And a 2 run HR now for the Royals. This one might be done. Though the Os can come back if anyone can. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > I was “watching” but not watching for most of that inning. He was getting squeezed like crazy on the fourth batter. Three of those pitches were strikes! Close, but strikes. Was it like that earlier in the inning? Yeah, some were close, but when you keep pitching ball after ball, you’re probably not going to get the close ones. I thought the walks were all fair; i don’t really have a beef with the umpiring. Anyway, Royals up by three now so, barring a miracle, this game is over. ---

Well, the Orioles are making it exciting. Delmon Young came up big again. One run in, tying run on first, and the winning run coming to the plate. ---

The Royals’ postseason winning streak is now at 8. Meaningless? Absolutely. But I think this team has quite a few more wins in them yet. ---

Fuck me! A single, a double, then a shitty little broken-bat single to score two runs for the Royals in the first. ---

The first two innings today is what I’ve expected to see from the Royals. I don’t know where the hell their homers are coming from in the post-season. And I’ll tell you, they play great defense. On that just now wonderful catch from the center fielder, the right fielder was right behind him in case it got through. ---

The Orioles are doing a nice job of dealing with Dyson’s speed on base in these last couple of games. Still tied 4-4. Come on O’s! ---

So much for good defense; how does the pitcher miss the base there? ---

Well, fuck. The Royals have deserved to win these two, I only hope they collapse at home. We’ll see. ---

I said earlier in the thread that i couldn’t work out who to root for (or against) in the National League. Well, yesterday, the Cardinals [helped me make up my mind](http://m.mlb.com/news/article/98155370/cardinals-add-aj-pierzynski-flexibility-to-nlcs-bench). Go Giants. ---
