October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 07:20 PM) Time to revoke the Big Game James nickname. Maybe it is "Pitching in"Big Game James as opposed to "having a"Big Game James. Because he does pitch in a lot of big games.
October 22, 201411 yr That inning was White Sox baseball 2013-2014 for the Royals, they should be ashamed of themselves.
October 22, 201411 yr Royals need to put at least a run on the board tonight to get that out of the way. KC was more than due for a clunker. Royals have to have a different script this series. If the NL truly is inferior, then hope in the long run KC overcomes and wins it in seven. As far as Shields, what GM/owner in his right mind would sign that guy to a four-year, 80 million dollar deal. It's just crazy talk.

October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 09:06 PM) Why? It's annoying when the NL wins the World Series. I feel like the whole AL vs. NL rivalry died a while ago with interleague play and the growth of free agency. The NL can win every year if it means the Royals & Tigers don't.
October 22, 201411 yr Bumgarner's pretty much the best pitcher on the planet right now. Lots of pressure on rookie Ventura not to get into that dreaded 2-0 hole going to SF for Game 3. Not an unexpected result to anyone who's been following both Shields and Madison this post-season.
October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 09:19 PM) Not sure who is worse with Buck, Reynolds or McCarver? Sad that the question even needs to be asked. Reynolds is terrible though.

October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 22, 2014 -> 03:01 AM) A lot of wasted money in those seats tonight. You better believe it. I know a guy who paid 660 for standing room only.
October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) Sandoval's making himself some bank with this postseason. IIRC Sandoval is pretty much money in every postseason he has participated in. He destroyed Verlander all by himself a few years ago

October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 08:19 PM) Not sure who is worse with Buck, Reynolds or McCarver? It could be worse. I was cautiously enjoying the opportunity to watch the playoffs this year without any interference from the human hot air balloon that doubles as Boston's DH. That tranquility lasted until yesterday, when I turned the game on only to see Nick Swisher sitting on one side of Frank Thomas, and a frigging RE/MAX commercial floating on the other.
October 22, 201411 yr Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 8h8 hours ago From ELIAS: The team that wins Game 1 is 70-39 all-time in the World Series.
October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 22, 2014 -> 01:20 PM) Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 8h8 hours ago From ELIAS: The team that wins Game 1 is 70-39 all-time in the World Series. A team that wins Game 1 has one way to lose the series in 5 games (LLLL), four ways to lose in 6 games (WLLLL, LWLLL, LLWLL, LLLWL), and ten ways to lose in 7 games (WWLLLL, WLWLLL, WLLWLL, WLLLWL, LWWLLL, LWLWLL, LWLLWL, LLWWLL, LLWLWL, LLLWWL). If you give both teams a 50% chance of winning each game, the probabilities of all those scenarios add up to 34.4%, which means an expected winning percentage of 65.6% for a team that has already won Game 1. That equates to a record of 72-37. That's a long way of saying COOL STAT MR. OLNEY.
October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 22, 2014 -> 03:42 PM) Peavy- 7 starts at Kauffman Stadium. 6.42 ERA Funny you mention that. I was just looking at tonights matchup and it seems to favor Royals,IMO.
