I'm not at all surprised by this.

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.

That inning was White Sox baseball 2013-2014 for the Royals, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Do the Royals have the fire power to come back 5 runs down?

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.

Why? It's annoying when the NL wins the World Series.

Let's see, let me think...oh yeah, I hate the f***ing royals? I think that's it.

Not sure who is worse with Buck, Reynolds or McCarver?

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.

 

 

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.

Sad that the question even needs to be asked. Reynolds is terrible though.

Sandoval's making himself some bank with this postseason.

Don't hold back man, tell us how you really feel.

A lot of wasted money in those seats tonight.

Fixed.

You better believe it. I know a guy who paid 660 for standing room only.

IIRC Sandoval is pretty much money in every postseason he has participated in. He destroyed Verlander all by himself a few years ago

I remember that haha. Verlander was even like WTF.

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.

From ELIAS: The team that wins Game 1 is 70-39 all-time in the World Series.

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.
