Dammit. KC 2 - Houton 5.....double dammit.

Technically, that's 2.5 dammits.

Well, you got lucky in game 2.

Go Astros!

Uh oh....... Astros win game three.

Our starter for game four is Lance McCullers, our #5 in the rotation. Looks to me like the strategy is they're saving McHugh, Kazmir or Fiers for a possible game 5. That's the way I'd play it. Your starter tomorrow is the guy who gave up three runs in game one AND he's only going on three days rest.

Houston was tied for first for the best home record in the AL in 2015. But wait, the team they tied with was Toronto and they can't seem to win playoff games at home so Houston's home record could be meaningless.......

Yes, the Astros would appear to be in the driver's seat at this point BUT I'm thinking there will be a game five which obviously favors the Royals since the Astros had the WORST road record in the majors (I'm pretty sure...) this year.

So keep the faith ashauler! all is not lost.

As an aside, the Rangers were poised to take their ALDS series 3-0 today but WHOOOOOOOPS, not so fast.....game four tomorrow.

I'll be happy with whatever AL team makes it to the World Series so long as it's not Toronto, LMAO! My sister-in-law lives near Dallas and is a huge Rangers fan and before I became an Astros fan in 1975, I was a Royals fan so they'll always be a sentimental favorite of mine.

2-2 in the bottom of the 5th.......c'mon Royals.
I'm not too optimistic, but hopeful.

6-6 top of the 8th......my rally cap is on!!

Bad day for the Texas teams, especially after they both won game 1 on the road and the Rangers did even one better by winning the first TWO on the road. Looking like a game five in that one too.

Hey, don't I get credit for making that call?

Bad day for the Texas teams, especially considering they both won game 1 on the road and even worse for the Rangers, they won the first TWO on the road. Their both behind the eight ball now having to play their game 5s on the road.

Chances are now not so good for a Texas team to be in the World Series.

Big win for my Jays tonight! Looking forward to game 5 wednesday.. I've got some special 10 year old cigars that I would love to threaten to smoke if they can advance
