Mets, Terry Collins agree to two-year contract extension
More than half a million dedicated Kansas City Royals fans celebrating the end of a 30-year wait, a World Series Title. “We never think: ‘OK, the game is over.’ No. We always compete to the last out. And that’s what we did tonight”. Three times Kansas City was behind in the late innings and three times they capitalized on mistakes by the New York Mets to fight their way back into the game and win. A few fans were so ecstatic that they shelled out dollars for game tickets instead of objectively more important things like you know, rent.
During that same Letterman appearance, however, Rudd did say if the Royals won the World Series this year, “Seriously, two kegs at my mom’s house”. He had just one year and a team option remaining on his contract. 500 while they underwent a rebuild. During the top of the ninth inning, the Royals made a comeback after being down 0-2 to win the game, also making five runs during the 12th inning. “We’ve a very athletic team, we’re a very good defensive team”, Brett said. Remember previous year when I said our World Series berth meant that we had pulled our chair up to the table of great cities and that we would work hard to stay here?
The Royals ended a 29-year absence from the postseason last season by reaching the playoffs as a Wild Card team and won eight in a row to advance to the World Series before falling in seven games to the San Francisco Giants. “I’ll just enjoy the moment now”.
The Mets then intentionally walked Ben Zobrist to induce a double play with one out, but Cain hit a bases-clearing double off Bartolo Colon, making it 7-2 for Kansas City.
Deadlocked 2-2 after nine innings, the game went into the 12th with the title poised on a knife’s edge.
Perez singled down the right-field line off Mets reliever Addison Reed to open the 12th.
This year, his grounder drove in the tying run as Kansas City rallied for two runs in the ninth inning.
Familia did his job, getting ground balls from Royals hitters, but a slow roller was muffed by second baseman Daniel Murphy for an error that led to a 5-3 defeat.
“It’s unbelievable what those boys did”, Jonny said”. As Game 5 took place in New York, Monday was a travel day for the new champs, so the traditional ticker-tape parade is slated for Tuesday back in KC.
