So the reason I missed the first pitch tonight was because I was at a
Halloween dance at Timmy"s school. The Mets make it to a World Series again
eventually (maybe) but Timmy is never going to be seven years old again, so I got to take
these opportunities when I get them.
I tried to follow the game on ESPN Gamecast, and I felt great when Noah Syndergaard struck the first hitter out with his high heat. Of course I felt sick when the Royals scored first. And then I embarrassed myself by dancing after David Wright's home run.
I drove home and missed the Royals scoring two runs in the top of the second, I put Halloween shows on the TV for Timmy and Tara and I watched the rest of the game on my phone. I may have to do that for the rest of the Series, for no soone than I did that, than Curtis Granderson hit a homerun down the right-field line to give us back the lead. The rest of our runs came off singles, solid base running and some sloppy fielding by KC. In other words, we beat them how they beat us.
But the man who saved our season tonight was Noah Syndergaard. Yeah he got roughed
around a bit in the first and second innings, but once he settled down he did
exactly what they said we couldn't do....and that was strike these guys out. That
was the thing that scared me so much with those games in Kansas City. It just
seem like the matter what Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom threw, these guys
hit it. But those six strikeouts tonight show that even these guys can swing
and miss sometimes.
Of course we're not out of the woods yet not even close.
We're going to need another big game tomorrow night from Steven Matz. But
tonight guys, we're on the board. I know it's cliche, but to win four, you have to
start with one.
We got it tonight.
