Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Great performance by Keuchel.  He got a little help from the ump and a LOT more from his catcher.  I hate the Royals from way back.  The Blue Jays took the division from us and the Rangers left Florida for Arizona, so, I guess that leaves

Awesome job by Arrieta!  That guy is just insane!!  Never had any reason to pull for the Cubs.  And now, with Jon Lester (and his stink of Red Sox), Theo Epstein (MORE Red Sox stink) and Joe Maddon (and HIS Tampa smell), I have even less.  But, I like the kids they have playing for them.  Plus, it's been a hundred and six years, haven't they suffered enough?

You know who is rooting for the Cubs?  Fox.  Can you imagine the ratings?

Which means they'll get KC-St Louis.

That'd be a GREAT matchup from baseball fans perspective!  Not so much from Joe Average's viewpoint.

for historical perspective, the last time the Cubs won the World Series, the Ottoman Empire was still 15 years from falling apart.

Dear Blue Jays batters,

If you could collectively stop swinging for the fences every damn time you're at bat, that'd be great.

Yeah, but they aren't swinging from their heels with every at bat. Neither were Donaldson and Bautista when they did hit their shots...they were just making good swings. Watching Russell Martin take his cuts this series is painful. Apparently he's convinced himself that he's a 60 home run a year hitter who should try to go yard every time he takes a swing. The whole bottom of the order seems convinced that they're clones of Chris Davis.

Good Lord it only took being down by 4 with 6 outs left before the season's over for the Royals bats to finally wakeup this series.

yeah, Houston blew it.  Should've been making travel plans for Dallas by now.
