Not going into any analysis on this one. It's our ace, Ventura, against their ace, Price. And it'll depend on who brought their bats to the ballpark. ROCK CHALK ROYALS!

@brooksmd We need all hands on deck to close this out tonight boss. If it does go to a game 7, the Jays will have all the momentum...JMO

@globaljaybird And we'll have Cueto.

@brooksmd and which Cueto will show up?

@Crimsonorblue22 My preference would be not to find out.

@brooksmd I'd rather it be Chris Young if necessary.

@brooksmd Cueto acts too big for his britches ...

@brooksmd Ned also has to have a really short leash on all of his pitchers to try to win this series - period.

The talking heads picked the Royals.

There's talk of showers during the game. Any rain delay might limit Price's innings.

@globaljaybird Except for one game he hasn't done much to increase his off season value.

@brooksmd I for one don't want him in KC

@nwhawkfan last time hurt ace!

@brooksmd don't like Pete rose!

Royals haveout homered the Jays 5-4 so far...& outscored them 34-23...

💩

Dang salvy!💨⚾️

Whew...

Good job ace!💪💨⚾️👏👏👏👏👏

Let's go hottest man!🔥🔥🔥🔥💪⚾️💨

👃 gordo took one in the nose?

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Yaaaaa hoooo!💪⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️💨💨💨💨

Yeaaaah!!!

ZO! ZO! WATCH IT GO!!!

Let's keep zobrist!

He's a smart player.👀

A lil different start than last time w/price. Need Cain to wait!

After game 2 the boys know that Price is no super pitcher and is hit-able. Except for Cain, everybody got good wood on him.

Let's go Ace.

23 more outs?😳

Turdo💩

Moooose!

ACE!!!

Four more ..... hell with it. SEVEN more innings like that and it's over.

Rios?

Morales would've had a hr in that mini ballpark in Toronto.

@brooksmd u hear him say rios?

MOOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Moooooooose💪⚾️💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

Slump is over!💃💃💃💃💃

ANTLERS UP !!!

Damn good catch !

@Crimsonorblue22 Yur Moose better than mine. I got excited.

Maybe a 2 bagger

Oops?

@brooksmd looks good to me

As Harry used to say, that one got out in a hurry!

YEAH!! Won the review.

Awesome call!!

Your turn salvy!

Nice to get a close call our way for a change.

@Crimsonorblue22 Marlins guy in da house.

@nwhawkfan for sure😱

I'm sure we've gotten a few reviews our way, but I only remember the ones that didn't.

@brooksmd brings us luck. He's quit the guy! Does a lot for other people!

@DanR finally!!

I wish I was Marlin's Man.

@DanR I would be a marlins woman💃💃💃

Gordos been struggling! Bad swing👀⚾️

Some weasel trying to buy Moose's home run ball?

Whew close

Big stick!!😉

Kinda a squirrelly jump

@DanR He donated $10000 to the families of 2 firemen killed in the line of duty last week. Also visited several pet shelters/adoption facilities - quite a philanthropist

@globaljaybird think he was at some schools today

@globaljaybird read about that. Seems like a decent guy. He's been wearing the KCFD cap now and then.

Ace🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😱😱😱😱

Likin' it.

@globaljaybird @brooksmd looks like u 2 in the blue hair? Huh?

I hope our boy continue to score runs with a sense of urgency and not rest on this lead...

Amazing Ventura can throw that hard. Not a big guy. Fingers crossed he can keep this up.

@Crimsonorblue22 Missed it. Was at the concession stand. No dogs tonite. Red beans and rice plus some gumbo. And of course a good dose of hot sauce.

@brooksmd I really need to go vist u guys!

Go loooo Cain!👀

Good thing it was looooooooow

Big stick! Do it

18 more

Big inning coming up for Ace. Needs to be on his pitch and keep it down.

Did she say "Blue Springs, Kansas?"

Uggggg💩

DOUBLE KRAP !!!

aargh...

:poop: Ace.

The ball was over and the glove carried it forward

Dang Ace you can't put it in their wheelhouse.

