Kansas City will be trying for their first World Series title in 30 years, while the Mets seek their first Fall Classic crown in 29 years after most recently losing to their cross-town rivals the Yankees in the Subway Series of 2000.

Here’s what the Jays were saying after the Game 6 loss.
Harvey was slated to pitch Game 5 of the National League Championship Series but there wasn’t a need for one. How would he describe the 2015 Jays? The last time they squared off was 2013, when the Royals took two of three in their lone visit to Citi Field.
“It’s disappointing because this team should have gone all the way, all the way”.
“I don’t know, that’s the way baseball is”, Estrada replied.
BRYANT: No, this is a Cubs team for all the jokes – I like to make fun of you just ’cause we’re having fun and we’re friends, but this was a great season for the Cubs. It’s a insane sport. This team was going places and it was going to be special.
The Royals led 4-3. “You move forward and get ready for next year”.
“Now I wish I would have thrown the ball home”, Bautista said.
I’m not sure that there is another series in the past 25 with the same level of star power in the starting lineup. After posting a 2.72 ERA in the regular season, Kansas City’s relievers have a 2.85 ERA in the playoffs, and they are responsible for five of the team’s eight postseason wins. Even Cliff Pennington, an infielder by trade, taking one for the Blue Jays in the ninth of that massacre. Let’s hope they – right, but that’s why they go head and play the games.
“I don’t know yet”, he replied. The last World Series for the Mets was in 2000, when the Yankees beat them in five Subway Series games.
Cespedes said even if he is not 100 percent by Game 1, he would prefer not be the designated hitter because he wouldn’t feel like he’s “part of the game”. The Mets are the better team, and the Royals could see another team celebrate a championship at Kauffman Stadium for a second straight year.
He choked up as he looked skyward, thinking of her, but added, “She was there watching us again tonight”.
BRYANT: They came through.
Perhaps it was only fitting that Wade Davis closed out the win.
“The main thing Jirsch tells us is to keep running hard, never stop and we’ll go from there”, Cain said.
“This year I don’t think we shocked people”, Brett said. “It’s a great group and the most fun I’ve ever had playing”.
Against Toronto, in Game 3, in 5 and 1/3 innings he gave up three earned runs on 8 hits, with 6 k’s and 2 walks. And then game seven, if necessary, will be Wednesday November 4.
Dickey is available to come back if the club wants him, as the Jays have an option on him for $12 million.
You could also say Cain had no qualms whatsoever about delivering. “They set the tone last year and they had a fantastic year this year”.
The magic will run out of Daniel Murphy’s bat and the pressure that comes with the World Series will be too much for New York’s young rotation. We thought that’s a good mix.
Ben Zobrist and Mike Moustakas homered, and Alex Rios also drove in a run for Kansas City, which ended an embarrassing 29-year postseason drought just last season.

Price put two runners on in the third inning before getting Eric Hosmer to ground out to end the frame. Two years in a row. If we lost, we would finish second, and the season would be a disappointment. “There’s so many guys in here that really stepped up and became better players and it’s been a fun ride”.
