Lo Cain is a hell of a drug!!!

Lorenzo Cain's incredible baserunning is a good part of the reason that there was no chance for a game 7 for the Blue Jays in the ALCS, of course there are numerous reasons why the Kansas City Royals are back to back American League Pennant winners, though this run from first to home off a single was a big part of it tonight. It also shows the determination of this team to get back to the World Series, it shows a hunger for something they feel they left on their plate last year, and it is a demonstration of what they will do to win it all and stop the drought since 1985. The fact that Davis could get out of the jam in the 9th with runners at 3rd and 1st with no outs is incredible all on it's own, though add the 45 minute rain delay and an extra 15 to 20 minutes waiting for the bottom of the 8th to finish up is jaw dropping, sure he has been a starting pitcher in the past but he is a closer these days and these things do make an arm a bit cold. To be fair the Blue Jays played a stellar series and nothing was given, though that speaks volumes to the talent and chemistry this Royal's team possesses. The Mets will be a difficult opponent, though I have every faith in the Royal's small ball approach, and their powerful bullpen, I do expect a good series, though I do have KC in 6 games as the AL team has home field advantage. This game 6 was the reason I watch baseball especially in October, and I expect some more nail biter's in the World Series, and on that note, Panda out!!!

Marty McFly can do nothing to reverse Cubs curse

Even on Back to the Future day the Cubbies had as much luck winning the Pennant as per usual, the brooms were out, and the sweeping did occur, nothing can really be said but it is a shame, well at least that this Panda's picks for the World Series have been disrupted. Though I still think the Royals will pull through and win the AL pennant, it is a shame my pick for the winner of the NL pennant got swept and in good fashion as well, the Cubs closest game was a 4-2 loss in game one of the series. We can blame pitching, the long ball, or simply the fact that the Mets played better baseball through the series, and this is why I cannot wait for the World Series to commence, though there is the slight issue of the Blue Jays, and who can be certain that they will not win the next two games, I for one think it will be too difficult for them to win two straight against a team that last year fought their way from the wild card all the way to the World Series, only to lose in 7 games to a Madbum led Giants team that has had great victories on even years. Harry Caray is probably singing take me out to the ball game from his grave wishing it was still the seventh inning stretch to give the cubbies another chance to win the pennant, but it will be for not, as no amount of DeLorean's going 88 miles per hour will change the fate of the cubbies in 2015. Congrats to the Mets for all the wasted champagne for they will lose in the next round, which is of course the World Series, and on that note Panda out!!!

Smurfs fail in first round against Mets

As an eternal Dodger hater this game 5 win by the Mets brings me nothing but joy, though in the end we must dissect the mistakes that led such a well paid team to fail at home in an all or nothing game. Sure we could blame the pitcher who allowed the runs, though this is not the true reason for the loss, in the post season your offense has to be able to score more than 2 runs, especially if you scored those 2 runs in the first inning, this team has for years paid for great hitting that is not clutch, and say this only out of respect for Magic Johnson, otherwise I would keep my mouth and pen quiet. They even brought the cheap cunt Utley out of suspension to fail as well in this all important game, though when you slide dirty they have to wait until the game is on the line to bring you in otherwise you will get hit by a pitch. We all know the team with heart won this series, the biggest mistake was of course when no one covered third and Daniel Murphy stole third after a walk, funny how a game can change so easily when you don't pay attention, but this is how the Dodgers seem to act in the postseason every year they make it. Now it is time for the champagne though not for the Smurfs, it will be a fun series to watch between the Cubbies and the Mets, though LA will have to watch it like the rest of us, except for them the beer may taste a bit bitter. This will be fun watching two matchups, both in the AL and the NL that seem to be a bit of a rarity, but this is what we love about the race for the World Series, and in the end it usually comes down to a great hit, a bad pitch, or simply a great team effort, and on that note Panda out!

Harry Caray's ghost vision rings true tonight

What do we have left when it comes to true sports hero's, not much, so my love of Harry Carray is completely normal, and no one should convince certain gravesites of anything otherwise. On a another note the Cubbies are trending, and the only reason that is great, is they are now in the NLCS, which means better champagne if they win the series, though in all seriousness, they better focus for the Smurfs or the Mets, for if they don't the Mets might win the World Series and that would be a bit discomforting for them, seeing the high prices for champagne these days. We all love a bit of jest, though predicting the world series winner is not as easy as I would like to make it look like, who cares, they say,though it is surprising how many would like the pick, it is okay I will give it to me, oh wait, I mean you. It will be, that team with the best defense, most impressive offense, and of course the great pitching we knew they had all season, oh, and the ability the manager had to switch at the perfect time, god, why didn't we know all along. Such a strong team, built from wonderful ownership, and epic managerial staff, how else could they have brought up from their minor league teams at key points. Well we all know it was the best team that must be left unspoken, and on that note Panda fucking out!!!!
