Have a funny feeling the A's win it all..

I can see them playing very loosely now that they survived collapsing.
First time in the post season  
Cam in MO : 9/30/2014 8:39 pm : link
since '85.

A lot of people called off work tonight to go to this game. It's gonna be loud as hell.

This is actually a hell of a baseball town when the Royals are good- or so I'm told, I've only been out here for 20 years.

WTF was Butler doing??  
DC Gmen Fan : 9/30/2014 8:45 pm : link
That's going to be tough to explain..
where did all of these Royals fans come from?

Gotcha. Well that makes more sense. Wouldnt be the first time a media overblew something.

Really is special. It's too bad that a lot of baseball fans don't watch unless their teams are playing.

I really wouldn't mind if Oakland or KC won the whole damn thing. Pirates are another team I wouldn't mind winning it all, although the fact that the fans are also Steelers fans makes them a lot less likeable.

I also think an LA vs LA series would be cool.

I want to see a Giants-Dodgers NLCS. That would be just as nasty as Yankees-Red Sox

this reliever seems to know how to start a fire

and pour gasoline on it. Not sure why he was the choice, but I don't follow KC enough to know.
The managing

by Yost in this game is close to a fireable offense. As bad as you'll ever see
Yost  
MookGiants : 9/30/2014 10:07 pm : link
brought a young kid who never relieves and has very spotty control to begin with into a one game playoff with 1st and 2nd 0 out. He was either going to walk the ballpark or groove one. You can't put him in that spot. If he was willing to go to Herrera in this inning, then he should have been the one that came in for Shields. Yost set that kid up to fail

Is Ernie Johnson doing play-by-play?

He stinks. Sounds like a tax attorney is announcing the game.

His call of Moss home run was awful, he acted like it was a routine fly to center field off the bat
Lester dealing now  
Rob in Rockaway : 9/30/2014 10:24 pm : link
10 in a row. Awful job by Yost.
and that's 10 in a row retired by Lester  
WeatherMan : 9/30/2014 10:24 pm : link
he might take this one all the way.
Yeah he botched the Moss homer.  
bceagle05 : 9/30/2014 10:25 pm : link
As the ball was in flight I was thinking to myself, "Uhh, it's gone, Ernie. Wake up."
I don't think that chick from before is getting her puppy.  
Exit 172 : 9/30/2014 10:28 pm : link
It's probably gonna take a blow job now.
Mook nailed it  
yownowbrwncow : 9/30/2014 10:30 pm : link
One of the biggest reasons to the Royals made the playoffs is their fantastic bullpen. Three different relievers with 60+ IP & an ERA below 1.45.

So when Shields struggles through 5+ innings and obviously needs the hook, Yost calls in... Yordano Ventura? A rookie pitcher with 1 career relief appearance. Incredibly dumb decision.
Hell of an at-bat,  
Exit 172 : 9/30/2014 10:40 pm : link
Gordon. Not like you need to swing the bat or anything...
They need a better angle on the replay  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 9/30/2014 11:01 pm : link
Potentially a huge call there.
Where's Don Denkinger  
bceagle05 : 9/30/2014 11:02 pm : link
when you need him?
Now it's interesting again  
dpinzow : 9/30/2014 11:08 pm : link
KC got Lester out of there and they're mounting a late rally

7-5 OAK but the tying runs are on base for the Royals

Well played. Marty still sucks... but well played.

the Royals aren't going down without a fight  
WeatherMan : 9/30/2014 11:09 pm : link
runners on the corners, only 1 out with the tying run at 1st.
Hell of a game going on

wow.  
WeatherMan : 9/30/2014 11:11 pm : link
wild pitch, 1 run game, tying run at 3rd. Holy shit.
SB to make it 2nd and 3rd  
dpinzow : 9/30/2014 11:11 pm : link
then a wild pitch and it's 7-6! Tying run is 90 feet away and it's impossible to hear on that field
Same old shit  
MookGiants : 9/30/2014 11:11 pm : link
with bullpens blowing leads in postseason routinely. Makes you appreciate what Mariano did even more
this crowd is awesome

So true. He was one of a kind.
Wow

Atrocious at-bat by Perez
Atrocious swing.

Soriano-type shit.
Big K by Gregerson and Perez was chasing at an awful one

OAK one out away from surviving with a lead
terrible swing

One game playoffs are awesome
Gregerson with 2 huge Ks  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 9/30/2014 11:19 pm : link
To hold the lead. KCs bullpen has to hold this to a one run game.
Wow balls of steel from Gregerson.

Tough to stop that avalanche on the road.
i still hope the Royals win
