Talk:2015 World Series

Wikipedia

I haven't got an audio source for it. But Wikipedia was just mentioned, during coverage of Game 5. GoodDay (talk) 01:47, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

The main broadcast? What'd they say? I'm watching, but I try not to listen to the announcers too closely. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:54, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

It was on Stream2line :) GoodDay (talk) 02:01, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't even know what that is. But okay. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:39, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

"Expert" predictions

In retrospect. it seems surprising that four out of six on-staff Sports Illustrated writers favored the Mets before the series began. In fact, three of those six writers predicted the Mets would take the series in six games. Oddsmakers also seemed to (slightly) favor the Mets. Is there a place for this in the article?

I'm admittedly a Royals fan, but I think the only thing that truly embarrassed the Mets was how so many of the hometown VIP seats behind home plate (the majority of them!) were abandoned in the final innings of game 5, and particularly in the 12 inning. Are Mets fans so fickle (or spoiled) that they couldn't bother to see their team through to the final outs, win or lose? I can tell you one thing: that would NEVER have happened in Kansas City had the shoe been on the other foot. Fans make a huge difference to a team's performance. Royals fans, rich or not, are loyal to the end. Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 19:50, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

So why do the Royals' best seats include a guy in a bright orange "MARLINS" jacket? I still haven't figured that one out. As for predictions, the Royals didn't get enough love this preseason, with many "experts" not expecting them to make the playoffs. I don't know how important it is to include the opinions of "experts", since I feel they typically know no better than the casual fan. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:54, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

See Marlins Man or the ESPN article. Elisfkc (talk) 20:00, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

LOL of course he has a Wiki page... – Muboshgu (talk) 23:25, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
