Why No Mets/Cubs Talk Tonight

[jjgold]

Is it over?

[GiveMeaBJ]

Yes it is over and nobody cares. If Matz doesn't do it tonight they won't beat Harvey, Noah, and Degromm 3 in a row. Gearing up for Kc/nym.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Probably over, yes.

They are not 04 Red Sox.

[rpesi9955]

It's over.

[d2bets]

Probably over, yes.

They are not 04 Red Sox.

04 Red Sox weren't 04 Red Sox until they were. One never knows for sure.

You again?

[Booya711]

You again?

Got to give the guy credit for still hoping in a losing cause

[briedward]

Cubs are no longer contenders. They're simply circus performers now to sell tickets until their series loss is official.

[unde0087]

Sorry JJ, I was a bit hungover this morning, as the celebration went deep into the night. I will be posting here shortly

[ByeShea]

Not sure he has any credit left, at least if he's been putting his money where his mouth is. Swinging and missing 3 times in 1 series. Ouch.

And tonight: Mets +anything is a fukkin' gift. I know a shit-ton of people who took the Mets in the NLCS and for different games, but no one who bet a sweep.

And a sweep is what I think we're looking at because for the fourth game in a row, the Mets start a young talent who throws hard, gets Ks, and doesn't walk batters.

The only reason Matz isn't held in the same regard as the other starters is simply a matter of seasoning, but there's little drop off in pitching talent there. What really matters is he pitched quite well last time out vs. Dodgers under far higher pressure; but couldn't finish off Clayton Kershaw. Imagine that.

Now Matz squares off against Hammels, who lasted 3 innings last time out with hits, walks, and runs scored against him.

Until this Mets staff nails down the World Series, they won't get much betting respect. In the meantime pound the Mets and make some money.

Ps. Maddon is a fraud, makes Terry Collins look like a genius - this is the biggest surprise of the NLCS.

i shall ride your coat tails again!

[Rocco Rossi]

Any gambler worth his salt knows what to do the rest of this series

[MoeSedway]

Not much to add to what Shea has already said. The Cubbies biggest kryptonite is facing gas, and they are getting another dose of it this evening. Matz isn't going to touch 98-100, but he will sit 94-97 all game and mixes in a filthy change/decent curve. Rizzo and Schwarber can't be thrilled about facing this from a lefty. Wright and Cespedes are waking back up too.

There is blood in the water, and the Mets smell it. I already grabbed the plus money this morning.

[ByeShea]

This bet represents a better shot that Mets buttrape Cub pitching than Cubs will the Mets. These odds are out of whack and should at least be reversed. It's just another good betting opp in this series, like 2 out of first 3 games were.

Is Matz a top knotch pitcher? If not I don't like the mets

[NardVa]

No way the Cubs lose on Back To The Future Day...

[MoeSedway]

Matz is going to be a mainstay in the Mets' rotation for years to come. He's near the top of every prospect list and has already shown he belongs at this level.

[jjgold]

Shea great write up

Mets it is

[italianmafia]

Steve bartman will parachute to the top of the scoreboard after the national anthem and remove schwarber's hr ball. Cubs will go on to win series and the rest will be history.

So Cubs won't pound deep balls off him?

[italianmafia]

By the way terry collins stated matz could have a short leash, might be all hands on deck tonight as far as pitching is concerned. Under could be a play

[Booya711]

Cubs lose

[d2bets]

By the way terry collins stated matz could have a short leash, might be all hands on deck tonight as far as pitching is concerned. Under could be a play

But I doubt "all hands" would really include any of the starters. deGrom went last night, Harvey would go tomorrow. I suppose Syndergaard could be available, but do they really wanna use him in relief when he may be needed on normal rest? I don't see why heavy bullpen means under.

[innovation]

Even though he only gave up one base runner Cubs closer Hector Rondon took a bat to the water fountain out of frustration Tuesday night

[Bbfromgpt]

Wind gushing straight out

[deadstare]

cubs show some fukking pride tonight and win this one

[PorkChop]

Mets have scored a 1st inning run in all three games.

[smitch124]

All I know know is even down 3-0, if you win 1 game the series has a different feel to it. Win a 2nd game and the team that was ahead loses its swagger. As a Giants fan I knew that if the Tigers won game 4 in 2012 World Series they were in a dog fight.

[pilebuck13]

2 losses so far on the Cubs....u would think they avoid the sweep but mets are just jiving.....so over under what U guys thinking?

Tigers are just like Cubs. All power hitters, no baseball IQ. That's why we lost in 2012. Can't play small ball. Too dumb. Too many mexicans.

Wow smh

[smitch124]

Wow smh

Haha who is this guy, Colin Cowherd?

[No coincidences]

Too many mexicans.

You just can't make this shit up.

[smitch124]

What is the max number of "Mexicans" you should have on a roster?

[JIBBBY]

Need the Mets in this one.. Doubled up after the KC loss... Crash and burn if this doesn't hit..
