Lock the Kansas City Royals in the garage and leave the car running.
The Royals won their first World Series championship in 30 years because they scored two runs off Mets ace Matt Harvey in the ninth - who, the debate in Queens will rage, perhaps should have been removed to start the inning.
They got the decisive run in this 7-2 victory in Game 5 when a backup middle infielder named Christian Colon - a hero of the 2014 wild-card game who had nary a postseason plate appearance this fall - singled in pinch runner Jarrod Dyson in the 12th for the lead run.
They were down a run with one out in the ninth inning of the series opener.
They won in 14 innings.
But they drove the Mets' ace from the game with a walk and Eric Hosmer's double, and they tied it when the Mets couldn't perform a fairly basic task - gunning Hosmer out on a throw home from first baseman Lucas Duda.
