[IST] ALCS: TOR v. KC

[Benjamin Grimm]

So he's no Tom Koehler, huh?

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Chris Young and Jim Beattie were the two others...

Starters only.

[dinosaur jesus]

Sandy Koufax. Or does Columbia not count?

I don't think those are the only Ivy League starters

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

I was not aware Koufax went to Columbia. Write to: joe.buck@fox.com.
Also let him know his latest hair color makes him look like a twat.

[Guest themetfairy]

I do not believe that Koufax went to Columbia.

[dinosaur jesus]

Koufax apparently took some night classes at Columbia.

There's also Andy Coakley (Penn), Bump Hadley (Brown).

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

KC bullpen looks shit hot, itbt. Another reason why i'd prefer to avoid them.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

More Royal runs charged to a former Met.

Bye bye Blue Birdies.

[Lefty Specialist]

No truth to the rumor that Daniel Murphy hit a home run in this game as well.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

This is the third reason i don't want to face KC:

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Game 5: A pitching duel -- i didn't see that coming, itbt.

1-0 TOR mid-5th.

[Frayed Knot]

Plus an AL game along swiftly. I KNOW no one saw that coming.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Volquez losing the plot -
BB, HBP, BB, BB

2-0 TOR

Edit: Yost also losing the plot at the umpire.

[Frayed Knot]

Scratch all that about the pitcher's duel ... and about the quick game as Tulowitski clears the bases.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Yeah, I wasn't gonna stake the family ranch that the pitcher's duel was going to persist.

David Price warming up with a 5-0 lead. Confirmation that Gibbons manages his pitchers with a dartboard.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Burrito and Barfs commercial on before, made me laugh.

Yeah I don't get that.
You've got a 5-0 lead in the 7th with your starter tossing a one-hitter on a decent pitch count and David Freakin' Price is warming up like a madman. What, you don't think you might need him in games 6 or 7?
I guess I just didn't realize that the Jays traded away multiple prospects at the deadline back in July to get a mop-up man.

[HahnSolo]

I am so fascinated watching Geddy Lee at these games. Not only does he keep score but he tracks every pitch. Of course he does.

Wouldn't mind if he had the opportunity to score a few Mets games next week.

[Frayed Knot]

I haven't noticed Geddy (not that I've been scanning the TV shots for him) even though I know he's there often.
Where is he, right behind the plate?

[seawolf17]

Exceptionally well done, libraries.

From the CF camera, he looked just to the left of the LH batters box. Was wearing a blue hat at the game the other day.

[Edgy MD]

The Royals have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I saw a blue jay in my backyard a few minutes ago.

It has to be some kind of an omen. I can't think of any other explanation.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I don't even think the Royals have a RLBS.

looks it up/ Oh yeah. Paul Rudd.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

Met a Royals fan here about a month ago. He was a total dickhead.

[Edgy MD]

Lorde.

[Guest Mets Willets Point]

[Benjamin Grimm]

Watching Game 6 now. Royals lead 2-1 in the middle of the 5th, but the Kansas City pitcher, Yordano Ventura, is looking pretty vulnerable. (He just pitched his way out of a jam in the top of the 5th.) He probably only goes another inning or so.

[metirish]

Yeah I certainly wouldn't be comfortable if I was a Royals fan with that rotation .......Price looking locked in right now

[soupcan]

Am I wrong in preferring the Royals over Blue Jays as an opponent? The Mets haven't played on turf all year and the Jays have played half of their games on it.

Faster game, especially for the Mets less than stellar infield defense.

No one else sees this as an issue?
