2015 ALDS: Astros vs. Royals

[weams]

Royals look like a one dimensional team.

noun: Schadenfreude; noun: schadenfreude

pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

Some choice posts on a KC live blog regarding today's game. Yeah, they're complaining about bloops and broken bat singles. :

How come it feels like

every time there's a broken bat, it goes for an Astro hit? I swear, next year whenever there's a broken bat, I'm going to believe that the Astros are scoring more runs.

Sounds like the game's being played in a morgue right now

Of course didn't you know our postseason hopes just died?

It's amazing how much this is looking like last year's postseason

Except we're playing the role of the Angels or O's. So that sucks.

And Rasmus has a homer and a double in this one. Guy is unconscious, as they used to say, thus far in postseason.

Yost has Gordon hitting 8th and Escobar 1st. Announcers are actually praising him because "they win."

Who's dumber, Yost or the announcers?

[NashLumber]

Zobrist seems very clutch to me. Just an anecdotal comment on my part, but I always feared him doing something damaging when he was with TB. Nice opposite field RBI single. Made it look easy.

Exciting games today.

I think that this game is going into extra innings. It has the feel of one of those epic 13 inning or so post season games that crushes the spirit of one of the teams.

[Chavez Ravine]

Correa executes the small ball.

[Chavez Ravine]

Cain might have tweaked his hammy.

[Chavez Ravine]

I don't think Keuchel threw a strike to Escobar and still got him out after a protracted at bat.

[Chavez Ravine]

Lol. Zobrist tried to act a bit too much like a Royal. He thought bunting for a hit was his best option there?

[Chavez Ravine]

Maybe this won't go to extras. KC mojo might be so last year.

[Chavez Ravine]

Any interest in Tony Sipp for the O's next year? He is signed for one year 2.4 mil by the Astros. I assume the more success he has in the playoffs the higher the price will be.

It hit the roof! Baseball purists across the land felt a cold chill.
