It is on.

Well, the Mets took care of business in Game 5 in Los Angeles...well, Daniel Murphy, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, and Jeurys Familia did anyway. And for the first time in nine years, they are playing in the NLCS. Against the hated Cubs. Game 1, I still can't believe this is actually happening, is tonight. Matt Harvey pitching against Jon Lester. 

It's pitching vs. hitting. 

The Amazin's vs. The Lovable Losers.

1969 and 1986 vs. 1907 and 1908.

Flushing vs. Wrigleyville.

Meet the Mets vs. Go Cubs Go.

Mr. Met vs...that weird Woo Woo dude.
The 7 Line Army vs. The Bleacher Bums.

Bob Murphy and Ralph Kiner vs. Harry Caray and Jack Brickhouse.

Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock vs. Bill Murray.

The City That Never Sleeps vs. The Second City. 

Nathan's vs. Vienna Beef. 

Real pizza vs. deep dish.

The MTA vs. The CTA.

Times Square vs. Logan Square.

Central Park vs. Lincoln Park.

The Empire State Building vs Willis Tower, or whatever it's being called this month.

And Me against my home.

Gonna be intense. Gonna be stressful. Gonna be a classic.
