Sooooooo Pretty Much The Kansas City Royals Pulled A Houston Astros And Cheated The Mets Out Of The 2015 World Series
This is all part of a huge thread that my #SonsOfUribe brother White Sox Dave just blogged about
Well I have seen enough! Someone get me every history book, media guide, and piece of internet content that lists the Royals as 2015 World Series champions because we have a whole lot of editing to do.

Once we are done with that, I want Rob Manfred to take, in his words, the "piece of metal" that the Royals took home on that fateful October night and return it to its rightful home in Flushing. Yes, changing the entire past of your sport based on a tweet feels like a lot. But I feel like baseball has done worse with less.
It always boggled my mind how the Royals were able to make #contact with EVERY FUCKING PITCH the Mets threw despite having some of the hardest throwers on the planet. However, if you know what is coming, suddenly it's a lot more understandable if you can gear up for the cheddar or offspeed shit in order to stay alive. Then all you gotta do is figure out a way to get the ball in play and let the Mets Met themselves on defense. Shit, Alex Gordon probably got tipped off to Familia throwing that quick pitch in Game 1 before tying it up and setting in motion the absolute nightmare that was the 2015 World Series.
Sure the Royals won a couple of games in New York. But at that point, the Mets were already trying to claw their way back into the series after the Royals stole the first two games. Even when he was a good but mortal player, I always thought it was weird that Jacob deGrom gave up 4 earned runs in 5 innings. After this new information came to light however, I suddenly am not nearly as surprised.
Hopefully all those Yankees fans that spent weeks of their lives examining every sound and stitch of clothing associated with the 2017 Astros have some free time so they can find a smoking gun or garbage pail for the Mets. I have also taken it upon myself to create a logo for all of us wronged Mets fans to rally around.
Boom, roasted.
I hope making it to the pinnacle of your sport was worth it to the Royals players, because they are going to hear soooooo many boos the next time they are at Citi Field. I suppose there's a pretty good chance there won't be one member of the 2015 Royals on the team by the time that happens. But we are still going to boo them so much, tweet mean gifs whenever they get hit by a pitch, and the chances of ANY of them getting a Hall of Fame vote from me is fatter than I am. Same for this cheating motherfucker.
