Mets vs. Royals Game 1

So today it all begins at Kauffman Stadium. Matt Harvey vs. Edinson Volquez. Game one of the World Series. If at the beginning of the year, you came up to me and told me the Mets were going to in the last game of the season, I would have laughed and said, "Ya gotta believe." Now I'm pumping my fist and saying, "Ya gotta believe." It's such an exciting time and these young pitchers have been consistently great. Daniel Murphy has other worldly and everyone has been contributing on both sides of the play.

The Mets have been a really fun team to watch, while Familia has just about saved the season for the Mets, let's look at what might have been. Flores should get an MVP just for staying a Met. I know it wasn't his choice but still he didn't have to hit that walk off homer two days after the no trade. But if they get Carlos Gomez, they most certainly do not get Cespedes. Cespedes doesn't go on the tear and say, "Hey Mets follow me, I know the way to the postseason." Like someone has mentioned, that no trade is the turning point of the season and the more I think about it, the more they are right. It had a snowball effect on the rest of the year. Even when Cespedes doesn't hit, his presence and what he could do is powerful enough for a pitcher not wanting to face him.

Daniel Murphy has six homers in six games. He's running the bases extremely well while playing solid defense. That 90 feet in game five was huge for the Mets. I hate to say it but he's probably playing himself out of Citi Field with this monster October he's having. I'd like him back but at the right price. Daniel Murphy is a postseason hero for the Mets and rightfully so. He's done all the right things while deflecting the praise onto someone else. He's a great team guy and when David Wright when down he was one of the leaders in that clubhouse. Selfless and a good ball player. During the regular season he tries to steal third (like he did in game 5 of the NLDS) but he gets caught. This is Daniel Murphy and he's been doing these things throughout the season, he's just been the punchline of the joke instead of the hero after the game. It seems to all be coming together for him at just the right time.

Harvey in the postseason has shown why fans want him to succeed. He's a bull dog out on the mound. I wasn't a fan of all the drama surrounding him at the end of the season but he's shown us that he can still do it on the field.

 It's cold, colorful leaves are the ground (a lot of orange leaves) while orange and blue will be on a diamond (not a court nor ice) on channel five tonight. It's an exciting time around.

8:07pm Game one of the World Series! Mets @ Royals. Wow, what a fun thing to say!

Ya gotta believe!
Let's go Mets!!!
