The Royals are going to the World Series and Ned Yost is 8-0 in the playoffs.

Excellent. Have a nice long rest before Game 1 of the World Series. Ask the '06 Tigers and the '07 Rockies how that worked out for them.

More recently, the 2012 Tigers. Swept the Yankees, swept by the Giants.
Also, I don't know why I'm subjecting myself to Ryan Vogelsong slowly rocking the Cardinals to sleep with his electric 88-mph fastball. This can only end with me throwing something.

Jon Jay is a god.

How great is Pierzynski?

What the fuck is the point of Wacha being on this roster? If this isn't the spot for him, what is?

Miller needs to trust his secondary pitches more.

He has nothing tonight and the bonehead in charge is treating this game like it's July.

Harold Reynolds adds nothing to this broadcast.

His curveball isn't great tonight, but it's keeping them off balance. They're sitting fastball. I think every hit he's given up has been on a fastball.

Hey Joe, Petit struck out a rookie with about 250 career at bats, a pitcher, and Matt Carpenter. Let's not make him the second coming of Carl Hubbell, okay?

You guys remember when our bullpen was lights out? I miss that.

We have 4+ innings to go in a battle of bullpens and bullpen management. This should end well.

Bad things are about to happen.

What a disaster.

Not going to be a night that Adams remembers fondly.

Reinforcing the bullpen has to move to the top of the priority list for 2015. Finding a new first baseman might need to be on there somewhere, too.

Well that was a clusterfuck.

In 1987?

No. I don't think you remember accurately. 2011, our bullpen was filthy in the playoffs.

Nice game, Machi.

That's the series difference right there. We allow a walk and a hit before getting an out. We pay the price for this.
They give it back to us with 2 outs and grooves a pitch in Adams wheelhouse which he fouls off instead of destroying. Next pitch is a groundout to end the threat with no runs scored.
Here's another wierd thing. The Cardinals haven't led a single game I don't believe when the 7th inning started in any game yet.

It ends tomorrow.

This stings. I really wanted to be proven wrong, and maybe with a healthy Waino and Molina I would've been, but the Giants are just a stupid combination of timely hitting with crap defensive gifts and stone cold luck. Fuck this upcoming World Series.

Well there's still one to play, maybe the Cardinals have a miracle in them. I seriously doubt it, but maybe.
