Last night at Citi Field in New York City, the New York Mets fought back from a 2-0 deficit against the Kansas City Royals in this year’s World Series. The Mets starter was the brilliant, young Noah Syndergaard, also known as Thor to his fans.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Tall, powerful and with flowing, blonde locks and a fastball that exceeds 100 mph, he has the distinct aura of the divine about him. He had a tough time early in the game, but seemed to gather confidence and strength as it wore on.<\/p>\n David Wright, veteran third baseman and captain of the Mets served as his human interpreter at the press conference after the Mets victory:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Alice Gwyn, Yahoo Sports: \u201cThor, you seemed a little confounded on the mound out there as the game started. The Royals kept getting hits off you no matter what you threw. How did you adjust?\u201d<\/p>\n David Wright, human translator:<\/p>\n Thor says, \u201cI could not believe that even as I shattered their puny mortal weapons, sundering them like match sticks with my offerings, they still managed to get little, dinky hits! It was black magic, I tell you! I looked to my captain and said, \u201cWhat dark arts are these? Surely Loki is behind such enchantments!\u201d<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n But in truth, never once did I stop believing in my mighty immortal powers, powers which you can see were reflected in the final score.\u201d
\nJoe Ainsley, New York Post: \u201cGood effort out there, Thor. The first pitch of the game was quite an eye opener. Was the high and tight fastball that levelled Royals lead-off hitter Alcides Escobar meant to convey a message and change the tone in the series?\u201d<\/p>\n
