Congrats to the loyal Baltimore supporters on the improbable ALCS appearance. jjs07 jjs07 is the first and perhaps only O's fan that comes to mind immediately. Without Manny and Wieters. With what some, including me, would call a patchwork rotation. Not even acquiring Burnett when the time and situation called for it.

Texted P proshares earlier today, that both Price and Wilson would find a way to lose. David Price didn't give away the game by any means or accumulate damage to his disastrous 1-4 postseason record intentionally. Now 1-5 due to Nellie, the Detroit killer. Ilitch and Dombrowski's windows are closing after all the tinkering, and win-now moves.

Keep in mind, C.J. Wilson is 1-5 in 9 playoff starts. 4.82 ERA. What I'm saying is, Royals sweep to establish an unlikely ALCS.

Not much to say. SUCH a great feeling. Beat 3 Cy Young winners to sweep. I thought the O's would win the series, but not like this. So proud of this squad.

The cojones on Buck in that 9th inning. Dude is a tactician.

:pimp: :pimp: :pimp:

Just need this Royals/Angels game to go 5....altho Royals got the momentum right now.

Would have loved to see Garrett Richards pitch in this ALDS. Damn shame what happened to his knee in a career year, where he'd be #2 slotted after Weaver in the postseason.

Weaver, Richards and Shoe is gonna make for a solid rotation next year gonna have to go out and find another starter and have Wilson as a 5th
 
Saw enough of Wilson in the playoffs for Texas to know he'd quickly give away the early 1-0 lead provided by Trout's solo shot. At Angel Stadium, a comeback would not be inconceivable with so much playoff baseball to be played in G3 but the KC crowd is raucous. Plus I'd bet on Holland on the back-end. Glad I called him one of the better closers in baseball at the midway point in 2013.
 
Three days before the end of the Baltimore Orioles’ regular season, in that relatively tranquil period between their clinching of the American League East title nine days earlier and the start of the playoffs six days later, Buck Showalter called Matt Wieters, his injured veteran catcher, into the visiting manager’s office at Toronto’s Rogers Centre and told him he had a mission for him, should Wieters choose to accept it.

Once Wieters said yes, the Orioles put their field general on a commercial flight to Detroit, where he spent the final two days of the regular season in the stands at Comerica Park, alongside the Orioles’ two advance scouts, watching the Detroit Tigers, the Orioles’ presumptive first-round playoff opponent.

It was a brilliant, simple, low-risk, low-cost move with the potential to pay off big. Wieters, out for the year following elbow surgery, was serving no real purpose to the Orioles in Toronto. In Detroit, as a third set of eyes — and with the unique insight of a current player — he just might see something that could win a game in the Division Series.
