Supposedly the lowest price on Stubhub is about $750.

As an O's fan I have to say I think we made KC look better than they are. Lousy play overall when it came to the little things hurt us. We just didn't look like a major league team.

Watching the SF/SL game last night really brought that to light. SF had pudgy infielders (sorry, don't follow NL baseball so don't recall the guys name) making perfect throws even when off balance while our O's struggled to get infield throws above the knees on routine plays. The fundamentals just weren't there.

KC had a great run but I think they're about to hit a wall and wake up from the fantasy.

I think this is going to be one of the best series we've seen in a long time based on the playoffs so far. I can't remember when there've been so many good close ball games that went right down to the wire.

berettafan 10-17-2014 06:38 AM

My prediction is KC is getting routed.

Gonna root for them but I think they are going to be roughed up pretty good.

I've had some very nice offers for them. I have tickets for all 4 home games. Where going to game 1 & 2 if the reach games 6 or 7 I will be selling those.

I see it the other way. I think we made you look bad. The bad throws where rushed because of our speed. And lets face it in the 2 games in Baltimore we just flat out out played you. We got the big hits and made the plays on defense when we need to and Baltimore didn't it was that simple. Playing the Giants will be a fun series they play a very similar style of baseball as Kansas City. Kansas City In 7

we looked bad because we played bad. no excuse for crappy throws like we saw. it's MLB, not rec ball where everybody makes the team.

the one skill I saw that was above average for mlb with KC was speed in the outfield. for all the talk about base running speed our 2nd string catcher busted your fastest guy and I think it just wasn't a factor.

go Giants! (I'm just sayin')

onewhippedpuppy 10-17-2014 09:31 AM

Gee, didn't take long for the excuses to start emerging.......

Win 8 straight playoff games against three different teams, obviously they all just played poorly.:rolleyes:

berettafan 10-17-2014 10:03 AM

No question O's didn't show up like KC did.

Like I said rooting for kc. Read an article about one of their players playing catch with little kids who had on O's shirts at opacy before the game...that's a class act right there.

Royals are the Pirates of the AL.
Go Royals!!!!!

As far as the "Royals" go... Think Kate is licking the silver spoon up the Princes' ass??

wdfifteen 10-19-2014 07:00 PM

Gonna be a good series. Looking forward.

vash 10-20-2014 09:12 AM

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I'm praying for a SF blow out.

My office is much more pleasant with a win.

Rot 911 10-20-2014 01:13 PM

Did I ever tell you all about the time I was called upon to help keep the Royals in Kansas City after Ewing Kauffman died? Really!

7-1. Great game. Let's go Giants

t-tom 10-21-2014 08:33 PM

Was it as bad on tv as it was in person? That might be the worst game I've been to this year. The giants played well

Ferraripete 10-21-2014 09:23 PM

royals never really showed up. bummer. that first inning was rough.

Yes. My biggest fear was that the long break would cause them to lose the amazing momentum that they built over the last few weeks. I think that fear has been realized.

Rot 911 10-22-2014 06:16 AM

I'm still rooting for them. That was only game one! Six more to go!
