Mets vs. Royals -- World Series this year, first regular season series next year (and 2 games against each other in each city). Of course, on Opening Day next year, the NFL would call it a revenge match for whichever team loses the main event next week. As a native of Larry Fine's hometown, there should be no doubt which team I prefer winning the Series.
Also, maybe it's time to have electronic balls-and-strikes calls. Ben Revere is not one to show much temper, but that second strike in his at-bat in the ninth inning was a tad out of the zone.
Start of rant:
In my opinion, the KC "Home Run" in the second inning was suspect, also!
While the KC fan that caught the ball told Erin Andrews that he didn't reach out over the outfield wall, the replay rather indicated otherwise! I lost count on the number of times the commentators have stated they couldn't see an initial call NOT being overturned based on the video evidence, only for it to be upheld by the Umpires! Then, the commentators revert to the rather convenient "It's really hard to overturn an initial call, so it's really important they get it right to begin with!" Well, no freakin' duh!
What's the point of the video review, if the final call is up to someone from New York who's nowhere close to the action anyway? It seems kind of pointless, in my opinion!
While I like the idea of electronic balls and strikes, I fear that would be subject to the same "But is the video evidence 100% conclusive?" scrutiny that seems to be selective in its application, anyway!
End of rant!
CHEERS!
