Speed is great. One of the best things about baseball is that there are many ways to achieve success. If we win one of those 2 games some writers would be writing about the Royals running into outs. I can't be mad about us having bases loaded and not getting many runs. That's the way they have been all year, so I don't expect that to change. The defense and pitchers suddenly unable to find the strike zone bother me. Not over yet though.

Well that was awesome. Great episode. Love the addition of a stinger after the credits! I almost missed it.

I know very little about DC comics characters but I heard so many good things about "The Flash" that I watched it the other night. I thought it was good, lighter than most DC things.

You always let us know what's going to happen. Thanks.

The losses bother me but the Orioles playing their worst baseball in months is annoying.

The Royals are a real solid team and a good team but at times the Orioles didn't play well. Of course they need to win today but after watching the game last night I feel better about the Orioles chances of winning the series. It might not make sense but I do. Can't go down 0-2 though. Fantastic game BTW.

Hopefully the weather cooperates. I love the start time for a Friday night but it may be raining.

Please don't post what I know you want to about the series Cravn. I think the Orioles should win the series but KC is so hot I am not sure they will. I like our chances though. At least for this series you can't use a roster space for Chris when he cannot be used until game 5. It makes no sense, especially if they carry 11 pitchers. A wasted spot could really hurt. If they advance I am torn if they should have him on the roster.

I think so too. And I have read numerous things from fans of other teams who are upset he won't be on the market this summer. I think you want the stability of JJ between the two young infielders. I think he is better but comparable to Bordick and he was solid past 35. I also think the signing sends the right message to the players and potential players. So, in summation, even if it goes horribly wrong I think it was a good move.

Yeah, but bad backs never persist. Ever. The heal and go away. Always.

Hardy extended 3 years. Bookmark this if you want PaPa, I like the move.

Well after a couple relaxed days, it's time for me to start thinking about game 1.

Yes! Yes!

This is rough

Miller was awesome!

Yeah, same here. They are fired up and have been very impressive. I'd love the home field advantage though.

Just him trying to restart an old argument.

Rogers? Phone typing? The Tigers looked shell shocked Friday, hard to see them coming back. Don't want to give them any hope though. Hopefully if they win, which I expect kind of, its not in a dramatic fashion.

He was engaging the crowd, not the Orioles dugout. Still funny to see how it ended. He didn't look happy in between the 8th and 9th.

I'm old enough to remember the 83 World Series win and I agree with you. This was something special.

That was a special win! They dont give up!

Markakis with a two run blast! Verlander 55 pitches through 3!

Nice 8th!

If up to me going 40 miles over the speed limit gets you arrested even if sober.

In 2012 when the Orioles were in the ALDS we had all night games. One was 5. Wonder what was different that year? Two days before and no start times yet is a friggin joke. I might be able to watch a total of half of one of the first two games.
