The Jay's are a great team! They were the team I was most concerned about it the post season. I saw how dangerous they are when they came back against The Rangers. I had a few choice words for Bautista during this series, especially when he tied it up last night!
Still can't believe Cain scored from first to put the Royals on top! I'm also a bit surprised how good Davis was after the rain delay. He is amazing!

Toronto media has been dissecting the Bautista throw since it happened. He did the right thing. Couldn't give up 2nd bass. If they didn't go to Tulo, it would have been 2nd/3rd with one out and that double play wouldn't have happened and the run scores anyways. And likely more.

Toronto lost because we couldn't convert in the 9th with nobody out, pure and simple. That should have been 1-2 runs with the top of that lineup. That KC home run was a home run, the umps has a moving strike zone for both teams, etc.

I love bandwagon jumper fans in Toronto that suddenly know more than the players and manager. The most popular I have heard over and over was that Goins should have bunted to score Pompey from 3rd. He hasn't had a sac bunt in 3 years... and a good bunt with the infield right in is nearly impossible.

Good series and KC deserved to win. Doesn't mean that I can't hate the miserable @&$#%&!!!! :D

Can't wait for Tuesday! Harvey always makes me nervous, even when he has his sauce cooking. Of course I'm a Mets fan, but I really enjoyed all the play-off games this year. A bunch of teams looking like they were having fun on the field. Well, at least until the Mets got to Chicago. ;) Here's to 7 more games of fun, Let's Go Mets!

Well I am a happy (and tired) Royals fan! What a game! First inside the park home run in a WS game since 1929! Longest first game of the Series ever! I hope they are all this exciting and fun to watch.
You should still be proud of the Mets. They are also a great team! I'm a bit nervous about the pitching match up for tonight. Hopefully good Cueto will show up instead of bad Cueto!
I think Bartolo Colon is my new favorite non-Royals player! He gives me hope that over weight, middle aged guys can still play pro sports (other than golf)! :D

I imagine that the Royals' hitting coach (Keep The Line Moving) is going to end up with a nice raise, win or lose the World Series! Lord! These guys just don't strike out! As a Baseball Fan, it's a joy to watch! They're insatiable...

I don't understand how a pitch can be so hot or cold but man was he on tonight! You know he is doing great when they don't even put Davis in to close it!

I just love that line... "Keep The Line Moving"! It's just such a great 'small ball' attitude...and it's SO applicable to so many situations...so many walks of life! and, By Gawd, the KC Royals can make that happen every night. They are a great team to watch. This ain't nearly over...I've watched the Mets all year. I'm a Braves fan who has spent the last 6 months immersed in the NL East. I love their young pitching, and their bench. I expect the Series to go to 6 or 7 games, and I plan to watch Every pitch...and then go deep into mourning as the dark days descend upon us.

Sigh...I waited 15 years for this! Congrats to KC, they are beating our pants off...As I posted previously - What a good team!

On a side note as a Mets fan, the last person I want to hear from during a game is a member of the "Y" team (I know you can't use bad words on the forum) and the very last person I want to hear from on that team is a lying cheating piece of poop like A-Roid! Why are they going out of their way to legitimize this guy? Out of the thousands of current and ex-players, this is the best they can do? Rant over.

Okay, KC, you are on notice! We'll see you again in 15 years! (Well, I won't be here but someone...awww...forget it.)

I would rather listen to A-Rod than Joe Buck! He is so obviously biased against the Royals it's not funny! He is still talking about Madison Bumgardner!
Just go ahead and ask him out already Joe!

I don't care for Buck either although I think it's funny because I have heard a lot of Mets fans feel he is biased against us!

But the coverage is not very good. They must have showed the reply of the foot coming off the first base bag a dozen times...enough!

Anyone else not care for the box that shows the trajectory of the pitch? I just feel it is a distraction that is not adding anything to the game.

The KC area is going crazy for the Royals! Most of the large school districts have cancelled school on Tuesday so students and teachers can attend the parade and rally. They are calling it a blue snow day. Many companies, including my wife's, are letting employees off too. I'm the only one in my house that doesn't get to go. :crying:
They are estimating 200,000 people will attend.
It is really fun to see the city so excited and behind the team!

And congrats to Daniel Murphy for being selected the second Royals World Series MVP after Don Denkinger!
