Friday October 30th, 2015- World Series Game #3 -Citi Field, Queens New York.   The Mets came back to New York down two games to none as they'd like to forget those first two games in Kansas City. Tonight,  would be the first World Series game ever played at Citi Field. A full house of 44,471 came out to on clear brisk night to cheer on their Mets. In classic New York Mets style, Billy Joel sang the National Anthem & former Mets star Mike Piazza threw out the ceremonial first pitch.  Mets Manager Terry Collins sent Noah Syndergaard (9-7 / 3.24 ERA / 166 Ks) known in New York as Thor, to the mound against Ned Yost's Royals hurler; Yordano Ventura (13-8 / 4.08 ERA / 156 Ks).

Wednesday October 21st, 2015: October 21st, 2015: NLCS Game #4- Wrigley Field, Chicago:  With three games to nothing series lead, Terry Collins Mets were looking for the sweep to advance to the 2015 World Series.  The Mets had the hottest hitter in post season history- Daniel Murphy looking to break the post season consecutive HR record. They also had another fine young pitcher ready to make a start. Steven Matz who had come up in June going 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA in six starts on the regular season. In the NLDS he was the Game #4 loser to Clayton Kershaw. The Cubs manager Joe Maddon sent Jason Hammel (10-7 / 3.74 ERA / 172 Ks) to get the Cubs first win. Hammel got no decision in the Game #4 NLDS win over the Cardinals. In the top of the 1st, Curtis Granderson led off the game with a line drive base hit to left field.  Next David Wright struck out & then Daniel Murphy popped out to third base.  With two down, Granderson eventually stole second...
