Royals and Jays already underway, the pale, late afternoon October light setting the tempo and nature of the game.

Mets, Cubs tonight. Should be good.

Let’s Go Base-ball!

Let's go KC!

2 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2015 4:12 pm

Looks like Price is on his game.

3 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2015 4:29 pm

Only 52 pitches for Price through 5.

Big bats coming up for blow jays. Keep it up, Ace Ventura!

4 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2015 4:50 pm

Third time through this lineup is a bear. : /

5 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2015 5:05 pm

Well, the long layover didn't ill-affect Price. Struck out the side in order. Averaging fewer than 10 pitches per frame, through 6. Damn.

6 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2015 5:13 pm

Suck it, Joey Brats!

7 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2015 5:15 pm

Siddown, Joey Joe Joe!

I can't believe MLB is allowing Laz Diaz to be a home plate umpire during true playoffs...

8 rbj   ~  Oct 17, 2015 5:18 pm

Ha!

9 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2015 5:18 pm

18 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2015 5:29 pm

19 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2015 5:29 pm

20 thelarmis   ~  Oct 17, 2015 5:30 pm
