I'd say the Royals pretty much took the rowdy Canadian fans out of today's game. That place is loud. I hope they can put the Jays out of their misery tomorrow.
Me too (but sometimes I wonder if they stretch the number of games out to make more $$ - the conspiracy theorist in me coming out)...... |

| One of the guys I work with who is a Cubs fan said that in Back to the Future, they said the Cubs would win the series in 2015 - don't know if that's been mentioned here already but that's kind of cool. (Although being a Royals fan, I think 30 years is long enough to wait for another series win)! |

Funny you should mention that.

| I would have almost BET the Royals would have lost last night - stretching this out as long as possible - just THINK of the money made on consessions, shirts, etc.
How do they sell tickets to the post season? I mean, how would you even know how many games would be played? Do you get your money back if you bought a ticket for a game that they didn't have to play? How's this all work?  |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | The Jays screwed up when Cain scored all the way from first on a single to right by Hosmer in the bottom of the 8th. Bautista got caught sleeping and Tulo made a lame relay to the plate because he was caught off guard. Scoring from first on a single without an error is practically unheard of. Then, with one of the fastest runners in the game on 3rd and another runner on second, with one out, they couldn't manage to push even one run across.
THAT'S why the Jays lost. |

| Just got home from the game, it was one for the ages! Incredible talent on both teams. Wade Davis is the iron man of pitching. I thought the Blue Jays were going to tie it up with a man on 3rd and no outs top of the 9th but Wade Davis was the miracle man tonight.
Love the Royals...maybe I should turn BHW Royal Blue this week? Might have to think about that. :) |

Not real unheard of. If the count is full with 2 outs, the man on 1st will be running with every pitch because no matter what happens at the plate, he can do no wrong. If the batter walks, he's going that way anyway. Same thing with a hit. If the third out happens at the plate, He's lost nothing.

Last time it ever happened in the post season was over 90 years ago.
Even with 2 outs and a full count, it's rare to score from first, even if the runner is off with the pitch. In this case, he wasn't running with the pitch....PLUS he has a sore leg and hasn't been 100%.
Jays screwed up....Royally. |
