New York Mets make it

You can now officially shove that prediction in the trash along with the film’s visions of hoverboards, self-lacing shoes and flying cars. This is the second-largest positive differential the Mets have ever had in a playoff series; They had a 15-run differential in the 1973 NLCS against the Reds, despite the fact that the Mets lost twice in the best-of-five series.

Of course, if Murphy’s postseason heroics seem particularly improbable, it’s because he’s never been an exceptional hitter before.

The New York Mets slammed the brakes on the Cubs’ surprisingly successful season Wednesday night with a convincing 8-3 victory that completed a four-game sweep of the National League Championship Series. Joe Maddon’s young team had many believing this might be the year, but the Cubs did little against the Mets’ fresh aces. New York went on to win the World Series under general manager Johnny Murphy. “We’ve all waited a long time for this and for it to finally come to fruition is well worth the wait and well worth everything we’ve been through”.

Here are some other tweets from celebrity Mets fans following last nights victory and few from other local sports teams.

The World Series begins next week and with it a ratings pot of gold for broadcaster Fox.

“He’s incredible. He’s on a different planet right now”, Mets first baseman Lucas Duda said. “The Karate Kid” star Ralph Macchio is a Mets fan and took a shot at the newspaper headline from “Back To The Future 2” that said the Cubs would win the World Series in 2015.

“There’s times when players, who are good players, once in a while they get a chance to show the world how good they really are”.

But if you either watched or didn’t watch Game 4, the question you may have had going in – besides whether the Mets would end the series or the Cubs might stay alive – is if Daniel Murphy could hit yet another home run?

The Cubs also loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth but came away with only one run on Kyle Schwarber’s grounder to first.

By wrapping up the National League Championship Series so quickly, the Mets have no restriction on when to deploy their impressive starting pitching options in the World Series. He added a double and two singles and has hit safely in each of the Mets’ nine postseason games.

Chicago left-hander Jason Hammel (0-1) worked just 1 1/3 innings and allowed five runs on four hits.

Cubs rookie Kris Bryants two-run homer against Tyler Clippard in the eighth gave a crowd of 42,227 something to cheer about, but it was nothing more than a parting gift for the Cubs faithful.
