Where did this power come from Cardinals? Nothing like finding it in the playoffs...

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-13-2014, 08:43 AM

Lots of rain here today. 100% chance of rain all day long, so if they play it's going to be wet. Tuesday and Wednesday look dry.

It would be nice if you guys could stop it now. Thanks.

Only after the World Series.

kingfc22 · 10-13-2014, 11:59 AM

Great game last night. Panda just kills me sometimes. 2-0 count, bases loaded and he swung at what was likely ball 3 in the 9th inning. Giants just could not find the big hit last night when it was needed.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-13-2014, 12:47 PM

All the chatter about the Dyson comments are a bit ridiculous. If the Orioles need a statement of confidence by the other team's players to play well, they're already beat.

Indeed.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-13-2014, 01:20 PM

Really hope they call off this game soon. Would be ridiculous to have a bunch of people show up a few hours early only to have to go home and do it all over again tomorrow night.

On the positive note - StubHub pricing is starting to come down for tonight's game. Loge seats are now down to $175 instead of the $750 the were running on Friday.

Guess people don't understand that the tickets sold for today's game will be for tomorrow's game if it's rained out tonight.

I think you mistyped 'all playoffs long.' They've scored more times without getting a hit this postseason than I can count.

I saw that. Was thinking about picking up some tickets on the cheap for tomorrow as my wife and I are both off.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-13-2014, 03:12 PM

Tonight's game is cancelled.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-13-2014, 03:27 PM

Prices going back up now that people know they have until tomorrow to offload the tickets.

So awesome to see how excited a lot of the '85 Royals are about the playoff run......

Getting ready for the game! Breezy & cold! I'll be bundled up for the game tonight! Thought everyone might like to see an oldie but goodie!!! Fathers Kids game back some 26 years ago I think!! That's my daughter Brittany who just turned 28! Great times and memories and the Fathers always got beat by the Kids!! I know these 2014 Royals are making great memories as well with some of there Kids being born during the playoffs and a Great Playoff Run!! Let's keep it going Boys in Blue!!

How many of you have kids that you turned into Royals fans and this is the 1st time seeing them in post season? Has to be cool for you to talk about the old days & compare with the New!!

kingfc22 · 10-14-2014, 03:29 PM

And there is the big hit that was missing in Game 2!!!

Arles · 10-14-2014, 05:06 PM

Cards have scratched back to tie at 4-4, last few innings should be excited. As an aside, what is it about the 7th inning? I feel like St. Louis always scores atleast a run that inning.

kingfc22 · 10-14-2014, 06:24 PM

Giants find another new way to score.

It's called bring in Choate. Why he even is allowed to pitch is beyond me, yet alone start off an inning. I guess Wacha is hurt.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-14-2014, 06:53 PM

Another great move by one of the Royals players for a fan.

Hopefully tonight's game is over before the 12th inning!

The Jackal · 10-14-2014, 07:09 PM

Hopefully the O's can make the series interesting. They've been close games, so they certainly aren't out of it

BishopMVP · 10-14-2014, 08:27 PM

Andrew Friedman from the Rays to the Dodgers in a President role. Guess he'll hire the new GM.

He's going to likely be the GM. Ned Coletti is going to have a pretty nice job for a year or two basically doing nothing

Atocep · 10-14-2014, 09:32 PM

We'll see how long it takes Bill Paschke to start a war against this sabermetric-minded GM.

MizzouRah · 10-14-2014, 10:04 PM

Royals one game away from the WS.. they are on quite a run.

Ugh, that sucks.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 10-14-2014, 10:57 PM

Just speechless. I was resigned to the thought that I would never see the Royals reach the World Series. Now they only have to win one of the next four games to reach that level. It's simply unbelievable.

Earlier today, I was offered Game 5 tickets by my brother in law. I have to work that day, so I was extremely disappointed that I couldn't go. Now, I'm thinking that game may not even happen anyway.

So exciting.

Calis · 10-15-2014, 01:34 AM

Was on my way to work today and got a text from my brother asking if I could scoot out of work early if he could nab tickets to Game 3 of the ALCS. One way or another I'd find a way to go.

Ended up panning out so we made the trip up there.

Just a fantastic time, being a lifelong Royals fan who was too young to really have a clue what was going on in '85 it's just something I haven't experienced.The energy and atmosphere..just a blast.

The Royals are a win away from the World Series..this is something I never expected to be saying.

SackAttack · 10-15-2014, 02:51 AM

And the Royals still haven't lost a playoff game since Reagan.

I'm sure for SI, that joke will never get old.

Oh boo... that means the Rays successes likely won't continue. Maybe this will hasten a move?

Buccaneer · 10-15-2014, 11:12 AM

Move to where?

ISiddiqui · 10-15-2014, 11:25 AM

North Carolina... or Portland (two areas I've been saying for a while that MLB should expand to - we need 32 teams so we can have two leagues of 16 teams each and attempt to work on balanced schedules)

St. Louis Browns. Because St. Louis has the best fans and deserves to be returned their rightful second team.

Sorry, Dodgers fans, but this is just bad for baseball. The one thing really propping up Tampa is gone and the one thing really handicapping the Dodgers financial juggernaut is gone. Great move for the Dodgers, tho.
