The Mets made it to the World Series because Chase Utley did the unthinkable, which ruined the Dodgers clubhouse vibe and the 100 game winning Cards, who should have been a lock for the World Series, shit the bed against the Cubs. The Cubs completely fell apart, hence Mets in the World Series.
Often times, baseball is about matchups and the Mets were fortunate that they didn't have to face Pittsburgh or St. Louis. If they had, they've have been out early.
Furthermore, while their starting pitching is good (I'm not going to say "Great", like all of the Mets fans believe), their defense sucks, hence all the errors and they're not a hitting team. Without the acquisition of Cespedes at the trade deadline and Murphy coming alive in the playoffs, the Mets are a 78 game winner. They couldn't do dick against the Royals "inferior" pitching.
Yet those moronic douchebags think their team is better than the Royals, who won 92 last year, beat Oakland, swept the Angels and Orioles, only to lose in Game 7 of the World Series due to, literally, a Herculean effort by Madison Bumgarner, and follow it up with a 95 win season (going 10-17 in September as Ned dicked around with bozos like Joba Chamberlain and the lineup), only to whip the Mets in Five.
Yeah, complete luck.
Suck it, Mets fans.
