Maybe , a line from a famous manipulator of time .

Yeah , this is a great game , and will probably be a great series . How about Bartolo Colon and Chris Young ?

And Volquez didn't know his father died before the game. Great game from the stories, one of the few times I wish I had a tv. Go Yankees! Uh, in 2016.

I live in a mixed household, that is, I root for the Yankees, she roots for the Mets, so I'm half-heartedly hoping the Mets win this one. What a game though! Great baseball played by both teams (except for the Mets' errors). Have to give it to the fans at Kauffman, they were intense. Mets really need to take at least one in K.C. tonight to still have a chance. deGrom vs. Cueto, it's going to be a good one!

Excellent in depth analysis, and don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. If you're referring to their ownership, I'd tend to agree with you, but the players themselves are a pretty likeable bunch.

Now now .

Really don't have a dog in this fight , more a fan of the game . This WS is shaping up to be the best in years , maybe the best since the 2002 contest between the Giants and Angels . Troy Glaus had an amazing series , 8 RBIs , 385 average , here's hoping for another classic . I do wish MLB would shorten the season a bit , playing into November seems to be risky weather wise , especially in the Northeast .

With 18 minutes of action packed into 2 1/2 hours I turn the TV to a baseball game when it's time for a nap.

The winning pitcher (Young) is 37 years old and loser (Colon) is 42 years old. Combined age of 77 years. May be a new "Age" record!

Thought you were describing NASCAR.

World Series? Is that on already? I'll go Mets. Don't know anything about either one but I'm partial to NY teams. Giants, Jets, Bills, Yankees, Mets, they're still in NY, right?

The first game was full of oddities , wouldn't it be a hoot if Chris Young ends up starting and also winning game 4 , he could be
legitimate candidate for series MVP if the Royals win . Felt some empathy with Colon , wait all of those years to make a WS , pitch really well , and get the loss .

Dusty (Baker) should not have taken Russ Ortiz out of the game at that time.

I'm a lifelong Giants fan, but, since they're not in it (next year) I'm pulling for the Royals after they got so close last year.

I'm the exact same. Grew up watching Mays and McCovey. We'll be back next year.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but what's the reasoning behind a moderator inciting "situations" (albeit motorcycle related via racing) that "almost lead to blows", and after heroic efforts so that it doesn't lead to blows, start up another thread on a totally non-motorcycle related subject about competitions that ALSO might lead to blows? Sounds a little like the fireman who sets fires so he can go run and put them out .... ?

Just sayin' .... Seems to me that once you have the mod hat on, you ease up on your own personal incitements a bit .... ?

Lannis , I didn't seek the job , and was in fact asked by Luap to take this on . He never said that I couldn't participate . If you have a problem with me , I suggest you take it up with him , fair enough ?

Well, I guess that leaves it absolutely wide open then; it makes a real difference if you were "asked" to take it on rather than applying for the job.

Go for it.

Oh Oh.... Two and O..... Let's go Royals!

BTW... I haven't watched the Mets this year but they look like a quality club, unlike Toronto.
