do this!

Thanks for the great GDT's alnorth, as always.....and KICKASS ROYALS!!!!! :rockon:

My mother-in-law, who has been a Royals fan since Sept. 2014, said very seriously last night she thought the Royals would "throw" game 5 so they could win it in Kansas City. She is my wife's mother so I had to temper my response, but WTF, I think casual fans like her seriously believe that. I was all:

So excited, you guys. Can't wait.

The lady at convenience store said basically the same thing & I was like no they need to win it tonight so that we don't have to worry about a let down at home and give the Mets a chance. Geeze The guys have put everything into it and lets finish this thing tonight.

If I'm Ned I walk into the clubhouse before game time. I gather the team in front of a video monitor. I clear it with Salvy first, and then I simply play the last out from the 2014 World Series. Then I tell the team one thing, "take the field"


I know pregame speeches are not really a baseball thing but that's what I do if I'm Ned today.

Thats in every teams fan base. I want to win at home. I get that.

Seeing and sharing with my son my team winning a World Series live at home is one of the best memories I'll ever have in my life.

But as any rational fan knows, you go for the win. You can celebrate with the fans in a day or two.

This. I'll be an emotional wreck for sure

Oh yeah screw that win at home thing. Let's make New York our home. And then whoever wins the MVP and endures the speech by the Chevy truck man, pile the whole team into the back of that Silverado and cruise the streets of Queens in that bad boy.

Tears of joy are always the best kind

In for the FINAL WIN of the series. TAKE THE CROWN BOYS!!

I think I would prefer our Royals NOT to cruise the streets of Queens.

Just to reiterate what a piece of shit Noah Shithead is. Was watching a recording of game 2. Cueto pitched inside to Daniel Murphy AT CHEST LEVEL. The announcers talked about how that made him uncomfortable at the plate. That's how you do it, not pitch at somebody's ****ing head.

I'm here for the bukkake

It's so tempting to insert a #peeetethings quote here.

I would love for Volquez to get this

*** Official Kansas City Royals @ New York Mets World Series Game 5 Thread ***
 

In perhaps a cruel twist of fate, if the Royals win the World Series, they would get their WS rings in KC on opening day vs. the Mets.

Haha

According to Mets fans, the trick is to close your eyes.

Only on ground balls in the 8th.

Damn, son.

Pretty sure David Wright or Michael Conforto will get a gift that day, too...

Al, I love ya man. But I hope neither one of us starts another 2015-related thread after today.

Let's finish this!

That's called: Locked In!

In....lets finish it tonight.

I'm ready to blubber like a baby!

I'll toast to that. I've really enjoyed your guy's game threads this year. Here's to not having to be in another one until April

In for delicious Mets tears.

Oh and alnorth started thread = win

Courtesy of Volquez or Ventura? LMAO

This is the first morning in my life as a fan that I woke up a winner and KNEW in my heart I was going to bed the fan of a Champion.

Never thought I would say that I don't want to see another home game this year.

****
Yes.



That would be awesome.

Me too, I'm almost crying just thinking about it.

Too nervous to watch last night. Will definitely be watching tonight. I wanna see Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld cry.

I will be crying like a baby as well if we win. Deciding if I should go down to P&L District tonight.

Fresh Deer Tenderloin and Crown Town Ale from last year ready to GOOOOOO!!!

Oh shit. Since the clocks turned back, this thread was technically started yesterday! WE'RE DOOMED

Think about this...Ned Yost could be 22-9 in the postseason. Let that sink in.

NED "****ING" YOST!?!?!?!?

#Yosted has a new meaning!

DST Doesn't end until 2:00 AM. WE ARE GOOD TO GO BITCHES!

In for the win. Let's do this.

BUT LOOK AT THE TIME STAMP

son of a bitch

OK, next time we're playing a world series game in November the day after daylight savings time ends, someone remind everyone to not start the thread until after 1:00 am

The timestamp is incorrect due to forum software bug. The clocks don't actually change until 2:00 a.m. So when you posted this thread, it was technically November 1st.

I see this was already covered.

OK, we'll go with that

So if the 2nd FOX NFL game goes late will they switch over or are we going to miss some of the game?
