Royals vs A's 7-7 extra innings, turn the game on

[Kevin Greene]

Great stuff

[Rise of The Hive]

What a comeback, I thought KC was dead.

[Kevin Greene]

Bottom of the 12th, tied up

[rmsanger]

This game was awesome! Tonight's game sucks. Bumgarner is making Pitt look silly. This one is already over.

[B.BERSIN]

[Goondal]

I really am happy to see them doing so well, those fans deserve it.

[Rise of The Hive]

This postseason has not disappointed so far.

[Coach C]

Man.... crazy game against the A's.

 

Then proceeds to sweep the Angels in the ALDS.

 

Then now are 3-0 against Baltimore, needing one more win to advance to the World Series.

[KSpan]

Sweep. First team to go 8-0 in postseason play. Boo ya.

[stirs]

pulling for KC, then SF (mainly because of Bumgarner)

 

Would be a great series

Would be a great series

SF is gonna roll KC, IMO.

KC is a great story & all but they've overachieved & have no experience in this situation. They've also gotten literally every bounce their way, luck always runs out somewhere. SF is going for their 3rd WS title in 5 years, that's a dynasty. They have the experience & will be ready to go. SF also has the best player remaining in the playoffs; Bumgarner. Dude has been very good in the regular season over his career but he's lights out in the playoffs. Combine his dominance this postseason with his World Series performances in '10 & '12, I don't see KC beating him. That means the have to win 4 of the other 5.

If KC knocks off SF it'd be like the Dbacks upsetting NYY. Underdog knocking off the dynasty & huge favorite. Could it happen, yeah. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Not to mention Yost vs Bochy. Arguably the worst manager vs the best manager in baseball.

[Falcons1stPanthers2nd]

KC deserves it. That poor town is almost as bad at sports as Atlanta.

[Kevin Greene]

Go KC, I don't care who they face.

I just hope they don't wake up and realize where they are.

I disagree. Everybody was saying the Angels was going to roll us because they were the best team in the AL. Didn't work out that way. Then it was Baltimore that was going to roll us because of their power on their line-up. No dice.

 

Anyone can use the argument that they have no experience in the situation, but really, it didn't show at all during the ALDS and the ALCS. It might had actually accelerated the Royals experience when they were playing against Oakland, and, I have no idea how to explain it, but something clicked when they went on a improbable comeback against Oakland.

 

Sight unseen (I have not looked up their team stats yet), if someone wants to tell me that the Giants have the edge in starting pitching and offense, I'd probably agree that its likely.

But, you have got to give the bullpen, speed, and the defense to the Royals before the analysis even begins. That was very much evident during the ALDS and the ALCS.

 

Not to mention, KC went 15-5 against the NL during the interleague play.

 

Either way, let the best team win.
