The Royals are not winning the World Series

Rather, the Mets are losing the World Series.

Seriously. Mets should have had game 1. Except for a brief span after the All Star break, Familia never blows a save. He got up there to get three outs in game one when it was 4-3 and allowed a home run to tie it.

Mets should have had game 4. And if the Royals had gotten two singles to put men on base, I’d have a different opinion. But Clippard walked two batters, and then Murphy did a Bill Buckner and boom, the game gets away.

So yeah, sorry, Royals fans, but if the Mets were playing the way we’re used to, they’d be the ones up three games to one.