Get turdo out!

Turdinski ... Very appropriate...

Throw him out again

Perfect!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Whiff!

Froze 'im.

YES! Strike 3 Turdo.

@brooksmd he's such a big baby whiner!😤

Lets💨💨💨💨 the ⚾️ now!

Ok guys, get Ace some breathing room.

The overhead shot of Moose's hr clearly showed where the ball landed. Get over it.

Cool wiggins block

Come on ace! Guess he stared down turdo after the strike out!

Walking lead-off hitter is never good. Ned you better get somebody up.

Ace acting like a head case won't help him with the umps.

Action in da pen...

Need to stall for time...

Hoch give us 2?

Take your time Dave. Slow baby steps to give Hoc some time.

@Crimsonorblue22 hope so

Oh man!

Martin not fast just halfassed at 2nd base

No advance... Salvy stalling

Cmon Ace. DP ball now.

MOOSE !

@globaljaybird holy cow!!!

Whew! Breathing again. Ace you owe Moose dinner.

Ace's chip just a little too big... Acting badass showing up opponents just pisses em off & gives more fuel for the fire JMO

@globaljaybird not to bad to be a lil cocky

Gordo just not getting it done.

Shoot!

Rios good patience!

How can they review that?

How many reviews they get?

You kidding me? Why is Ace still out there?

@brooksmd Playing with fire there...

Lucky Tista didn't park that one too.

You're a hitter late Ned.

That's OK. He's leaving with the lead.

Sauce going to go 2 or Davis 2?

Coach pretty mature!

@Crimsonorblue22 maybe one each, Madsen, Duffy, Medlin, Hoch all available. 3 days off if they win tonight...

@Crimsonorblue22 Guess it depends on Tabasco. In the past if he threw 2/3's an inning he didn't come back out.

100 K !

Put some habanero on that one.

@brooksmd This turd again?

Thank you Herrera!

@globaljaybird Yessir.

@brooksmd I read somewhere if needed Davis could go 2.

@Crimsonorblue22 Sure he could he's been a starter most time in da bigs...

@globaljaybird Medlen as well.

U should have seen an instant replay of me diving off recliner trying to get a grape out of rios mouth. Landed on the feet part and then on my wrist, but I got it out. I heard they were bad for dogs!

@Crimsonorblue22 YES

Love seeing Tulo fail!

@VailHawk turdo here!

@brooksmd I don't want medlan

@globaljaybird You know if I'm batting left against Price I'm crowding the plate for that outside curve. If I get hit it's one for the team.

Sick of hearing that!

Hoz you are sooooo due, help us out!

These guys are swingin outta their cleats-what happened to keep the line moving

Only 86 pitches for Price. They may leave him out there thru the 8th at least.

@globaljaybird Good question.

@nwhawkfan I'll take a 2-1 win, but I rather it bigger.

GREAT. STUFF .

Great work Tabasco. Thanks.

Dang 💙

😢

@Crimsonorblue22 6 to go.

Time to hit the darn ball!

@brooksmd 😬🙏

Moose and gordo help us

@globaljaybird You need to educate @crimsonorblue22 about the value of Medlen.

Moooooose go run fast now!!!

NO DP Salvy-Keep it moving...

DAMN!

Holy Crap What A Catch

Shoot! First check your glove

Duh

Go gordo!💪⚾️

2 outs and RISP. Nobody does it better.

Rios up? He's done better than most lately!

How's the pitcher coming up?

Yes!! Moose was burning the bases!💨💨💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

RIOOOOOOOOOS!!!

High 5's around!👋 hugs too

ZO, remember the first at bat?

@brooksmd shoot!

Needed that run. We got meat coming up, they haven't done much for us. Who they got?

@globaljaybird you have the big one?💙

Let's hope the rain is champagne in the dugout!🏆😉

Standing for the rest if this

@DanR me too! Already fell out of the chair!

WHIFF !!

Yes madson!!

Donaldson looking. BIG especially since he was 0-3.

