World Series Goes Dark Temporarily On Fox; Mets & Royals Stop Play

The National Weather Service says it appears unlikely that rain in Kansas City will disrupt the first game of the World Series between the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets. “I believe that tomorrow I’m going to be at 100 percent”, Cespedes said Monday.

“It was a pretty awesome summer”, Harvey said, “We became good friends”.

Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson has a jammed left thumb but plans to play in the World Series opener.

Finally, Fox picked up the global broadcast helmed by Matt Vasgersian of Major League Baseball Network, and viewers saw Joe Torre and other Major League Baseball officials discussing matters with umpires and the managers of each team.

Tuesday night, the Royals and Mets will make news on the baseball diamond. That already makes them the most expensive tickets in baseball history.

Royals fans suffered a heartbreaking end to their postseason run last year – thanks to the superhuman feats of Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner – and the Mets hope to keep Kansas City fans waiting for another year.

This is important, even if you don’t know the difference between a pinch runner and a pinch of salt. The soon-to-be free agent has set himself up for a humungous contract after the World Series by homering in six straight games this postseason. The doctor told me my AC joint is a bit swollen, and that’s why it hurt.

More than anything, with the Mets finally able to shape their rotation exactly as they want, the choice of Harvey likely signals that they still consider him their true ace.

Speaking of the ‘pen, Toronto went 34 games in a row without a save, and rather impressively they won 18 of them.

Both managers agree that this World Series experience is very special. “And they really go fast”.

Sure, you could focus on those storylines.

For the Mets, the ubiquitous New York hot dog gets the nod, even if it’s made from processed meat. The Royals aren’t too bad either, with three batter hitting at least.326, including American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player shortstop Alcides Escobar (.386). I never had a job (laughs).

“There was like, 16 of us living in a two-bedroom house, and they had a pay phone on the front porch that you used to call home once a week”, Yost recalled. The next headlines will come from the playing field, rather than the interview room.
