OT: What a Game!

[John 3rd]

Damned STRAIGHT on that! Just to get to the World Series, after so long, is great but I want the whole ENCHILADA!

I haven't been watching much post season because the evil empire isn't playing.



I've been rooting for the Royals since they played the Orioles and hope they win out tonight.

Best of luck Royals and their fans!!!!

I guess John isn't very happy today. Sorry to hear the Royals came up short.

It sounds like Baumgartner had the best few games of his career and they happened to line up with the World Series.

I wonder if this was the first World Series where two wild card teams faced off against one another?

What I wouldn't give to have Baumgartner on MY SIDE!! Fantastic pitcher.

Too bad for the end but what a ride it was. My boys go to be reaquainted with their Father after 31 days of playoff baseball!

The entire team should eb back for next year. There is always hope! GO ROYALS!

I think it is (edit: in regards to the two wild card teams). The name is actually and literally Bumgarner. It probably derives from Baumgartner which I think would mean forester. Anyhow, I think he should be given credit as credit is due. In the end I was rooting for KC. Do you know what "Kansas" means? It means 'people of the west wind'.

The first World Series with two wild card teams was 2002, the Angels defeated the Giants 4-3.

Congratulations are in order to the Giants, but also to the Royals, hope it won't be another 29-year wait!

I've been told that the west wind symbolizes reason. This makes "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" carry more weight.

As long as they don't beat the Cardinals because Don Denkinger's ghost was about.
