I will say, I'm happy for the Royals, even though I was cheering for the O's.  I feel like the Royals are that team that if your team has to lose, you want it to be to the Royals.

Now THAT'S how you win a pennant! KC is on fire but so are the Giants. Should be interesting. I'm just glad the Cardinals are out.

It's the Royals.  How can you not cheer for them?  That'd be like cheering for Apollo instead of Rocky.  (Though the Royals probably do not want to be compared to any Rockies, be they Sylvester Stallone or 2007 variety...)

Yeah, I posted when it was 4-1. Things improved greatly. It's been an awesome series. The back and forth has been intense. I'm hoping desperately for a Bumgarner win tomorrow to go back to KC on. It's entirely possible this thing goes 7. Exciting (if terrifying)!

I took a night off work for... This?

It's going to be a LONG night if I'm starting my third beer, and we're just starting the top of the third.

Greatest comeback of all time in the making? It would be if they find a way to win this...

Oh well. Hudson tomorrow? Or Bumgarner on 2 days rest? I suppose we'll find out...

I think she was a teen titans villain. Also let's just get this out of the way now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinx_(disambiguation)

EDIT: Apparently the close parentheses doesn't automatically get included in the hyperlink.

Also, feel free to comment now. It's in the books.

Are you complaining about the spelling?  Because http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jynx matches the "y" spelling.

I was actually thinking about the G.I. Joe character, it turns out.

Nothing like a World "Series" that is now only one game long.

Lame.

Is 1 a series in math?

But it's the exact same as just having a Game 1, "rest" notwithstanding.

And any "emotion" and "excitement" from previous "games" that now don't count for anything whatsoever when it comes to winning the World "Series."

I think they should have to win by n, where n is the minimum number such that the Royals win.

Well that could potentially take a long time, they've traded games up until now. The previous game matters in the sense that the Royals get to play another game.

Not unreasonable. I'll be really sad if my Giants lose, but then, if they do, you kinda have to think they deserve it. I mean, Bumgarner alone makes this a 5 game series, where KC needs to win 4. If the Giants can't prevent going 1-4 in "the other 5 games", well... I've got to tip my cap to KC, and shake my head at my Giants.

Still, I'm not counting them out, and the series isn't over. I expect Hudson to start tomorrow, with a 1 run leash. Bumgarner will be very early out of the bullpen, if he's needed. If Hudson goes longer, Bum will be used in the 6th/7th, with Romo/Casilla I'm the 8th/9th.

Unless KC throws another shutout though, they'll have to get through Bumgarner relieving Hudson after 1 run allowed.
