I'm dead and all fired up. GO ROYALS!

So.Tired.Today

It was a great game, but more infuriating than anything. Ned Yost is still managing, so I'm not THAT excited. He put us in ever imaginable position to lose last night, but we still won.

You have the three best relievers in baseball, and your stud only goes 88 pitches? Lets put a rookie starting pitcher in for relief...That's what I would do...

Also, I don't believe he even knows what a bunt is.

I punched a hole in my wall, made my wife cry on her birthday, and hyper-extended my elbow from celebrating all last night. I'm awesome.

I had month-end inventory and had to change all the signage at the store for the new advertising window starting today. Didn't even get into the store until 11pm and then didn't leave it until 2:30am. It is 7:30am and I am headed back into work for an 8a-6p shift. Life is GREAT though. The Royals are in the true playoffs and my life is now TOTALLY disrupted for the next week or so of time (maybe TWO weeks?? THREE???)

BANZAI ROYALS!!!

I'm talking about suicide squeeze and take the sure run when you're down late in the game.

Gore on 3B, down 8-7 in bottom of 8th, 1 out. No bunt.. wouldn't do it all year. It's fun, and has been fun, but Yost is awful. No two ways around it.

Life for the next week is disrupted I agree!! Go Royals!

As for bunting... I side with Yost on this one. There's a reason it's called a suicide squeeze, and even as fast as the KC guys are... all they have to do is put the ball in play. Instead, Perez chased 3 straight balls and struck out.

That last hit couldn't have been closer, either. If that had been a fastball instead of a curve, the ball wouldn't have curved left off the bat and Donaldson would've been able to grab it.

Status: offline 		I think the last time I paid much attention to baseball was 1988 when the Dodgers won the series in very dramatic fashion. My father has switched his loyalties to the Angels because they are on TV and the Dodgers aren't. He's hoping to see a Santa Ana freeway series before he is done with this life.

Baseball has buoyed him on this year which is the first year he's ever lived completely alone. He's not sure what he's going to do when baseball season ends.

Anyway, may the best team win and all that...

STL always has had Kershaw's number for some reason, and Matt Carpenter is usually the one to start it. Won't be hard tonight as the start time is way past my bedtime. I must be from Ork and not Gorn.

I just watched the Nats lose in 6 hours. Set a postseason record for game length, and longest Nats game ever both in terms of time and innings.

J. Zimmermann to the 9th inning, gets 2 outs. 1-0 Nats. 2 guys on base, and Pablo Sandoval doubles to score a run. Goes to the 18th inning and we lose on a mistake pitch.

If it had been about 15 degrees warmer (it's only about 50' F here tonight), several of the Nats' long fly balls might have made it out. It got colder and windier as the game went on. Other than Belt's home run, the Giants didn't really hit anything that hard all night.

Rough game to watch.

They were really, really close pitches. Could go either way. That was a rough walk. I wouldn't have pulled him. He had a chance to get a postseason shutout. That's pretty special.

The Nats do like to pull their starters early. In the case of Gonzalez and Strasburg, I think that makes sense. Those guys can be inconsistent. In the case of Zimmermann and Fister, not so much.

Looks like it's back to the eighties in the AL: Baltimore hasn't been to/won a WS since '83, KC since '85.
