[Why Not?]

Yeah, at first I wanted a long NLCS. Now, if the Royals make it, I want nothing more than Daniel Murphy not playing baseball for 5 days

I watched that game too. Amazing.

No. It's not winter here yet. I was outside.

I just checked the NWS website has the cold front coming in too late to help on Friday night as it won't come through until after midnight. It will be wet be winds will still be out of the south. If a game 7 is played however, winds will be out of the north to knock most dingers into outfielders' gloves.

Well at the least, Friday won't be any warmer than it was for games 1 and 2. Pretty sure the Jays were homerless in those games. Also, if my memory serves, we are 4-1 at the K this year against Toronto.

You guys won a championship twice in the 90's. The Royals and Mets each haven't had one since the 80's. So, if you don't mind good sir, could you please tell your Blue Jays to lose in KC?

Thanks in advance, it is appreciated.

I've been keeping an eye on LL tickets for Friday. Stuff is super high.

Looking at the weather...everyone's talking about the chance of rain on Friday. Of bigger concern is a southeast wind in the 20's with gusts in the high 20's. That's blowing out, folks.

But then on Saturday, the wind shifts from the northwest (in) at 15 MPH.

Guess Yordano's just gonna have to strike everybody out.

With a mouse butthole-sized strike zone and guys that never swing at balls.

It's been a long time since the early 90s. I think I'd very much like to see two wins instead.

So all those who shit on me for not showing up after a loss (which I actually did when I was available to do so after game 4) are nowhere to be found. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

I'm here and painfully accept my loss. Still 2 games to go (if you're lucky).
