O's Vs. Royals sounds more fresh than Cards vs. Giants.....but that's just me talking.

I have a couple of long suffering Orioles fan friends, so I'm happy for them.

I have to say, I feel sorry for the Royals, if they do advance to the next round. The O's look like an unstoppable machine right now...

I'm disgusted. TBS is still messed up. Can't get KC.

Svengarlic · **Reply #228 on:** October 05, 2014, 09:00:42 PM

I see that KC is kicking more Angel ass. I love it. And Metel's boy, Moustakas, went deep again. Man, it would be nice if both small market MO teams beat LA's.

STILL no reception on TBS!.......Hold it! I got it. It was out for 5 hours.

My TBS was out briefly during the Orioles game, but has been fine during this game.

The Royals are brutal, and the Angels are futile. What's that sound I hear?

The Cards are like nuclear roaches--you can't kill 'em...

I'll tell you that I'm confused. On paper the Reds are the better team and I figured they would take the division walking away. Solid rotation, good hitting, best defense around. Brandon Phillips is the best fielding infielder since Ozzie Smith. I've seen him make plays that defy description. They had a bunch of injuries, but so has the Pirates and Cards. If ever a manager should be fired, it's Price!

Winning game 3 was huge, because I figured that whichever team DID, would win the series. John Lackey came up big. We can stop cussing out that rat bastard for now. Yeah...he's a giant prick, I've come to learn. But I have no shame.

(as long as he's winning)

Yasshole Puke, or whatever he calls himself, is not in the lineup for the Dodgers tonight, replaced by Andre Ethier -- Ethier the bottle or the hammer.

The Orioles and Royals get to sit around for 5 days, and wouldn't you know -- Friday's weather forecast for Baltimore is for showers.

Is it true, because the game was not on any channel I get, that Madison Square-Garden lost a postseason game? Hard to believe, Harry!

They're running Kershaw back out there on short rest instead of Danny Haren. If Kershaw tanks again, after knowing how bad he's been in post season games, the media will crucify Mattingly.

Shemp_Diesel · **Reply #235 on:** October 07, 2014, 04:19:43 PM

Yeah, Kershaw on short rest doesn't inspire confidence in me. Got a feeling the Cards may hammer him...

Svengarlic · **Reply #236 on:** October 07, 2014, 05:35:39 PM

OMG, it's a goddam fucking pitching duel!!!

Svengarlic · **Reply #237 on:** October 07, 2014, 06:40:22 PM

De Ja Vu....down 2-0 and they get to Kershaw again in the 7th! 3-2 Cards now.

Shemp_Diesel · **Reply #238 on:** October 07, 2014, 07:08:34 PM

I imagine if the Cards close this out, Don Mattingly will be hung in effigy in Los Angeles...

Magic Johnson should kick him in the nuts, and THEN fire his ass!

I swear, I NEVER thought we would beat the Dodgers. I'm so tickled right now that I'm gonna get shitfaced and watch the game again.

Svengarlic · **Reply #240 on:** October 08, 2014, 12:18:21 AM

It occurs to me that Cards/Giants NLCS may seem like this year's WS. The story is more compelling than any other possibility for the actual WS.

Svengarlic · **Reply #241 on:** October 10, 2014, 07:24:33 AM

The schedule makers must be insane. If they are going to make the playoffs so widely spaced and start the NLCS today, why not do both games, and travel on Football Sunday?

At any rate I'm becoming a rooter of KC. They hooked me. I'm picking them over the O's in SIX.

Shemp_Diesel · **Reply #242 on:** October 10, 2014, 12:58:19 PM

Looks like tonight's game may be called on account of crap weather in Baltimore--add this on top of the fact that both teams have waited about what seems like 3 weeks to even try to begin the ALCS and I imagine both teams will be a little rusty whenever this series gets kicked off....

Looks pretty bad. I hope they don't even try to start it. Brutal for the fans in the stands. Saturday has to be better.

Uh oh, shaping up to be a pitcher's duel in Baltimore tonight...

DOH! Almost had something going for the O's just now.

Shemp_Diesel · **Reply #246 on:** October 10, 2014, 08:16:45 PM

Everyone--including myself--was talking before this series how Baltimore had the power advantage and, of course, it's the Royals bats providing the thump tonight... Runs Svengarlic, Runs!!!!!

metaldams · **Reply #247 on:** October 10, 2014, 08:27:06 PM

First off, no CRASH GOES THE HASH tonight until this game is over or it turns into a blowout.

Secondly, I don't care who wins the ALCS, but I really hope the winner takes it all. Makes a much nicer under dog story than the Giants or Cards winning again.

Hell of a catch by Gordon as I type this! Amazing that good Boston teams have had trouble with K.C., but this year's team handled them pretty well. Kind of shocking, watching how well the Royals are playing now.

Svengarlic · **Reply #248 on:** October 10, 2014, 08:37:04 PM

The Royals do a hell of a lot with what they have.

Indeed.
