Right? It's a blow out, just take us to the start of the otehr game. 

 
The other game was on TNT while O's/Tigers wrapped up on TBS.

Whoops. Missed that.

 

[hbk72777]

Over/under that one of these teams will score at least 8 runs to keep the trend going?

 

[shawnrbu]

2 Innings, 2 web gems for Cain.

Feel free to start it. Games don't start till tomorrow so I didn't feel a need when I started this one. 

 

[staz]

Right. Duh. My bad.

 

[hbk72777]

Nice strategy, wear Weaver out with 50 pick off throws

 

[staz]

KC stealing homefield in Game 1 would be a nice punch in the mouth.

 

[MakMan44]

Nice pitch Vargas.

 

[geoduck no quahog]

I'm really at a loss who to pull for now. I can't go for any team that has homer hankies or thunder dicks.
 
That leaves out these two teams.
 
The O's really disappointed me on that one today.  Now I have to wait and see what they do in Detroit.
 
I can't imagine San Francisco falls for that crap.

They have orange towels. These playoff games are attended by a lot of casual fans who are being entertained. The tradtionalists are watching from home. Your criteria will leave you with a very limited field from which to choose. For me, its simple....go Royals and go anyone not named the Cardinals or Dodgers.

 

[VORP Speed]

I think having a thunder dick is good reason to root for someone

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ron Darling talking about the great second basemen in the game, mentions Phillips, Kinsler, Utley. No Pedroia or Cano. I used to like Darling. 

 

[William Robertson]

I like the Viagra babe.

 

[William Robertson]

And yeah, I noted with disgust that omission of Pedey. Absurd.

 

[PrometheusWakefield]

Catchable.
 
Gordon > Trout?

 

[PrometheusWakefield]

I like the Viagra babe.

Myself, I would prefer to get through a commercial break without thinking about erections lasting more than 3 hours.

 

[Oil Can Dan]

I don't see how that ball was catchable.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

No team in the AL with 60%? Wow

 

[mikeford]

Still waiting for #PLAYOFFTROUT to announce his presence

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Well there's #playofffreese

 

[William Robertson]

Has there been a challenged call in any of the postseason games so far?

 

[PrometheusWakefield]

2 Innings, 2 web gems for Cain.

Cain, Sal Perez, Alex Gordon. How can you not root for this team? One of the most likable non-Sox teams in years. 

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

So Ernie on the mic is a thing? This is going to take getting used to.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Is that Buchholz?

 

[nvalvo]

Cain, Sal Perez, Alex Gordon. How can you not root for this team? One of the most likable non-Sox teams in years. 

 
Not to mention YORDANO VENTURA, who is delightfully fun. 

 

[Dollar]

AOKI!

 

[nvalvo]

Aoki looks so pumped. 

 

[LuckyBen]

He'll of a catch there

 

[shawnrbu]

"Cain reached, but Aoki was able."

 

[rembrat]

Cain looked like he was going to dropkick him for a second.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

A OK
 

 

[mikeford]

Trap?

 

[William Robertson]

That was quite the play. I think KC may have destiny on their side.

 

[nvalvo]

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Destiny needs to start helping their offense, then.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Destiny needs to start helping their offense, then.

maybe destiny is waiting for the top of 9th?

 

[PrometheusWakefield]

 
Not to mention YORDANO VENTURA, who is delightfully fun. 

And Kelvin Herrera and the whole game-changingly awesome bullpen.
 
The Royals top 5 by WAR collectively produce 79.2 runs in defensive value, 20.6 in baserunning value and only 7.9 runs in value from their hitting.

 

[mikeford]

Screw this Royals lovefest

MOAR #PLAYOFFTROUT

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

uh oh

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

destiny looks dead. FFFFFFFFFFFF

 

[Lowrielicious]

was that change due to injury?

 

[rembrat]

I am so on board the Royals bandwagon. LETS GO ROOK.

 

[nvalvo]

Let's just appreciate that the Royals uniforms are total classics, just top shelf. 

 

[Rough Carrigan]

I'm shocked at what an excellent reliever Wade Davis turned into.  He looked like such a mediocre doofus as a starter.

 

[shawnrbu]

Such awesome D.

 

[hbk72777]

Ichiro jr

 

[rembrat]

THIS FUCKING DUDE IS NAILS

 

[nvalvo]

Aoki takes some weird ass routes, but that ruled.
