The Mets are the group that survived a gut-punch from the Padres just before the Trade Deadline, that rallied time and again against the Nationals, that beat Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Jake Arrieta in the postseason and that otherwise, in nearly every situation that might have bedeviled them, found a way to survive. To thrive. So now that they are losing the World Series, 2-0, following a 7-1 Game 2 defeat to the Royals, they have little choice but to draw upon their deepest reserves of been-there-done-that chutzpah.
