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!!!
