I just spent the better part of the past week watching the World Series. Here’s what went through my head, in no particular or logical order:
OMG, we’re in the World Series!!!
O.M.G. WE’RE IN THE WORLD SERIES. I hope this ends well.
Who the fuck is Andy Grammer? Oh, he did a great job singing the national anthem. I bet Billy Joel will be better because BILLY JOEL.
WAS THAT AN INSIDE THE PARK HOME RUN OFF THE FIRST PITCH IN GAME 1??!
This is not going to end well if that’s how we’re starting the series.
Did the last few days cool their momentum? I think it might have. I don’t understand why they couldn’t start the series a few days earlier since both teams were done way before Tuesday. Stupid TV rules.
My sister was not alive the last time the Mets were in the World Series. I remember watching the games. I’m really fucking old.
Really, Fox? A worldwide broadcast and you didn’t think to maybe have a backup energy source? It’s okay, though, because at least now we don’t have to listen to Joe Buck. #everyonewins
Holy hell, if I see one more Matthew McConaughey Buick commercial I’m going to scream. These are the worst commercials ever. Who thought these were a good idea? That person should be fired.
I cannot look at Jacob deGrom’s hair anymore. I want to send him a bucket full of hair ties. Pull that shit back, man!
So we lost the first two games. We’re going back to New York now. They’ll do better at home.
SEE?! I knew Billy Joel would do a great job singing the Star Spangled Banner.
Noah Syndergaard means business because DAMN. That was a hell of a way to send a message to the Royals that he’s not fucking around.
Did we just win a game?! We did! We’re coming back, bitches!
I stand corrected. The Norm MacDonald Colonel Sanders commercials are the worst ones ever. They actually hurt to watch.
Oh, Steven Matz is a Long Island boy, playing for the Mets. How cute is that?
Just how many broken bats have there been so far?
I wonder which is higher–my cat’s body count or the number of broken bats in this series. I’ll bet it’s close.
We might win this game, too!!
How old is that pitcher?! I could be his mother.
I have never heard so much nonsense come out of one person’s mouth? Did Harold Reynolds really just compare playing baseball to a rat getting cheese? I seriously can’t listen to these people. It’s almost as stupid as Alex Rodriguez saying that if the Mets catch the ball, they’ll win. #icandotheirjob
CONFORTO!!!
CONFORTO AGAIN!!! The rookie is kicking some serious ass.
Oh, hey, look at that. Daniel Murphy just fucked up. And now we’re losing. Awesome.
If I could ever have a time when I could read people’s minds, I’d love for it to be right now. Because what are they thinking???
Okay. We’re down 3-1. We can still pull this off and send it back to Kansas City. Then again, if Kansas City wins, a) I can finally get some sleep and b) at least the Royals don’t have the luxury of winning at home. Good luck to them, being the winning team in New York.
Matt Harvey is on fire! Also, he looks like Rob Riggle. I think I might be the only one who sees that. But it’s so obvious!!
Top 9, we’re winning by two. We’re going to win another!!!
Oh, hey, look at that. Lucas Duda fucked up. At least we can stop (sort of) scapegoating Murphy.
We’re going into extra innings. Again. Splendid.
A five run 12th? Who does that? We’re fucked. There is no way we’re winning this year.
Being a Mets fan is the most exhausting thing I’ve ever done.
In case you missed the news, the Mets did lose the World Series. But they made mistakes which I won’t bother to bore you with, KC took advantage of them and overall, played better baseball. It was still a hell of a season for the Mets. I, and I think most other Mets fans, never expected them to come this far and they made us proud.
Here’s to next year!
P.S. Congratulations to the Kansas City Royals and all their fans. Well deserved and well done.
I was thinking of you during this series. Being the always look on the bright side person- the Mets rallied and got to the WORLD SERIES.
They did not lose 13-0, or anything like that. Extra innings! And Billy Joel!! Good God, look at our Phillies!!!!
I hate when the same commercial is played back to back. Those cavemen commercials drove me nuts!
I remember when KC won 30 years ago- George Brett- now that is OLD! LOL! Have a happy Tuesday! Love, Steph’s Momma
Yes, I’m proud and thrilled that they got to the WS. But a win would have been even better 🙂 Regardless, they had a great season and we still get to hang the NL Championship banner.
Totally agree with you about the Buick and KFC commercials! They’re so terrible and they play them all the time during sports games! That sucks about the Mets losing, but it’s still awesome that they made it to the World Series! The Astros finally made it to the playoffs for the first time in 10 years and we were pretty stoked about that.

They’re terrible commercials. Just atrocious.
It’d been 15 years since the last WS appearance so that was awesome. And the team is so young, too, which gives me hope. Also, the Astros in the AL is a fact I’ll never get used to.
I still can’t believe the Royals came back to win that, especially that last game. It was definitely well deserved. I’m not much of a baseball watching person unless it’s in person, but through all the games it was a good year – lots of excitement and action.

Kansas City played amazing baseball. I have to give it to them. They definitely outplayed us and made less mistakes. But still frustrating as a Mets fan.
The only thing I think when I watch baseball is: look at his ass in those pants.
I definitely think that, too.
toronto lost and a city was devastated. because we now have to focus on the leafs and they always suck.

I was hoping the Blue Jays made it to the World Series because we totally would have won 🙂
I remember when the LA Kings won the cup two years ago the playoffs and last series was SO exhausting to watch, especially because they were going into double and triple overtime in every single game, giving me a heart attack. And yes the Norm McDonald KMC ones are horrible. Sorry for your loss. 🙁 You probably played a hard game. 🙂

Being a Mets fan is physically and emotionally exhausting. The extra innings were brutal.
I thought of you as this series went on even though I didn’t watch it because, hockey… But I completely agree with you about the Norm MacDonald commercials. They are absolutely awful. Supremely awful in fact. What some people will do for a paycheck…
Mackenzie recently posted…If I Waited For Perfection
Darrell Hammond was doing such a great job. Then they replaced him. I’d like to speak to the KFC people about this.
I was rooting for the Mets for you.
LOLOL @ the Norm MacDonald commercials.

They’re horrible. HORRIBLE. I need them to stop.
i’m sorry your team lost! i don’t understand anything about baseball… but, i’m sorry!

Haha! Thanks! It’s the only sport I follow and really understand.
Ha, when I heard about those outages I was thinking, “Oh man, lots of people are probably pissed..”
I don’t watch sports but The Today Show usually re-caps everything.
Amber recently posted…Hey, It’s Okay Tuesday!
It was more confusion than anything. And a little bit of annoyance. Then we realized no Joe Buck and it was all okay.
It is still fun that you made it to the World Series 🙂 Watching those types of games is so unnerving, right???? It is like the national championship game for college football to me haha.

Considering it’s the Mets and literally anything can happen with them, yes, it was exciting to simply make it to the WS. But it’s like being nominated for an award. Sure, it’s an honor to be nominated but you want the damn trophy.
How old is that pitcher? I could be his mother. Bahahhaaa! I think that ALL the time. Especially, since I still support and follow college football. They take off that helmet and bam! the kid looks like he’s twelve! Then, I start remembering what I was doing in college……..
The Astros have made it into one World Series. We were swept by the White Sox. I feel your pain.

He was 20. 20!!!! I couldn’t after that.
I am glad the Mets did not get swept. Close. But that one win kept it awa.
I totally missed the whole baseball season and didn’t watch any of it. Sorry they couldn’t eek out the win!
Kerry recently posted…Boo-tiful Weekend
I can’t even imagine missing baseball season. We count down to pitchers and catchers.
I wasn’t that invested this year and only watched two games, but I was rooting for the Mets!

I wish I would have recorded my thoughts during this series! I have a 23 year old son so *ahem* I really could BE his mother. I was like, “He is a baby!” We were rooting for KC but I wouldn’t have been mad if the METS won. I think it was an amazing, hard fought series – even with the errors(on both teams). I’m going through baseball withdrawal now…
