Dodgers or Mets?

7 of 7 but that was before the Mets trade deadline deals to improve their offense
I believe they were 7-0 vs the Mets this year. If I were a Cubs fan I'd want the Mets. If I were a Cubs fan I would have wanted the Cubs to start playing again right away. They're on fire, hopefully this little layoff doesn't cool them off.
Baseball is a funny game. Especially when you play damn near everyday from April to October. The only good thing about the layoff is extra rest for Arietta and Lester.
Well I guess I'll just take your word for it. The Tigers have went from hot to cold from the ALCS to the World Series. Swept the ALCS only to get swept in the World Series. We'll see how the Cubs fare
Now you're catching on. I watched it happen twice in the last 10 years. each time we had a week off. Before the playoff started though we had three days off.
BTW, I would rather play the Mets too I think, would have a real bad feeling to have to face the Dodgers. Why I am not exactly sure.
You want the mets because they don't have greinke and kershaw. They have lots of young, good pitchers but none have thrown a ton of innings so the hope would be as the stage gets bigger and innings pile up they tire and let up 4 instead of 2.
Yup, that's exactly why. 
BTW, I am sure we have cursed them now, so i expect a comeback win by the Dodgers.

Honestly, I think it's a toss-up. Mets offense is lightyears better than the Dodgers since the All Star break. So is the Cubs. While the Cubs didn't see Cespedes and David Wright, neither did the Mets see Schwarber or Baez, and only one of those series did they see Soler as he was on the DL. Greinke, or deGrom, and now Syndergaard as well, will not be available until at least game 3. Dodgers #3 and 4 pitchers are garbage though. I like the matchup against either, and I like any Arrieta matchup against Kershaw, which would likely be the scenario in game 2 should the Dodgers advance.
I'm not concerned about the layoff. KC had the same scenario last year (even longer layoff since they swept ALDS) and they didn't miss a beat in the ALCS.
I hope you're right on Mattingly getting the boot. Terrible manager. While they're at it they can get rid of the GM,Zaidi, also. His additions before the deadline were some of the worst I have ever seen for a team competing for a division crown. Been a Dodger fan for about 45 years and almost embarrassed to admit it.
Stan Kasten disagrees with you. Zaidi had a lot more say in those moves than you give him credit for.
