Mets’ Yoenis Cespedes: In lineup for Game 1

We thought that’s a good mix.

When the best-of-seven series shifts to New York, the National League champions will turn to rookies Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz. Appropriately enough, the 6-foot-6 Syndergaard goes by the nickname “Thor” for his resemblance to the Marvel character. “Good as the Metropolitans have been in the postseason, I don’t see them overcoming this playoff-seasoned team”.

The New York Mets are back in the World Series for the first time since 2000, and Mets fans are not pleased with Governor Andrew Cuomo scalping tickets for the upcoming games against the Kansas City Royals. That’s the highest for any postseason rotation since those numbers were tracked beginning in 2009, according to ESPN research.

Now, I’ve been a Mets fan for as long as I can remember.

Before the All-Star break, the Mets were a terrible 15-28 on the road. While fans of specific teams may not care (admission: as a Royals fan, I also personally don’t care about ratings and whether you watch), the networks most certainly do care about eye balls and viewers. “If Gordon hadn’t been injured, I don’t know that I would’ve been traded here”.

Dante Sasso: When I did my playoff prediction [on LTV], I did not predict that the Mets would make the World Series, so this is surprising and I’m super excited that they have.

“I didn’t know political ticket scalping was a thing”, one Albany insider told POLITICO. “We’ve still got to pitch to our strengths and our strength is power”, Collins said. Vólquez has a career 2-5 record against the Mets with a 5.70 ERA.

To honor the team’s success, Cuomo announced the Freedom Tower will be lit in orange and blue colors Tuesday to kick off the 2015 World Series.

And the last time the Mets were in the World Series (I was 11), I wept with an impressive amount of vigor.

CENTER FIELD – Mets: Juan Lagares, right, lost his everyday job because of his struggles against right-handed pitching, but was a Gold Glove victor last season…. Michael Cuddyer and Juan Uribe also make sense as DH candidates, and Mets’ manager Terry Collins will likely play the matchup game with his DH’s. But the Mets racked up those strikeouts in the Championship Series against a Chicago Cubs team that led the league in whiffing at the plate.

DS: What I saw was good pitching kept them in the game but their offense is what won their games. We’ve got to change speeds and continue to pound the strike zone.

Until the past few months, the Mets may not have realized what they had in the popular Collins, at 66 the oldest manager in the majors.

Harvey first started throwing 90 miles per hour fastballs in high school, then began his evolution into becoming a top-flight pitcher.

“You’re talking about a handful of guys that not only succeeded in matching the expectations that New York had for them, which is hard in itself, but surpassing them – all at the same time”, captain David Wright said. That is their longest layoff of the entire year.
