I think Kansas City suffers their first postseason loss on Tuesday night...

I miss Baseball

Haha! Me, too! I don't remember there ever being this many days between series before.

I was hoping the League Championship Series would have lasted at least another game or two longer...

Shortstop · 10-20-14, 03:47 AM

Is it Tuesday yet?

EmpireMaker · 10-20-14, 07:27 AM

I does seem like it has been a long time between games but tomorrow is Tuesday and we have MNF tonight to pass the day.

True. It was nice to see the Steelers get a win tonight.

EmpireMaker · 10-21-14, 11:30 PM

Bumgarner was very good again tonight.

I took SF -101

Nice hit! Congrats, EM!

Yeah, he's just been amazing. Looking forward to seeing him throw again either Game 4 or 5...

Shortstop · 10-23-14, 01:44 AM

Well, it's 1-1 headed out to San Francisco. I still think the Giants win it all...

Chi_archie · 10-23-14, 08:58 AM

the beginnings of the games have been very good, anyone got the ratings reports?

EmpireMaker · 10-23-14, 11:11 PM

2 for 2 so far, I'm leaning toward SF for game 3

Chi_archie · 10-24-14, 08:06 AM

i'm liking the under tonight

Shortstop · 10-24-14, 08:45 PM

I couldn't get a good read on tonight's game so I passed. I'll root you guys in though...

I'm hoping The Royals win the next 2 and we can start some of the MLB off season business. I'm ready for changes.

Otters27 · 10-25-14, 07:43 AM

Royals going to win the series is they shelf Shileds. That is the only reason they lost game one. His arm is just tired

Chi_archie · 10-25-14, 07:55 AM

Still can't get over Travis Ishikawa getting so much playing time

Shortstop · 10-25-14, 10:30 PM

Looks like the Giants are going to tie the series up tonight.

I'm hoping it goes seven. Nothing like a Game 7 in any sport!

Yeah, it looks like he has 36 postseason AB's so far...

Barely remember that he started the season as a Pirate.

Absolutely horrible news about Oscar Tavares and his girlfriend yesterday. What a tragedy!

Shortstop · 10-28-14, 08:47 PM

Barring a minor miracle, this is going the full seven!

This is how every World Series should play out...

Robber · 10-28-14, 10:34 PM

Yes horrible about Tavares

His spirit lived on with Ventura

BigSpoon · 10-28-14, 11:05 PM

Game 7 is about 20 hours away, can't wait.

EmpireMaker · 10-29-14, 01:12 AM

Hudson VS Gutherie for all of the cheese
KC favored around -125

MexicanStallion · 10-29-14, 03:09 AM

Finally Game 7 is here. I'm ready for the off season moves and free agency. I"ll root on the Royals like almost everybody.

Chi_archie · 10-29-14, 08:14 AM

the last last game of they year

No disrespect EM, but after some thought, I like San Francisco and Kansas City to make it to the World Series...

BANG!

Originally posted by EmpireMaker

How do you see the World Series unfolding SS ?

Originally posted by Shortstop

I'm going with the San Francisco Giants, EM. How 'bout you?

Originally posted by EmpireMaker

That is who I am going with as well.

AND BANG!!

Chi_archie · 10-30-14, 08:01 AM

time to set up a 2015 thread and put the hot stove league stuff in there!

Also to remind Yankee fans that A-Rod and the $61M they owe him is back on the 40-man roster.

Good idea. This should be a very active and interesting winter...

Amen to this! The Bucs MUST find a way to sign Martin and bring him back...

Haha! Good post. I honestly had forgotten all about A-Rod.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how he does next year...

I hope he does well. Something like .275, 25 HRs

Me, too. I hope he has a monster year!

arod his for real going to play?

Shortstop · 11-03-14, 07:35 PM

I was watching an Arizona Fall League Game the other day and noticed a clock in the upper right hand corner.

Turns out, the AFL is experimenting with some new rules to pick up the pace of games.

they need to limit how many times per AB a player can re-adjust his batting gloves
