If it goes Royals/Mets for the WS I presume it would get the lowest TV ratings ever.. Just from a sports fan standpoint

My tweets make people fight each other and cuss at me relentlessly. I love/hate the internet so much.

The Mets are my favorite to win the WS. They faced the best starting pitchers, and beat them, and I don't think they will face better arms.
— Pedro Martinez (@45PedroMartinez) October 22, 2015

The Cubs came in this year with one ace. Out of the sudden they got two, and two good ones. So they have a bright future as a team

If anyone needs me, I'll be writing "back to the future" part 4.Evil time lords Jules+Vern wreck havoc, altering contents of Grays almanac.
