If we wanted the possibility of a Battle of the Bay the Royals made sure those dreams were crushed with a stunning comeback after being down by four runs until the bottom of the eighth. They came back to 7-6 in the bottom of the eighth though left the tying run on base, they tied it up with small ball in the bottom of the ninth. Then in the twelfth the A's scored though Kansas City came back tied it up then got the walk of winning run. The Royals win this one 9-8 in a truly beautiful game of baseball, their first postseason win since 1985 when they won the World Series.
Kansas City will go on to play the Angels (the LA team I don't hate) in the ALDS, the A's go home wondering what could've been, but this is what the one game playoff wild card game is all about.
Good baseball is good baseball and this game was an instant classic, if Kansas City can get past the smoking hot Angels they will be considered a good pick for the World Series but we shall see.
There is no crying in baseball but I think Coco Crisp and the rest of this Oakland team might be drying their cheeks just a bit in the next few days.
So if it's barbeque you love then catch those tickets to the Kansas City home games in the best of 5 ALDS against LA, for this team looks strong and might be going far in October, more great games seem to be on the horizon and I can not always say that.
