Let him have his moment.

Hell, any AL post-season without Boston or New York is a breath of fresh fucking air.

Fun fact of the day - the Royals are on a 7 game playoff winning streak, going back to game 5 of the 1985 World Series.   :cool:

Man, I didn't even know there were Royals fans before this year.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

There shouldn't have been a Game 7. But we all knew that.

Good God the Fox announcers are also up the Dodgers' asses. I mean LA is a good team but come on.

True.

Your guys had every opportunity to win the series in games 5 and 6, but just couldn't manage it.

I'm gonna let you have your moment, as Seedy suggested.  Because Nelson Cruz is going to be cruel enough to you.

Anywho, the Dodgers went ahead and announced before last night's game that they were going to start Kershaw today on short rest.  Because his last three postseason appearances vs. the Cards have to be flukes, right?? :menace:

I love Donnie Baseball.  His main guy falls down and Donnie's response is to show his total, unequivocal confidence.
That said, Haren closed the season pretty strong  . . .

I was starting to worry I'd have to eat my words until the 7th inning and I realized it was the 7th inning-- when the Cards do their damage :D

As much as anything I'm glad I don't have to watch those fake-ass Dodgers fans anymore this postseason.

As much as I'd love to see the Cardinals get another shot to rip the guts out of Nationals fans in the NLCS, I guess I'd be happy enough watching the Giants do it.  Speaking of which, bases loaded walk LOL

I still just cannot believe the Orioles are going to be playing for the American League Championship again.  In some of those dark days of 1998 - 2011 where I figured my last memories of the Orioles playing in this thing would be Armando Benitez and Jeffrey Maier.

Speaking of the dark days damn the attendance numbers for this year compared to 1997 were abysmal.  I wonder if they will ever recover.

THey could always move the team back to St. Louis and become the Browns again.

Well the average was still almost 10 times the average crowd at a 1953 St Louis Browns game :P

:lol:  St. Louis would find another Bill Veeck to keep things interesting & draw crowds.

OMG Pete Rose Skechers commercial :bleeding:
