Astros-KC Game 1

[Blarg]

Well, it got exciting there for a moment with the tying run at the plate for the Royals but it looks like that was their last real chance to close the gap. Astros going to steam roll the AL for the pennant?

[Blarg]

Interesting that after tonight the home teams may be 0-4 in these playoffs, and they all had a chance to start probably their best pitchers.  How does that happen?

 

Someone is going to find a way to blame Scioscia, I'm sure.

Yep, he didn't find a way to win enough against Houston and Texas to keep them out of the playoffs.

[tomsred]

Okay, I've seen enough.  Can we start 2016 Spring Training tomorrow?

WHY THE **** DID WE GET RID OF KENDRYS?

So let's see. We have a guy who used to play for us (Morales) blasting a home run, and earlier a guy who could have played for us if we had pursued him (Beltre) with an RBI hit, and last night a guy who used to coach for us (Maddon) leading his team to a win in the postseason.

Did I forget anyone?

Of course you did...

Napoli 0-3 2 Ks

Hamilton 0-4 2 Ks

Madson 1 IP 1 ER 1 HR

and a guy who could have played for us, Choo 0-3

Chris Young is 6'10". Jesus Christ.>>>>

Saw him pitch down at Petco, and had good seats.

The guy is huge..

Bunch of really exciting players on the Stros. I'm particularly impressed with Correa, as many are. Looks to be a superstar in the making. I fear they will have a very competitive team for years to come. >>>>>

I predicted (somewhat jokingly) the Cubs and Stros in the WS a few months back.

I'm actually starting to think that might happen.

I wonder what kind of odds you could have had on that before the season.

$2-3-400/1?

MLB playoffs are a crapshoot.

He was

 

How? By hitting .270 with 20+ HR's coming off a season where he was injured?

 

We got rid of both him and Vladimir before we should have.

I saw his post-game interview, thought the same thing too. Helluva player though.
