Good ol' Wrigley Field. Not what it was when I was a kid, but I'd rather see a game there than any other place I can think of. Ivy on the outfield walls that on occasion will eat any ball that gets near it. So the R's are there for one make-up game tonite. Ace on the hill and he better be spot on cause the Cubbies have a couple of guys, Bryant and Rizzo, that make hr balls disappear into the nite. About a month ago Bryant hit one that, had the scoreboard not stopped it, the estimated air travel was 495 feet. So Ace will hopefully improve on his 12-8 record against Kyle Hendricks (7-7). About 40 minutes to game time.

And just to add a little pressure to the situation, Toronto, who the Royals are currently in a tie for home field advantage, are up 1-0 in the 2nd at Baltimore. If the season ends with them tied, Toronto gets the advantage because of 4-3 head to head record with the R's. Ned, you're still a bonehead.

Baltimore 3-1 in the 5th.

Ace you better keep that ball down. Bryant just showed you what he can do if you keep the ball in his wheel house. Fortunately Cain caught it up against the cf wall.

@brooksmd how r u, just getting home, chiefs on espn

@Crimsonorblue22 I'm good. And yourself? How's the teef?

@brooksmd they don't hurt, still coughing, not great w/8 stitches.

@Crimsonorblue22 Ace doing pretty good with only 32 pitches in 3 innings. But he has to keep the ball down.

Hey old man, how ya doing?

Still Baltimore 3-1 top of the 8th.

@brooksmd 🙏

@brooksmd, my son was wondering about the game thurs, think Yost will be playing to win?

@Crimsonorblue22 Ace 45 pitches after 4 innings and a no-no in progress. Nice series of pitches to Bryant that time.

@Crimsonorblue22 Yup. Chiefs got a problem with their D.

@brooksmd score?

@Crimsonorblue22 14-0 with 2 minutes left in 1st.

@brooksmd uggg

@brooksmd fair to partly cloudy...

@Crimsonorblue22 They can't get their O started either.

@globaljaybird Good to have you here.

@brooksmd pretty funny to watch ace bat! How can u b that bad?

@Crimsonorblue22 By never having to hit. Before tonite he only had 4 ab's. Toronto tied it up with Balt batting bottom 8th.

@brooksmd dang!

@globaljaybird Ace got his mojo working tonite. Curve ball is dyno-mite!

@brooksmd thanks...tuff trying to be normal again. Son flew back to Augusta last eve & reality is setting in for us all now. He was on the same flight with a cousin from Jacksonville to Atlanta connections-Augusta & Tallahasee.

Dare I say it? No hi....... nah, I won't ruin it.

@wissoxfan83 You did.

@brooksmd Really? I'm not watching. Sorry :(

@wissoxfan83 Yup, right after you posted it. Now he can just focus on the game.

@wissoxfan83 way to go!

@brooksmd Beat the Cubs that's all that matters for this Cub hater!

@Crimsonorblue22 14-7

I just deleted my post, maybe that will undo the damage I've done!

Toronto runners 1st and 2nd no outs top 9th.

2nd and 3rd 1 out.

Tor 4-3 and maybe 5-3 depending on appeal.

@brooksmd 💩

4-3. Watching Chiefs on tv and steaming split screen Royals and Tor.

@Crimsonorblue22 17-7

He's safe and Tor wins.

@Crimsonorblue22 Just checked and next April Houston opens at home with a 4 game series against the Royals. Hmmmmm

Need some hits guys. Let's go.

@brooksmd do it!

Did I just hear morales can play outfield?

@brooksmd darn!

@Crimsonorblue22 Yep. They considering it at NL ball parks. Better bat.

@Crimsonorblue22 24-7 at the half.

@brooksmd Only problem is all 4 games during the week. Means the kids would be inside from 5AM to 7 or 8 PM.

Let's go Tabasco.

@brooksmd how far is Houston?

@Crimsonorblue22 5-6 hrs depending on traffic going through Baton Rouge.

@brooksmd bro lives in houston

@brooksmd that's a ways!

@Crimsonorblue22 Yep, definitely not a back and forth trip for 4 games.

@Crimsonorblue22 Really? I have a friend I was stationed with in AF lives there.

@Crimsonorblue22 When AF sent me to Newfoundland for a year he took my fiance to homecoming dance since she was in the court.

@Crimsonorblue22 Lotsa Royals fans if they can drown out Cub fans.

@brooksmd brother! We've had some dumb base running mistakes lately

@brooksmd your wife now?

@Crimsonorblue22 Nope, first.

The other playoff type game tonight, StLouis and Pittsburgh is 0-0 in the 9th also. Two great games between four great teams.

@wissoxfan83

Of course, just as I typed that St. Louis scores off Pitt in the top of the 9th. I'm good at jinxing tonight!

So far your jinx here hasn't been devastating.

Extra innings at Wrigley.

@brooksmd ha ha😉

Best pitch salvys had all pm

Sexy esky time for hr!

I wish this game was on TV. ESPN is showing StL/PItt. Pitt gets a lot of air time because of their exciting team and beautiful stadium.

@Crimsonorblue22 GB just intercepted on KC 20 ran it back to 5.

@Crimsonorblue22 31 - 7

@brooksmd awful! Good pitching tonight! Need sticks!

Madson 3 SO's in the 10th. EXCELLENT!!!

KC pitching been the high point tonite. Unfortunately the hitting is lacking with 13 SO's.

@brooksmd what's going to win this? I say hr.

@Crimsonorblue22 Only question is by which side?

💩

NED YOU'RE A BONEHEAD!!!

@brooksmd why?

Almonte

@Crimsonorblue22 For intentionally losing that game last week.

@Crimsonorblue22 Just felt like really emphasizing it.

@Crimsonorblue22 Now we have to win 2 more games than Toronto and it ain't gonna happen.

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

what’s going to win this? I say hr.

You win the prophet of the day award if such a thing existed.

@wissoxfan83 how about 3-0 the next 3 games?😉

@brooksmd you quitting?😱

@Crimsonorblue22 For the nite. Gonna go drown myself in tivo.

@brooksmd me too, only good thing tonight is I killed that dang cricket in the garage!

@Crimsonorblue22

Sox own the Royals, so 2-1 Sox :)
