That being said, I find it funny how quiet both sides are for this Cubs/Cards match up. But I think the world should be prepared for the Poo talking to start after the series is decided!!
But I will say, if the Cubs do decide to pull one out, I would probably have to root for them, just for the fact that they've been so terrible for so long.
***There was a Triple Crown Winner this year. Miracles do exist! LOL***
I have to agree with you Rae. Hoping it doesn't come to that though! |

Royals will have it together today...if I repeat that enough times I may actually believe it. :) Actually something has changed with the Royals in September, they just don't have the same intensity as they did earlier. Hoping that changes today.
This is a great thread. Thanks for keeping it going! |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | The Royals are in a must win situation. It will be very hard to go to Houston, down 2-0. Houston is the toughest team to beat at home in the majors. Keep in mind, though, that the Royals took both games in Camden Yard last year, as well as both games in Anaheim last year, so if anyone can do it, the Royals can.
I think Texas surprised a lot of people by defeating Toronto's ace, David Price, in Toronto. Toronto is in a similar must win situation. The Rangers are going to be without Beltre because of a back injury, and that's huge. They have to replace him with a 22 year old rookie with minimal experience and a .220 average. Maybe Josh Hamilton will pick up the slack somehow.
It would be interesting if this turns out to be an "all Texas" ALCS. Over 5 decades Texas has never produced a world champion in baseball.
I think the Cubs-Cards series should be a great matchup. The Cubs look like they are peaking, and the Cards have quite a few injury issues. Just because the Cubs were the last wild card doesn't mean they are a pushover. They won 97 regular season games, the 3rd best record in the majors, and were in the toughest division in baseball. |

I agree. I'd have to cheer for the Cubs if the Cards' founder on the NL side of things.... But Missouri still shares the Royals with Kansas so I'd be rooting for them in the WS. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Royals pulled out a nice, come from behind win today. Now it boils down to a 3 game series. Astros are a lot tougher at home. I'd hate to have to place a bet on that series.
Rangers pulled off a deflating extra inning win over those Canuks....yay. LOL
It's going to be very hard for Toronto to pull this series off, especially in Arlington. It's been done before though.
Cubbies ran into tough pitching today.
Mets/Dodgers should be a real good game tonight. |

| Wow! I can't believe the Astros are in this position.
I had to listen to yesterdays game while driving from Austin to Houston. I think most of the traffic on 290 thought I was NUTS screaming in my car!
Today's game should be interesting - starting rookie McCullers at pitcher for the Stros. He's got wicked stuff - I hope he can bring it.
I will be watching today's game on my iPad at my desk - wishing I was at Minute Maid.
Go Stros!

It's nice to know I am not the only hollering and fist pumping in my truck listening to the Astros! What a great series so far. I forgot they play so early, I will have torment my son and husband. I get off around 12 or 1 most days so I will be able to go home to watch it. |

Go Stros! I was so mad I couldn't watch the game since I don't have MLB channel. I listened to it a little.
Kinda sad they keep walking Rasmus on purpose. Wussies...
I think they can take it today!

Yep, Astros faltered and the Royals, being the great team they are, took advantage. Hats off to them for a great comeback! Tuesday should be another great game. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Texas has had 2 major league teams and over roughly 50 years has never produced a world champion. I figured with both teams in the playoffs this year, maybe they have a good chance, and it sure started out that way, but now it all boils down to one game for both.
I'm glad to see the Cubbies win. That was a real slug fest, even though Arieta had his worst outing of the season. One game to go, and they move on to the NLCS. Love to see that happen. To say the Cubs are overdue is an understatement. I love how Madden manages. |
