    Absolutely! That long flight from D.C. to San Francisco must have been brutal for the Nationals...

    Raise your hand if you had the Royals and Orioles playing in the ALCS back in April?

    Both teams have five days off between games. No advantage in this aspect...

    Love when the Big market teams are home watching the post season on tv.

    Me, too. Seeing both LA teams sent packing early was just fine with me!

    Yeah, it's been awesome so far.

    I have no pick for the WS right now, but I wouldn't be surprised to see both Championship Series go seven...

    No problem, I'm sure both sides of each series will have a lot of support.

    KC may have a slight pitching edge but Balt has the power hitting and overall hitting edge IMO.

    I think this is the matchup myself.

    But I would not mind the Orioles being there. A lot of friends are O's fans.

    Alex Gordon is one of the more under rated players in MLB, I think this is a nice coming out party for him

    I'm really beginning to believe that The Baseball Gods are carrying the Royals on their shoulders. Kansas City now has five straight postseason wins this year, but the absolutely incredible stat is that four of the five wins have come in extras. The confidence this team has right now must be through the roof. I'm really interested in seeing how they respond and bounce back after losing a game. That is, IF they lose a game...

    The Royals should wrap up the AL Crown in front of their home crowd this week. I don't see Baltimore winning more than one game there, if any...

    I still feel that he can be a legit superstar. I agree with you that Snider has cemented himself into the outfield picture.

    I was down on Snider back in the spring but he's definitely made me a fan. What an awesome year he's having!
    Pirates Designate Jose Tabata For Assignment

    By Jeff Todd [October 3, 2014 at 6:16pm CDT]
    The Pirates have designated right-handed-hitting outfielder Jose Tabata for assignment, according to the MLB.com transactions page. Tabata’s struggles led to him being outrighted earlier in the year, though he made his way back to the big league roster and ultimately played in the Wild Card game.
    Tabata, 26, has not lived up to the expectations that led the team to sign him to a six-year, $15MM extension in August of 2011. Over the 2012-14 seasons, he has logged only 901 plate appearances, slashing .266/.325/.375. Tabata also saw his promising early numbers on the basepaths (35 steals; 14 times caught in 2010-11) wither away (12 bags stolen, 15 times caught since).
    Though Tabata’s .771 OPS in part-time duty last year raised some hope that Pittsburgh would recoup some production from its investment, he again faltered this year. Over just 186 plate appearances, he posted a meager .282/.314/.333 line.
    In the end, the Pirates remain on the hook for $8.75MM over the next two years. That includes a $250K buyout for the successive club options that come with his contract. ($6.5MM for 2017, escalating by $1MM thereafter.) Though the early-career extension did not work out, neither does it constitute too serious an impediment, even to a small-payroll club like the Bucs.
    Tabata’s contract has already passed through waivers once, but it is not clear that he has much of a future in Pittsburgh at this point. As things stand, the Pirates seem likely to allow Travis Snider a chance this spring to hold off youngster Gregory Polanco for the regular role, perhaps deploying a righty bat to complement those left-handed swingers. Snider, who slashed .264/.338/.438 and hit 13 home runs through 359 plate appearances, has two more seasons of arbitration eligibility remaining.

    Agree, that they will finish the O's at home.

    Royals are on such a high right now. I thought that they will falter.

    Two more one-run games and yet another extra inning battle yesterday.

    The Royals are on a seven-game post season winning streak.

    I think that streak reaches eight today and the Royals advance to the World Series...

    Thanks, EM!

    Yeah, it's looking good but I can't quite count the Cardinals out yet.

    I'm hoping the Giants close it out tonight so the series doesn't have to go back to St. Louis...
