ALCS Game 4: Orioles @ Royals

[Squirrel]

Anyone here watching? Exciting from the start.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I'm watching. 

 

Debatable as to whether i'm all here or not...

[Squirrel]

Well, if we want to get philosophical, who really is all here?

 

But as for the game, just hoping to see some joy at the end of it!

[ashbury]

I'm here, but not all there.  Which may be neither here nor there, anywhere.

 

Tuned in too late and missed the excitement in the bottom of the first, though.

[ashbury]

Ryan disproves the old adage that Flaherty will get you nowhere.  Now 2-1 Royals.

[Squirrel]

I wish I had really looked ahead at my schedule and done some planning and tried to get tickets to these games in KC. Could've gotten in a game or two before leaving on tour with the orchestra. Although, that might've made me nuts considering how I get for any travel let alone a 2 1/2 week tour.

[Squirrel]

Okay, I liked that car commercial. It made me want to give it a test drive, anyway.

[JB_Iowa]

Can't believe its only the bottom of the 3rd,

[James]

I'm now listening.  I forgot it was an early game today.  Glad to see the Royals taking the lead at this point.  And that Delmon Young just hit into his second double play today.

Good Viagra ad just now.  I just wish she was selling Carl's Jr burgers instead.

[Squirrel]

Geez, did they have a microphone in that fence? Ka-THUNK.

This postseason.... so many Viagra commercials.  So, so many.

[James]

I'm listening to to the Royals broadcast on MLB radio.  Apparently, Bill Curtis of MPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me." and crappy cable TV's "Forensic Files" does commercials for Boulevard Brewing Company.  I think that's neat.

[ashbury]

Geez, did they have a microphone in that fence? Ka-THUNK.

That was a catch, all right.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

KC leads game 4 by score of 2-1 after 8.

 

Show time.

[Squirrel]

Nerve-racking

[Squirrel]

One to go ....

[Squirrel]

THE ROYALS WIN!!! THE ROYALS WIN!!!

[Squirrel]

This has been some great baseball!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Wake up, ChiTown. You are dreaming. None of this really happened.

[Craig Arko]

Good for the Royals. A long time coming.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wake up, ChiTown. You are dreaming. None of this really happened.

I think this applies to me as well...  I was perhaps awake for half the game, on and off.  But i think i caught the meaningful parts.  l certainly caught the catch, and every run what scored, and the end.  Though maybe they just replay those parts so much it didn't matter...

 

Congrats for the Royals!  Thus far, i think my favorite ex-twin moment was Willingham's pinch hit against the A's.  Though i do like seeing Neshek work.

[USAFChief]

Congrats to the Royals, and especially their fans.

 

I want that feeling again.

When was the last time Delmon missed the playoffs?

 

EDIT: I looked it up - he's been on a playoff team every year since 2009. His first year with MN was the last time Delmon Young did not appear in the playoffs! Crazy. He's a lucky dude.

[Mike Sixel]

Delmon Young, proven winner. 

[Craig Arko]

With the Royals and Giants in, it looks like the wild card isn't such a bad place to finish.
