2015 World Series: Mets vs. Royals

Wow Clippard has failed miserably in the post season.

Even the innings where he escaped unscathed, seemed more luck than anything.

Good article, Mike.

In fact, even though I'm rooting for the Mets, I think that the fact that Murphy, who is having an overall monster postseason so to date, made such a major error at such a bad time in the same postseason in which he was previously knocking the cover off of the ball is a good thing. If nothing else, perhaps it will bolster the argument that players should not necessarily be judged for a single gaffe, even if said gaffe comes at the worst time.

The worst part of the Bill Buckner error is that two of his teammates (Calvin Schiraldi and Bob Stanley) were easily more responsible for blowing that game than was Buckner himself, yet Buckner has gotten (and continues to get) the lion's share of the blame for the Red Sox losing that game. There are many people that still believe that the Red Sox were winning, and that 2 runs scored on the play in which he let the ball go through his legs. In fact, THE METS HAD ALREADY TIED THE GAME, and even if Buckner had made the play and beaten Mookie Wilson to the bag, the game would have continued into what would have been the 11th inning with the Mets having all the momentum.

This is the only Series game I get to watch. I didn't know til this afternoon who won Friday and Saturday. If this is the only one, let it be the clincher!

I swear I heard some OHs on the National Anthem.

FOX's strike zone graphic is terrible!

It seems like all the Mets errors have become pivotal.

Murphy got to it that time.