Shit

@Crimsonorblue22 Twice none the less...

Hit him in the leg next time instead of his bat

Haven't seen Salvy yet give anybody a belt high middle of the plate target. Keep the frickin ball down.

If ya throw chest high to these guys ya better hit em in the chest or they make you PAY...

Davis should have gone 2

@DanR Bet it got quiet after that dinger...

Ned always planning for the worst and gets it

Get turdo out

Not good at all. Davis entering the game without a lead...if this goes extra innings oh shit

Salvy forget there was a runner?

OKAY...RUNS GUYS !

Rain was piddly in larryville. Let's win this.

Let's hope our big sticks can hit this pitcher!

Wife and dog have left the room. My standing was freaking them out I guess.

Oh great...

Has hoch pitched?

@Crimsonorblue22 Not yet

Rain will be done in 5 minutes

maybe 10 minutes

My son just texted Davis should stay warm by throwing rocks at madson.

Pete rose👎

20 minutes tops on the rain delay. Man, I wish we got that much 35 miles to the west.

@DanR you farm?

I hate these announcers!

Good grief. Judging by the replays during the rain delay, Bautista hit 1000 home runs in this game, yet no replay of his routine pop fly that he stood and watched like an ass.

U guys speechless?

@DanR !image.jpg ↗

@Crimsonorblue22 LOL, thanks!

@Crimsonorblue22 Took a nap.

@brooksmd time for some men to step up!

45 minute delay. Just enough to sneak in a late dinner.

Winning run on!!

Damn it hoz make him pitch

HOZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL !!!

HOT DANG!!! HOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

DIG IT-NO OUTS either !!!

😍

@Crimsonorblue22 He's the one...

My favorite runner!💨💨💨💨💨

YES YES YES GO ROYALS!!!

now lets see Gore...

Who's throwing for us next?

@Crimsonorblue22 Id bring back Davis. Hard tellin about Ned.

Chance for Moose to break this sucker wide open !

The pressure getting to the 20 yr old.

I think Moose is breakin the slump at a great time. Damn swingin 3-0

Salvy chased 3 balls.

@brooksmd he's the worst👀⚾️

Well one run will have to do...here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, time to check your blood pressure meds...

3 flipping outs away! Turdo up?

Me thinks these guys making too big a deal about the delay and Davis. He's smart enough to stay warm and it's not like he's facing the meat of their order.

Still have hoch.

donkey shit...

looked good to me

Intentional walk here?

entertaining game

@nwhawkfan Walk Revere and you face Donaldson with bases loaded.

@brooksmd Moot point now.

@nwhawkfan time for da whiff!

One out away...

Royals are gonna kill the Mets.

Wow he missed his pitch...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!

YES!

WHEW!!! ROCK CHALK ROYALS!!! 2015 ALCS Champions

And Joey Bats is left on deck. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy !

George checkin the pacemaker...

World Series baby!!!

@nwhawkfan Bu-Bye-Tista

Damn announcers still trying to praise jays!

@brooksmd beak 'em royals and wave the dang wheat!!

And Toronto fans are left to cheer for their crappy Maple Leafs.

Ned has some ups!

George actually CAN smile !

@DanR u here? Alive?

How did we get out of that?

@Crimsonorblue22 Game of inches...

Do we have these clowns for the WS?

OK, switching over to ESPN now...can't stand Fox.s clown act.

@Crimsonorblue22 fraid so...

@nwhawkfan amlodipine-25 mg...

@globaljaybird ?

Fox sports kc coming up! Can't wait to hear HUD. Probably had to change his drawers!💙⚾️

@globaljaybird Already on lisinopril...

@Crimsonorblue22 BP med dang it...he told us to check...

@globaljaybird oh! When we play next?

@Crimsonorblue22 tuesday

Wow I'm so happy, wade Davis amazing!!

@Crimsonorblue22 Tues-take a few days off & relax...

@brooksmd wish we could all watch together! Brooks u would cook and do dishes! Global could plow up your yard. I'd ride your fancy lawn mower

Goin back to series...again...no big deal...

