Walk off home run by Belt.

[chajin]

but [what] is a penant?

An ink version of a pencilant, generally not as sharp.

[Vigilanteman]

I’m still bummed out that the Pirates cut Ishikawa to trade for a mediocre first basement who platooned and hit about .235 earlier this season.

This is the first time 2 wildcard teams have made it to the world series in the history of baseball.

STL has had an excellent history of hiring and retaining managers. Matheny does a great job, and is in the top 5 mangers in MLB (IMO & I am an Astros fan) How would you like to be a KC fan, and be out of the playoffs for almost 30 years? STL fans sometimes take their success for granted, much like ATL used to.

Your team will do just fine. You can't win it every year.

[catfish1957]

3rd World Series in 5 years. Do you realize how dumb you sound?

Comment was directed toward the leftwing cesspool of a town, not the MLB team. But since that "team" resides in that cesspool, they are part of that "suckage" by association. I have forgotten more about baseball than you will ever know sonny.

[Conservative Gato]

Go Royals!!!

[Henry Hnyellar]

Bob Costas is a hissy fit.

[catfish1957]

This is the first time 2 wildcard teams have made it to the world series in the history of baseball.

Since this is only the 3rd year of "2" wildcard slots per league, I guess the odds of it happening were greater.

[catfish1957]

Yeah I bet all the east coast so called elite sports writers are in a funk right now.

[Baynative]

You are correct.

[Nifster]

Perhaps another year of ‘sprinkles’ for Marty

[wac3rd]

Ditto. I live in the Bay Area but will be a Royals fan for a week to 10 days.

[Nifster]

amazing

[robert14]

I thought there was always one wildcard team per league until a few years ago when they selected 2 wildcards and added the extra game.

[Nifster]

Isn’t it about time that Bruce got the manager of the year vote???

[ScottinVA]

Ishikawa, not Belt.

[jjotto]

This year is the first year of the two-wildcard game.

[stillonaroll]

I hate to admit this but I NEVER root for West Coast teams.(I’m on the East Coast)

-----------------------------------------------

You have a lot of friends in the media. :)

Go Giants!

[Huskrrrr]

Bay Area resident here rooting for the Royals. I’m a transplant from Kansas City and I’ve been waiting thirty years for this! Win or lose the Royals have had an awesome season!

[REDWOOD99]

Nice backpedal! I hope your amnesia allows you the peace of forgetting the upcoming World Series, then. I will be enjoying the Giants 3rd appearance in 5 years in The Fall Classic. In case you forgot.
