[Bombers]

I will be rooting for the Orioles, Royals, Nationals and Dodgers. A Royals @ Orioles ALCS would be awesome.

[1992casey]

A Royals @ Orioles ALCS would be awesome.

 

Even though the Royals and Orioles have never faced each other in the ALCS, it'd still be a throwback to the 1970s and 1980s when both franchises perennially fielded good teams.

 

Kansas City Royals Postseason Results

 

Baltimore Orioles Postseason Results

 

The Orioles' results omit their 1944 World Series appearance as the St. Louis Browns.

All I care about is the Cards swept in embarrassing fashion.

All I care about is the Cards swept in embarrassing fashion.

That could happen. Kershaw is overdue to dominate us. BTW, the start time has been moved up 2 hours on Friday. (I think)

 

Here's my post season picks from Monday (my Cards forum site)

 

American League

Royals beat A's for WC

O's beat Tigers in LCS

Angels beat Royals in LCS

O's beat Angels for pennant

 

National League

Giants beat Pirates for WC

Dodgers beat Cards in LCS

Nats beat Giants in LCS

Nats beat Dodgers for pennant and a Beltway WS

 

World Series: Orioles beat Nationals in 7

 

What about it Boys?

I'm still seeing 6:30 ET / 5:30 CT on the various web sites. Any updates that anyone can offer are appreciated, of course.

[Dead Simmons]

Though I have little interest in this game, I WILL tune in by the 8th. Hopefully it's not a blowout by then.

Extra innings again for the Royals.

I've moved some posts about this year's post-season in-game thread setup over to Issues. That'll make it easier for others to chime in and for moderators to review next year.

I was really impressed by the Royals last night maintaining a 2-2 tie for six innings and then pulling out the victory in the 11th. And their Wild Card win was one of the most exciting baseball games I've ever seen. I am rooting for them big time. Aoki made a couple of amazing catches last night and had a huge smile on his face; he was having a great time. I miss Aoki. Lorenzo Cain looks real good too. Let's go Kansas City Brewers!

[trwi7]

So why is Anibal Sanchez in the bullpen? He's their 3rd best starter, taking over in the 6th for their worst starter. I know he was hurt but even if you only get 4 or 5 innings a start from him, it's probably better than what you're going to get from Verlander.

[trwi7]

That might be the best sign I've ever seen. Shame I had just turned the game on so I can't take a picture.

Very Funny

[trwi7]

Yeah, Bryce Harper just crushed one to the third deck.

[DocLuna7]

Another great game today, that BAL/DET game was exciting.

[Lee16]

I am terribly saddened to see the Cardinals doing so poorly in Game 1, especially with that fine, outstanding citizen Yadier Molina on their roster.

[Baldkin]

I hate the Cardinals. You can go get him anytime now, Don.

[Polish Falcons]

8 runs off Kershaw in the 7th. What the heck?

[jerichoholicninja]

So the Cardinals drill Puig in the first game of the series. It will be an absolute joke when there are no suspensions from this. The Cardinals are trash. Absolute trash. The whole organization.

 

The Dodgers just need to keep taking aim at Molina and Holiday's head. Every at bat, up and in.

[Baldkin]

Dunno how Molina didn't get ejected

[Baldkin]

Yosted.

[Dead Simmons]

Yosted.

 

[1992casey]

I missed the Yosting. What happened?

[Baldkin]

I missed the Yosting. What happened?

2 on, 2 out in the 6th. Yost has 3 great relievers to get ten outs. Leaves his starter in to face Pujols. Tie game.

[pitchleague]

Going extras. Again.

 

So thankful to be loving out west.

[pitchleague]

And Hosmer strikes again. So great to hear those darn thunder sticks quieted.
