Yeah, 1 seeds is less boring.

Sox have a chance with that win.

First complete game I've watched since moving here.

Peecock!

I watched an hour or so of that game at BWWs in Watertown, SD

I'm kind of rooting for the White Sox.  A dramatic turnaround within 2 years, building from within, gives other small market fans hope.

However, maybe I should rethink that, since they are in the AL Central.  Already have a couple of those teams that somehow keep winning and rebuilding.

The Royals pitching staff was historically bad, mostly due to catestrophic injury, but also lot of underperforming individuals from just last year.  So, how have they addressed that so far?  Reassign the hitting coach within the organization.

Watched the first few innings of Yankees/Red Sox.  Tolle pitched in college for Wichita State, had never even seen him.  Cam Schlittler is a f'ing beast.  A starter coming out and throwing 101.  Getting more common in MLB, which is why I maintain pitching is way better than it was 20 years ago, combined with a change in philosophy to hit homers or strike out (see the White Sox player that set an MLB record for K's), and the batting averages in MLB tanking.

Sox won. 

Kubbs got smashed.

That's a good night.

More reason for hope...but they need to score A LOT of runs unless the bullpen gets fixed.

Jac Caglianone was named AL Player of the Month in August, and now Carter Jensen has been named AL Player of the Month for September. This is the second time in franchise history the Royals have had back-to-back AL Players of the Month, joining Hal McRae and George Brett in May and June of 1982.

This is the 5th year of this format.

Of the 20 WC "series", only 6 have gone to 3 games, and 3 of them were last year.  It's set up for today to be a real winner take all fun day, and while it was last year, with 3 games, the other years have provided us with 1, 0, 1, and 1 Thursday game respectively.
