what's funny is that all season long I read ESPN MLB (comments)..and the arrogant Orioles fans did nothing but talk ****..and ppl would always say "don't worry..they will choke in the playoffs" lolol

I wouldn't say they choked, they won a series after all. They just couldn't keep up against a very hot team, with all of the losses being pretty close.

give royals all the credit. i know all teams experience injuries, but no machado and wieters made that series a toss up. was surprised that they took care of the tigers

If he had thrown home Crawford gets back to third. Make a good throw and its a moot point.

Welp, now I'm praying that the Cards can pull off the 04 Red Sox miracle. It's cool to have all 5 AL Central
teams make it to the WS during my lifetime.

Nice to see the Royals make it to the WS :pimp: hope this break doesn't slow down that momentum they have going
 
Cardinals are in a position to pull the reverse of what they did in 2012 when up 3-1 on the giants.

They went up 3-1 and only scored 1 run the rest of the way while getting blown out the final 3 games just like their 96 team did against the braves in the NLCS.

I think this ends tomorrow though
 
Bruce Bochy is too good of a manger to allow his team to falter like that. It's possible I guess, but highly doubt it. I think Bum finishes them off tomorrow.
 
On another note, while we've had some good playoff games this postseason. Quite a few extra innings games and alot of close games, every series has been one sided in terms of how many games they've went.

Do you prefer more series going the distance but not as many of the games being close and competitive, or a bunch of short series's sweeps and best of 5 series finishing in 4, where the games are close, could go either, way and have their share of extra inning dramatics.

Royals Orioles was a sweep but 2 games were decided by 1 run, another went extra innings, and game 2 was tied going into the 9th. Obviously its a sweep on paper, but it wasnt your typical overly one sided sweep with a few blowouts to me.
 
That's the beauty of it, you give props to Orioles for staying close in each game yet, KC took care off business in each of the close games, as if they weren't bothered with it being close. Anywho, for those who watched that series should appreciate the the sheer competitiveness of these two clubs but, also give an incredible amount of respect to KC for staying in control for the most part despite Orioles fighting back. I prefer a sweep with close games than a series going the distance with loopsided games. Of course, you can in fact have the 7 game series which each game is close, which is a great reward for me, even if my team (Giants) might be in the wrong end of it.
 
The Royals' sweep of Baltimore reminded me of the '06 Tigers sweep of Oakland. The games were close but for some reason every break went to KC.

Matheny has dried up the well with the bullpen. He continues to run the same arms out there and now they're gassed. They need Waino to go 7-8 innings but with how he's looked so far in the playoffs that isn't likely. Giants close it out tomorrow.
 
Cubs winning the pennant next year :nerd:
