Let’s go whoever

I was obviously thrilled to see the Mets win game five last night, and my biggest relief was that Chase Utley flew out rather than tie up the game. So now it’s Mets vs. Cubs, and although naturally I’m rooting for the Mets, seeing the Cubs in the World Series with a chance to make “Back to the Future II'” prediction come true is an entertaining notion.

And I’d like to share with you the best written article opening about yesterday’s game from the Mets website:

By Matt Monagan

Facing off against Zack Greinke — half-man/half-pitching robot sent here to destroy all batters who dare to face him — the Mets needed a few players to step up in a big way. They needed to string together a few hits here and there in hopes of scoring a run or two for starter Jacob deGrom. It would need to be a team effort.

Or, you know, Daniel Murphy could just do everything.
