Arrieta looked human today. Too bad the Cardinals pitching sucked.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 05:27 PM) Arrieta getting a huge zone so far, yay Doesn't look too bad on gameday.

I didn't think it was even possible to hit a double of Arrieta.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 05:01 PM) If you don't really watch baseball and you have any relation with the city of Chicago at all you are definitely one of those members. That makes up a huge portion of their fans I would bet. I feel as if the fans in NY actually like baseball a lot. Plus the Yankees are there and they're usually good, so they get more hardcore fans. The Dodgers are usually good too, as are the Angels, so the fans in LA actually have a reason to follow the sport. The Cubs are usually bad and people around Chicago say they're Cubs fans but in reality, they probably watch one or two games a year on a regular basis.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) Wow, David Price in the 5th inning with a 6 run lead. Marcus Stroman in game 5? Wh...why? What the hell is Gibbons thinking?

I swear, the Cubs have more bandwagon fans than any other team in baseball.

Jays are going to get a game 5 it looks like. As long as Price doesn't choke, they should advance.

I was just telling my Astros fan friends how awesome it was to see the Royals lose...then they pull this s***.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 03:58 PM) Can't believe Houston blew this. I don't think they will win game 5 at all. Royals have all the momentum now.

There's your ball game. Way to wake up the Royals Astros bullpen.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 03:45 PM) Has he never let up a run before? He pretty much didn't in the regular season. He's given up 17 runs in his last 130 innings.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) Astros can easily score a couple runs but they have really overused their 3 main guys in the bullpen. Wade Davis though.

You'd think Hinch would have brought in someone who had better stuff than Gregerson. He has no issues getting ahead, but he just can't put these guys away.

Well looks like that's game. What a choke job by the Stros.

Why is Gregorson still out of the windup? If Hosmer wasn't running at third, they would have tried to squeeze twice already.

I thought the Astros needed at least one of those runs they stranded in the bottom of the 7th. Looks like they really do now.

Wow. Correa f***ed up.

The Blue Jays' bats came to play. 3-0 in the first.

Damn the Royals are resilient.

Why is Will Harris still pitching?

Here come the Royals. Bases loaded and nobody out.

Not even going to bother watching, the Cubs' chances of winning this game is probably 95%. Wacha would have to pitch a gem for the Cards to have a shot. I don't see it happening.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) Just goes to show how much losing one cog in their bullpen machine impacted the Royals. This is the year for teams arriving "ahead of schedule." So that means the Astros, Cubs, Mets and Rangers are advancing, haha. Shades of Andruw Jones there from Carlos Correa. Rasmus would have been a cheaper pick-up than Cabrera with more upside. Oh well. Rasmus is the kind of hitter that would hit .220 for us with no power and be a cancer in the clubhouse.

Ryan Madson sucks. KC losing Holland really hurt them. No way Wade Davis gives up 2 homers.

Astros go back to back.
