Short for Metropolatin or however you spell it

East coast freaks! Stupid name for a baseball team

Well we did beat Sale and Keuchel this year. Plus pounded Price once in the regular season and basically beat him twice in the playoffs. Matz is 0-1 with a 3.72 era in the post season. This game will again be about if our pitcher(CY)can give us 4-5 shutout or 1 run innings

That was a bummer.

If we don't win tomorrow whomever wins game 5 will probably win the series. I think we get one great start from Cueto/Ventura and one awful one, both have been either great or terrible.

Instead of using everyone a little bit tonight I wish we would've burned one guy and had multiple people very fresh. Hopefully Ned has his warlock voodoo going strong. Can we put him on a jet to NOLA real quick?

This is funny because my 72 yr old mother asked me the same thing. LOL

Whats a Knick?


Yes I know it was short for knickerbockers but WTF kind of name is that for a basketball team.

Effing Dutch and their short pants. Goes back to when they settled New Amsterdam [NYC]. The Knickerbocker name was a common Dutch surname, and they dressed in the short pants, so that style of dress was named after it. Just like your underwear is called your knickers.
Came to be shorthand for longtime residents of NA/NY through many generations, kind of like the DAR, to differentiate from newer immigrants and migrants to the area as it became a metropolis.

I think they should be called the knickerbockers then. **** New Yowk

I believe they wanted to unite the Dodger and Giants fans after both teams left for California. Hence the mixed Dodger and Giants colors.

Last year we led 2-1 also. Lost 3/4 to lose the Series.

They lost game 3 vs Toronto, too. Came back the next day and pushed their shit in.

Your point?

Entirely different scenario. Last year we lost game 1 at home, allowing SF to meet their goal of a split of the first two, so when we went to SF and hit the usual goal of winning 1 of the mid 3 on the road, we had to be perfect in the final two including knowing we were facing Madbum at some point in game 7.

Bumgarner pushed our shit in all series. We've scored more runs off of every one of the Mets big 3 then we did off of Him in like 20 innings or whatever it is.

It would be huge to win one in NY since not doing so would leave no room for error in the last 2 games, but having seen the big 3 once, none of em scare me or I doubt any of the Royals like Madbum last year

Metropolitan

They shortened it to Mets.

Yeah I'm quite pissed at ventura. That guy is a thrower - not a pitcher. Need an upgrade there.
