A matchup of two teams who took off in July. Interesting how that works out.

 

[packerzrule]

He has certainly tried.

Orioles got almost all of their runs against the Tigers bullpen, right? That combined with Adam Jones being 4-37 career in the playoffs means that I think there is a decent chance that the Royals do well.

I'm guessing Royals in 6

I'm assuming you didn't watch either game 1 or game 3 of the Orioles/Tigers matchup?

Game 1: O's led 4-2 before Detroit's bullpen came in and gave up 8 runs (insurance)
Game 2: O's scored 4 runs against the Detroit bullpen.
Game 3: O's scored 2 runs off Price... all they needed.

O's in 5. G's in 6.

Nelson Cruz is one of those players I dont like betting against. He is up there with David Ortiz and Carlos Beltran. And lately, the Giants and Cardinals teams are on that list, too

Sounds like game 1 will be rained out. Rain rain, go away.

weather looks good for game time

The 19% won apparently then. Good news.

Almost game time, good luck everyone. This should be a fun series to watch, hoping that the blues go unnoticed in this series and all games are decided on the field by the players.

 

[mad4comp]

Damn... Camden Yards is rockin

 

[BUD]

This should be a good game. I'd like to see Shields win the pitching battle. But I wonder if KC has cooled off or not. We shall see.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I still think O's in 6..maybe 7. But every game should be a good one.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Can Big Game James get through the first without giving up a long ball?

Yes he can!

 

[jeffro151]

Pitching line though 1
Tillman- 1 hit, 1 K, 15 pitches, 12 strikes
Shields- 12 pitches, 7 strikes

 

[jeffro151]

Crrruuuuzzz

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Orioles putting together some good AB's this inning. Can the bottom of the order cash in?
