Not as tough to take as 2011 but still sucks! Feel bad for Andrus...it's going to haunt him for a long time.
Can't wait until we face Bautista next year. Fast ball right in his ear hole!! (For the record I would probably have reacted the same way. But I'd also expect a fastball in my ear hole the next time we faced each other)
No question, Bautista has one waiting on him next year.Quote:

Yeah, they're not likely to win this. No shame in getting this far this year and losing to the best team in the AL.Quote:

No, there is no shame. But it never should have gotten this far in the first place, if they had finished the job in game 4. They're letting the Royals steal this series from them.
Definitely. But their bullpen has been shit for 2 months so expecting that to change now is not realistic.Quote:

All done. Great season for the Astros and really a year earlier than I expected. They aren't going away any time soon and October baseball will be a regular thing in Houston for years to come. :)
Yeah they are setup really nicely. Time to spend some money now and bring in some FA talent to fill in the holes.Quote:

He threw them his hat, batting gloves, his chest protector, his chin guards, tootsie pops and every baseball he could find which was about 25 balls.. When he was done he threw his bag over his shoulder, clapped for all of us and wished us good luck the rest of the way. It was so cool to see someone showing kids how it's supposed to be done. I was sitting there just shocked. After getting heckled all night he showed us what he is all about.. What a great guy. I'll definitely be rooting for him from now on.
:up:
I hated that Houston (who I'm rooting for long-term because of both steeler and their all-in analytics philosophy) had to play KC (who I'm rooting for more obvious reasons), but at least one of them made it to the ALCS, lol.
Go Royals!
So we have jaymo and Rudy against Jeff and that guy with the workout selfies who shows up every now and again.Quote:

Personal note. A good friend of mine was actually drafted by the Yankees 24 years ago in the 11th round. Jason Wuerch. Played with Jeter, Pettitte , Rivera boys and some others briefly in the minors. He never made it past A ball and was released after 5 years but it was cool to go to his first Tiger game back home when the Yankees were in town and see him chat with some old teammates near the field. He was a very clean cut kid and some of the guys on his team were pigs lol. He could never adjust to that lifestyle.
On a personal note, I grew up with Pettitte. He's 2 years older but was a grade ahead in school because he failed a grade in elementary school.
So you gave him the roids.Quote:

I went to school and played youth baseball with Mets pitcher Jon Niese. I actually was a pitcher as a kid as well as him, I just never had great control of the ball, especially on breaking pitches, so my pitching career never lasted past age 15. He stuck with baseball as we got into junior high and high school while I eventually went the route of football.
I also very briefly crossed paths with Chad Billingsley, but it was very briefly as he was 3 years older than me, so I never had much more than a year or two in the upper levels of youth and ACME baseball to be around him.
Yeah. Who knew that you and I had only 2 degrees of separation?Quote:

Yup. Home teams are in must win for game 3.
Tough start for the Cubs. Stick a fork in them.
The Cubs overachieved this year. They were supposed to be a year or two away from a big push, yet they made the NLCS. The rotation needs another big arm to go with Lester and Arrieta with maybe another big bat. Not just the Cubs, but the Mets are going to be here for a long time, and you'll probably see the two teams battle in the playoffs again very soon. GO CUBS GO!

Sorry, Mets are gonna win by 4 tonight, according to the 1986 WS. :D
Since the Jays were knocked out I have watched less than 1 inning of the World Series. Two teams I don't follow or care about = zero inerest.
That is less than 1 inning more than I have watched.Quote:
