I see Cueto continues to do his level best to torpedo the title hopes of KC. Houston up 3-0 in the 2nd inning. KC can't afford to go to Houston down 2-0 in games because Keuchel goes for Houston in Game 3 and he is 15-0 at home. -- Al
Congrats to Brad and his Mets, Tom and his Bucs and Michael, Al and Louis and their Yankees as all have clinched.
I don't have a dog in this fight as both the Red Sox and Giants are out, but I'm pulling for the Cardinals (best organization in baseball), Royals (their fans deserve it, plus one of by best OTSN customers Brad and his two sons are Royals fans), Angels (for our Brad's son), Pirates as they are Fam-ily, Rangers for our friend on the other side of the pond, Dodgers (yuck), Toronto (sorry, too many band wagon yahoo fans), Cubs (sorry; Maddon and Theo...........no thanks to that), Mets (sorry Brad, 1986 is the wound that will never heal) and the Yankees (1978, Bucky Dent, 2003 Aaron Boone; need I say more) in that order.
No matter what, October baseball is awesome, so I'll be watching....................
Rangers up 5-4 on the Blue Jays; fans are rioting because it looked like the go ahead run was scored by a player who looked out on the previous play.
Rangers threatening to go up 2-zip.
Yikes.
Astros up 4-2 on the Royals with Cheese; like Al said, if they go up 2-zip, the Royals get the Astros ace in game three.
Double Yikes.
Could be an all Texas ALCS......................
If it's an all Texas series, I hope its the Astros, a NL team!
Oliver Perez is still the same loser he was with the Mets.
Who saw this coming?
Watching Ohlendorf rock back and forth is putting me to sleep. He's like a human rain delay.
How long do the Mets let deGrom go with 101 pitches through 6. Dodgers can't touch him but do the Mets save his arm and go to the bullpen? Think they'll let him go 7 and then the pen, if the count doesn't go too much higher. -- AlWhoee! Kershaw and deGrom are mowing the batters down. Kershaw has fanned 11 and deGrom has fanned 10, through 5 innings. Heck of a game to watch. -- Al
Well, the pens have it now. The duel was fun to watch. deGrom was brilliant and while Kershaw was good, his post-season troubles continue. Clip in for the 8th. Mets need 4 more outs and still lead by 2.^&grin -- AlHow long do the Mets let deGrom go with 101 pitches through 6. Dodgers can't touch him but do the Mets save his arm and go to the bullpen?
