AIN'T THE BEER COLD

 

[Kaiten]

Clinching on Atlanta's field made this feel extra special.

Hands down my favorite moment as a sports fan. In any sport, from any team.

Nice catch to end it.

Sadly, the Nats' first no-hitter will be overshadowed by Jeter's final game.

 

[Kaiten]

Can a major league manager be fired in the 6th Inning? Just asking, no reason.

It was?

This game is insane.

Bottom of the 8th. One run game. Runners on the corner. Winning run on first. Ned Yost is the manager. DRAMA.

Tying run on 3rd, one out, two straight strike outs, swinging at balls out of the zone. Right now I feel sorry for Royals fans.

Holy fuck this is a good game.

 

[FrostyMouse]

It really is, Kaiten.

I thought that the Royals were done after the 8th, but that was a great ninth inning by the Royals.

Runner on third with two outs. Maybe KC can do it.

On we go to the 12th.

Oh, yeah, 8-7 Oakland.

8-8

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

The Royals win 9-8.

What a shitfest. That wasn't a good game, neither of those teams were seemingly trying to win it. Horrible managerial decisions, bad fielding, worse baserunning...a catcher dropping what was basically a pitchout

Kansas City won't do anything against the Angels looking like that.

CRUUUUUUUZ

What a bludgeoning. Detroit kind of sucks. They've kind of sucked since the trade deadline.

It really is, Kaiten.

I think KC's win probability going into the 8th was something like 3%. That comeback was ridiculous, especially for a small ball team. Especially with that manager.

It was a really exciting game. Both managers sucked. Everybody knows Yost is terrible. KC played like they wanted to win. It was really fun, exciting baseball, if not the best played game ever.

KC has a chance against the Angels. A small one, but still a chance. The Royals pitching is much better than the Angels. If it weren't for Yost I would consider the possibility of an upset.

Orioles knock in a few more while I was typing. Anything can happen in five games, but Baltimore is obviously the better team.

dumpster fire. WOW.

Has Coke thrown a strike yet? Feels like he hasn't.

Mercy rule?

Longest inning in the history of the wuuuuuuuurrrrrhhhllllddddd

 

[Kaiten]

If this were little league the Tigers would be crying.

 

[xi0]

Ah come on, it's fine, we'll give them a participatory trophy

 

[FrostyMouse]

KC leads 2 games to 0 over the Angels.

The difference is that I never thought that KC had a chance against the Angels, whereas I actually favored the Orioles over the Tigers.

How are the Yankees doing btw?

They went fishing last week. Truthfully, though, I haven't really cared too much about baseball for like 6-7 years, though.

Yeah, 27 titles must take a toll on someone's attention span

 

[Kaiten]

I was at work for the first 5 hours of today's game. Did I miss anything?

Is there an easier player to root against than Bryce Harper?

 

[FrostyMouse]

Congrats to the Giants. Three WS titles in five seasons. Unfortunate for the Royals.

Good, fuck KC
