  • Hopefully the Giants can wrap up the series at AT & T today and set up that meeting with the evil Dodgers. super Cards

  • Agree some brilliant games in the DS's. Was really annoyed I was up watching the Dodgers Cards on Friday, fell asleep when it was 6-1 Dodgers, woke up to have found out about that epic Cards inning.
  • That innings was so bizarre! Kershaw should have been pulled way before he was though.
  • So, those pesky Giants go on again. And, those pesky Dodgers go home again.

    YES!! Go Giants!!!!!
  • So,
    Kansas City Royals v Baltimore Orioles for the ALCS and
    St Louis Cardinals v San Francisco Giants for the NLCS.

    If your team is out, where are your allegiances now?
    For me, it's been quite an interesting change to have neither the RedSox or *Whoever is playing those damned Yanks* to root for.
    I can check out all the games as a relative neutral.

    Having said that, due to the recent appearances in the World Series of both the Giants (2012) and the Cards (2013) I'm now inclined to root for whichever AL team gets through. (The Orioles' last WS appearance was in 1983 and The Royals' was in 1985).


    For now though, in the ALCS I think Baltimore for me. Possibly because of that marvellous 8th inning in the 7-6 victory over Detroit in game 2 of the ALDS. Great entertainment. Having said that, The Royals' coach is called "Rusty Kuntz" so that makes me laugh every time they play!
    I can't decide on the NLCS. Maybe the Giants. There's something about St Louis I just don't like. (Maybe because they've won more WS than the Red Sox? >:-( I don't know!)

    Anyway. What about you? Who are you now behind?
  • No one likes us, we don't care ; - )

    Go Cards, 4th straight year in the NLCS.

    We have the pitching, not sure we have the batting.

    In ALCS my AL team (Baltimore) or a Missouri local Derby v Kansas? Think the Os will do it.
  • Yep - rebuilding time for the Sox.

    But I would really enjoy a Cards v Royals WS. Be nice to see someone like the Royals or Orioles to win it all - like you say a change from the old guard.

    Bit like saying you are fed up with Man City winning the league every year really Damo... ;-)

    Except of course the squad that won in 2012 was the equivalent of West Brom winning the Premier league. :-D

    Go Giants!

    Lol. Are you saying the Cards are the MLB Spanners?
    :-)
  • Can someone explain how the Cards seem to do it every year? Even with La Russa leaving they still get in the playoffs and go far in the playoffs. Most teams seem to have peaks and troughs but they always seem to be on a peak.

  • Supposed to rain here in Baltimore on Friday, and maybe Saturday, so might not get the series started on time.

    Cubs, Brewers, Pirates, Reds. Historically it hasn't exactly been the Al East. Though that may change if the pirates and Cubs improve.

    Well after my Oakland A's completely blew it with what will go down as the worst mid season trade ever! It's hard to care. But as a Bay Area fan, I hope the Giants win

    We are just class.

    And we have the oldest and best farm system

    Plus the NL central isn't the hardest and the Cubs are and always will be rubbish.

    With the 12th largest budget the team ethos is important too
  • We'll gloss over the 90s though yeah?

    Yeah fair point about the division. What makes the farm system so good though?
  • Really enjoyed the Cards/Giants NLCS Game 2 last night, looks like this is going to be a great series. Surprised that the Royals have won the first 2 games in Baltimore but still time for the Orioles to come back
  • I'm still waiting for the Braves to come good....or even score a home run......or move to a new stadium in the middle of nowhere
  • Cards get it back to 4-4 in the 7th from 4-0 down in game 3.

    Not sure how they do it to be honest ...
  • 5-4 Giants. In the 10th. This is some series.

    Go Giants!!!!
  • Can see the NLCS going to seven

    Kansas City now 3 - 0 in the ALCS

    I-70 Series still on.

  • Aww poor Cards last night.
  • Would like to see Kansas City win it. Someone a bit different, and a World Series title heading to a real 'old school' city in middle America.

    Before the Red Sox complete their Worst to First to Worst to First sequence next year.
  • Kansas leading 2-1 going into the 8th.
  • Clean sweep

    I wanted to both like and lol this!
  • Kansas City 4 - 0 Baltimore

    San Fran 3 - 1 St Louis

    Not good. Losing Molina, Can't hold a lead but a win tomorrow and we have a chance

    One for the stattoes....

    Has anyone swept the entire post-season before?
    Obviously a long way to go for KC, but if they win the WS 4-0, will they be the first to do it?
  • It's baseball so there will be stats on everything.

    If if if the Giants fluke a totally undeserved win over the Cards it will mean two wild card teams in the WS.

    Let's hope your boys don't Randy Choke then ... :-)
  • Another great game last night between the Giants & Cards. Although it sticks in the craw a bit as a Dodgers fan I can't see the Giants blowing it from here with their best pitcher Bumgarner on the mound tonight. I don't think many would have picked a Giants/Royals WS before the play-offs began but that looks like what we have now.
