Madison Bumgarner is the Giants’ latest–and greatest–Whirled Serious pitching hero and the Giants are the champs again.
The Royals hung in there but had no answer for Bummie G.

Game 7 of the Whirled Serious.
This is it, guys.
Never mind the long winter ahead:

Wow, the Royals put a thumpin’ on the Giants last night.
And so tonight, the 2014 baseball season concludes.
We’ll be watching…
The Giants are one win away from their third championship in five years.
They won again behind their ace on an otherwise somber night in baseball.

The Giants thumped the Royals but good last night and now the Whirled Serious is tied, 2-2.
The Game 1 starters return for a critical Game 5, the final game by the Bay. Be interesting to see if James Shields can finally deliver the kind of start we’ve seen from him for years in the AL.
Root-root-rootin’ for the Royals.

Pulling for the Royals though I think the Giants will win it all.
Hope I’m wrong. And hope it goes 7.

Giants look to close out the Cards and head to the Whirled Serious.
But maybe the Cards’ll prove to be a tough out and take this series back to St. Louis.
Either way, we’ll be watching.

Go figure, right?
My sense is that the Royals will cool down with the week off before the Whirled Serious and lose to either the Giants or the Cardinals. I hope I’m wrong. It’d be fun to see the Royals win it all. I don’t think it’ll happen though.

Can the Royals winning streak continue? Will the Cards tie up the NLCS?
Which one of these?

Two games today. First, the AL, and tonight, Game 1 of the NLCS.

Don’t like either team in the NLCS. Really like both teams in the ALCS. Rooting in the Serious this year will be easy.
But who to root for? The Cards or the Giants? That’s a tough one.
Dodgers up against it in St. Louis today. L.A. is going with their ace on 3 days rest. What cherce do they have?
Later, the Nats look to force a Game 5 themselves as they send Gio Gonzalez to the hill.
We’ll be watching:

Nats need to win to stay alive; Dodgers and Cards are tied at 1.

Hey, Hey, whadda ya say? So it’s gonna be the Royals and the O’s in the ALCS: This is so cool.

Elimination games from here on out in the American League.
I’m rooting for the Orioles to win the series but today I’m pulling for David Price. Would like to see the series go five.
In that spirit I should want the Royals and Angels to go five as well but I think I’m rooting for KC to end it tonight at home.
Happy Sunday.
Let’s GO Base-Ball!

Well, that was fun.
For some of us, anyhow. Ned Yost escaped a curious pitching decision while the A’s disastrous second half ended in misery.
The rest of us we entertained.
