Stonestreet is very vocal about his connection to Kansas City.

ROYALS HAVE EXPERIENCE EDGE Mets manager Terry Collins said the Royals have an edge by having been through last year’s World Series despite losing to San Francisco in seven games. “We just felt it was the best move”.
The Mets are in the World Series for the fourth time in their team history and the first time since the team played against the Yankees in 2000.
It’s all about the pitching for this one.
Instead, the financial crash caught out the Mets’ owners and the big-market team started acting more like paupers, to the increasing anger of their fans. Are you willing to pay that much to see the Mets? That style of ball could go a long way against this New York ball club. Microsoft’s Bing search engine now has a prediction for the outcome of the series. Their run from the latter third of the season to now has been a sight to behold. I don’t think anyone expected the Mets to win the division yet alone the pennant.
Ventura might get the only win for KC in this series. “Toronto is not here in the World Series and now it’s time to play baseball”.
The Royals need to use their speed to their advantage. Dyson would figure to serve as the primary pinch runner; he has 28 steals and has been caught just three times this year, including the post-season. It appears that Mondesi is fast too though, as displayed in Joey Nowak of MLB.com’s most recent article so perhaps Yost felt that Mondesi was a better bet at the plate. But meteorologists expect it to taper off shortly after the 7:07 p.m. first pitch, and there is only a 20 percent of light showers by 10 p.m. And I’d be shocked if the Mets lost this series as well.
Edinson Volquez starts for the Royals. “I don’t know if it was handled perhaps the right way, but I know this guy well enough to know he wants the baseball”. Even without this Murphy 2.0, I’d take the Mets. With him? No chance Royals fans… “You go out there and you’re getting booed and it’s fun to try to silence the crowd”.
There were fears he might miss the playoffs with season inning limits to ensure he did not damage his repaired arm, but Harvey is at 202 innings entering the World Series and counting.
New York Mets, begins tonight in the former city for a two-night stint before heading to Queens on Friday. Daniel Murphy continues his fantastic October and is named MVP.
“It was an unconventional way to score a run, but that was Royals baseball”, said Kansas City manager Ned Yost.
“The only one comparable to him that I’ve ever been around”, said Jonny Gomes, “was Manny Ramirez”.
Royals right-hander Johnny Cueto already has Mets righty Jacob deGrom beaten in one respect.