By the way guys, when you get a chance check out the Bill James essay, "A History Of Being A Kansas City Baseball Fan." Great summation of the 1985 ALCS and WS. It was originally in his 1986 Baseball Abstract. It's since been reprinted in a collection called "This Time Let's Not Eat The Bones." Great stuff.

@nwhawkfan where?

Cains baby grew up, remember him and holland had babies during the WS

@Crimsonorblue22 Try Amazon.

I called it, ESKY MVP!!!

@brooksmd There's your E-surance !

Damn did anyone else see Paulo's squeeze...I may be old but I damn sure ain't blind !!! WOW!!!Geeze Louise - Whole lotta peperoni in that little pizza...

@globaljaybird Yeah, reversed it and paused. WOW!!!

Go Royals!

@brooksmd you guys didn't even see her face!!😳I'm looking at the babies and you 2👀👀👀💃

On the phone now with my brother celebrating in STL ! Bye for now...see ya Tuesday!
ROCK CHALK ROYALS !!!

@Crimsonorblue22 Not our fault the camera was too far away.

Announcers still talking smack, say we r hardly celebrating!

@brooksmd u r funny!!

@Crimsonorblue22 Didn't need to...it works for me-country boys are backerds anyway...

@globaljaybird I know!!

@Crimsonorblue22 maybe they've learned how bad hangovers can hurt?

TAKE OFF THE GOGGLES.

bunch of woosies.

@brooksmd contacts! Really hurts! Plus they've done it a few times! Did u notice they put up royals and mets in the WS in the 6th inning?

GN ya'all. This old geezer needs some R & R. Catch ya on the rebound if I don't get dunked. ROCK CHALK ROYALS WORLD SERIES BOUND AGAIN!!!

As you all know, I am not a big baseball fan but you gotta love the Royals. What a bunch of high character players that don't know the meaning of the word quit and thus you CAN NEVER count them out. I am actually looking forward to the World Series...who knew...

So can we say that a good pitching team trumps a home run hitting team considering the Jays hit almost twice as many hr's during regular season than the Royals? And the Royals hit more in this series than the Jays.

@Sviat_10: Yeeeaaaaaa. Lesssss gooooooo yaaaaaallllssss. World Series!!!!

@globaljaybird this time we're winning it! No dreaming of Paulo's wife!!

@McCulloughStar: Wade Davis is guzzling water. He woke up sick this morning, dizzy when he got out of bed. "Dude's a savage," Danny Duffy said.

https://t.co/AgxKB1kt5g ↗

@rustindodd: George Brett on final moments: "I’m sitting there with John Wathan, and I’m going: God, if I was playing third, please don’t hit it to me."

@McCulloughStar: David Glass to Wade Davis: "I was nervous. Until I figured out you weren't."

@Crimsonorblue22

Gerome Brett was checking his heart rate and pulse at the end of the game...:)

Correction.. Gerome?.It should be George not Gerome...dang auto check. :D

@globaljaybird it's so cool to see Svi all excited about the royals!

@brooksmd Way to go Royals. #backtoback! I bet KC is going absolutely bonkers right now. Im glad they won it at home instead of in Toronto.

@Lulufulu

KC was crazy last night. My daughter was at Johnny's and she said they doused everybody with champagne and then they had free champagne for everybody. People were there at 3:00 PM to get tables...

@JayHawkFanToo that would be fun! My son was at a KU/royals-they must go together-bar in Chicago. They had a lot of fun too!!

@globaljaybird did you read the articles in the star? Really good!

@Crimsonorblue22 @globaljaybird Here's a replay and the metrics of Cain going from 1st to home on hit by Hos. Notice his fastest section was 3rd to the plate:

http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/135309324/v525692683 ↗

@brooksmd awesome!

@Crimsonorblue22 Metrics say 83% of the time we don't...

@globaljaybird that's why I don't like stats, can't measure heart!💙

@Crimsonorblue22 !royals.jpg ↗

@RockChalkinTexas I love it and agree!
