Possibly Extraterrestrial Daniel Murphy Sets Homer Record as Mets Advance to

529 with four homeruns, a double, and six RBIs, according to the New York Daily News and was named the NLCS MVP. The clean sweep against Chicago broke countless hearts in the windy city last night, but gave Queens the chance to play in a World Series for the first time since 2000.

Yoenis Cespedes attended the Mets’ mandatory workout at Citi Field on Saturday but refrained from participating in baseball activities in order to give his ailing shoulder more time to heal. Any health issue for the slugger could be a big factor in the next round.

The Cubs bowed out after a 97-win regular season, an NL wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Pirates and an NL Division Series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Collins also praised Cubs manager and longtime friend Joe Maddon. As our guys offensively learn the game better, just knowing what they’re doing at the plate, what the pitcher’s trying to do to them, adjustments to be made, that’s going to be really exciting to watch over the next couple of years. They were soon joined by the rest of their jubilant teammates in the infield grass. He looks like he’s going to hit the ball hard on every pitch.

By wrapping it up fast, the Mets can now set up their imposing rotation how they want for the World Series. After deGrom, the Mets have Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz to turn to, and so far the Mets starters have been nothing short of incredible in the postseason. For once, the meme makers didn’t focus on Daniel Murphy bombing home runs, instead looking at how bad things are for the Cubs, at least at this moment.

Daniel Murphy, however, carried the Mets offense from start to finish, as he went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer in the eighth. Travis D’Arnaud also hit a first inning home run. Colon has the major league history with the longest gap – 14 years and 12 days – between postseason victories. Currently, the Royal are up three games to two on the Blue Jays; ALCS game 6 is tomorrow. While up double digits from comparable nights past year, last night’s game was down 16% from what the record hitting Game 3 in the NLCS pulled in on October 20.

The Cubs had the fans on their feet when they loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth, but wound up scoring only one run. Good for the Mets or whatever, but it would have been nice to see the Cubs win a couple of games. But Starlin Castro hit a line drive right to David Wright at third base, which killed the buzz of a multi-run inning. Kris Bryant’s two-run homer set the final score 2-0, breaking a Cubs four-game losing streak.
