Mets at Royals, 5:00PM PT, TV: Fox
Buzz cut wearers need not apply to this game, not with the Mets’ curly-haired Jacob deGrom going against the Royals’ dreadlocked Johnny Cueto. deGrom has won all three of his playoff starts this postseason, while Cueto has had a mixed performance, winning one and losing one of his three starts in October.
Both bullpens might be in a bit of disarray after last night’s 14-inning marathon.
Per WBB, Royals making mondongo out of the Mets!
What’s worse than mincemeat?
Mondongo.
One of the things I miss most from no longer living in Argentina are grilled entrails.
I do like chinchulines, but rarely eat them. Mondongo and dulce de leche are repulsive, though.
Royals making mincemeat out of the Mets.
It’s the middle of the seventh, and time to mute the broadcast for GBA.
I got the Peanuts crew singing TMOTTB…
Yeah, that was cute.
You were fortunate. I only have Gameday and radio, and was listening to the Royals broadcast (their announcers are not bad, though).
I think that’s about it for deGrom.
And…tied.
Cueto getting squeezed a bit, but doesn’t seem very acey.
I’m not especially impressed with Cueto. He wasn’t very good after the Royals acquired him from the Reds. As a No. 4 starter, he’d be OK.
Doesn’t seem comfortable, but his performance overall in 2015 seems at least a number 2 on most teams.
But No. 4 on the Dodgers.
The 2015 Dodgers. If Greinke goes, Cueto would be #3 behind Kershaw and Ryu, with McCarthy maybe pushing from behind.
He got better as he went along.
I think Mr. Orlando should really be from Florence.
????
Look at his name — Paulo Orlando. He should be a tour guide to the Uffizi.
It’s a very Portuguese/Brazilian name.
