Heidi Watney is such a fox.

Angels fans saying they should cut Hamilton or he should retire. I'm sure Josh is just going to walk out on $89 million due to him the next three years. Good luck with that!

 

[AlteredBeast]

Best baseball game I have ever been to! Crowd could not have been better. Tons of action, excellent relief work for the Royals, the playoff sweep of the best record Angels, etc.

I work over the phone and I am completely hoarse, lol!

Should have been the DH, at most

Starting to feel like the Orioles are going to win the whole thing.

Yeah, watching the Royals on this run has been fun, but I think Baltimore's power in their lineup will be the difference in that series. Will be fun to watch, though.

you can keep feeling that up until KC advances to the WS

Both #1 seeds getting swept out of the playoffs in the first round has never happened before, right? In any major NA sport?

 

[NameGenerated]

Is the Nats/Giants game only on MLB network? That's whack.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I don't feel good about playing the Royals. Just had a gut feeling that the O's were beating Detroit, and I'd have felt just as confident playing the Angels. But I don't feel that about KC. No real logic, just a sense. Either way, the good guys will be representing the AL in the World Series this year.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Fantastic day in baseball. May the best AL team win. Fuck the rest.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

congrats to you guys in Royals-GAF. Duane, JD, Askani. enjoy it. watching your team in the postseason for the first time is so fun. especially when the whole city gets in on it.

Can Dan Uggla become one step closer to a World Series ring? Let's find out tomorrow in San Francisco!

Is he actually eligible for a ring for his very short time with the Giants?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Is he actually eligible for a ring for his very short time with the Giants?

Yep. If you're on the roster for one day, you get a ring.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Yep. If you're on the roster for one day, you get a ring.

Wow. I always thought it was longer than that.

it's a smart move. Who wants to watch the Nats get swept?

 

[Calamari41]

God damn, congratulations to Royals Nation. Never seen an Angels choke job quite like that before. Not to say that you guys didn't curb stomp, though... if you keep this up I don't see how anybody left in this thing is going to stop you.

Edit: though the Angels did choke, the Royals' defense played absolutely out of their minds and robbed them of many hits and runs throughout the three games. Hats way off to them, especially in the outfield. The quality of play at right and center, especially in game one, won this series.

 

[BFIB]

Royals/O's is going to be so much fun to watch.

Nice!!
I'm working when they play but I'll be wearing my MadBum jersey in the office!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Hope somebody does a video of JR commentary the Cain plays

 

[Corran Horn]

Yep. If you're on the roster for one day, you get a ring.

My favorite are situations like bengie molina in 2010 where he gets a ring no matter what.

 

[Fox318]

Hah!

perfect

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Royals/O's is going to be so much fun to watch.

Ratings might suck but this will be as entertaining as baseball can get. Casuals will find the Royals to be entertaining.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

getting nervous....

 

[lazybones18]

getting nervous....

don't worry, Washington blows. You'll take care of them easily

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

So the game is only on the MLB channel? Gross.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

What happened to all the LDS games being on TBS/TNT?

 

[Little Green Yoda]

What happened to all the LDS games being on TBS/TNT?

Whar happened to all the LCS games being on Fox? What happened to all the LCS games of a single, rotating league being on Fox?

Might not be long until WS games are only on ESPN or FS1.

I'm not sure, but this is awesome.

 

[zulux21]

I'm not sure, but this is awesome.

I wonder how many fans ended up at that bar last night... I imagine it was quite a few.

 

[User 479360]

I'm glad the Orioles moved on, because I'm sick of seeing the Tigers play late into October.

 

[Syrinx]

Whoever wins the ALCS is the team I'm rooting for in the World Series. In the meantime, I hope the Dodgers win the NL Pennant.

 

[Askani]

By now, you have probably heard about Eric Hosmer and a bunch of his teammates using social media to invite friends to a bar downtown. You probably heard about the champagne being sprayed and that Hosmer — how cool is this? — bought drinks for everyone there.

But in the middle of that epic party after making the American League Championship Series, there was something else that tells a small but awesome story about a team and a town. The Royals star grabbed a bottle of champagne and handed it to a new friend of his, a salesman for a construction company. Hosmer told his friend to spray the crowd.

“You’re a part of this as much as we are,” Hosmer told him.

Hosmer’s friend is Tim Grimes. He’s 28 years old, a lifelong Royals fan, and recently diagnosed with stage IV cancer. Doctors have given Grimes around a year to live, and ever since the Royals heard about him, they’ve adopted him as one of their own. Grimes has been invited to watch batting practice on the field, sat in the Buck O’Neil seat, and watched Sunday night’s clincher from the team president’s Crown Seats.

This story is about more than just Grimes, and more than the way the team embraced SungWoo Lee, the fan from South Korea whose visit to Kansas City coincided with the team’s rise up the standings. This is a story about a group of baseball players accomplishing more than almost any of them ever have before, and their fundamental understanding that this is about something so much bigger than making and advancing in the playoffs.

Such cool story with the Royals, too bad this isn't an odd-numbered year otherwise I would be rooting for them too.

That Tiger...it lacks a tail. Seems appropriate.

 

[Blearth]

God dammit in outside waiting in line. I can hear Daniel Bryan but I can't see him!

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Daniel Bryan is on our side. Good luck MLB.

Ah a B+ player.

 

[zroid]

So why do some networks not use the pitch tracker? Is there something controversial about it?

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Ah a B+ player.

The man beat the odds and won the title! Not even Hunter Hearst Helmsley could stop him!
