  Yep, who had these two teams playing for the ALCS?

  Damn Bumgarner.....dumb play. Greedy

  Matt Carpenter's plate approach is pristine.

  Yasiel Puigs is not, at the moment.

  He's lost up there....he's guessing and guessing wrong. Looks like a righty Jay Bruce.
  
  Still need to be careful with him.

  Dale Scott has not done a good job behind the plate. He's been tight both ways but has given Cards about 7-8 calls off the plate and only 2-3 for Dodgers plus the no call on Holliday SMH

  Nice call, but I really meant picking these two teams from the beginning of the season.

  Someone from ESPN or somewhere had the Royals in the ALCS...I remember talking about it with like_that on a preseason thread or something

  Uribe will be wailing at the first pitch after this short delay to fix mound

  A lot of people had the Royals as a wild card, but not in the ALCS....but Baltimore too? That's a quinella that would have had to pay off BIG.

  I know a LOT of people who had Baltimore winning the division. I also know a lot who had KC as a WC. But, as you said, usually those people were not one in the same.
  
  Hell, I think I had:
  
  Baltimore
  Detroit
  LAA
  KC - WC
  Tampa - WC
  
  But, I could very easily have had Tampa as the East winner and Tampa or Oakland as WC teams. I do not remember.

  Not sure if I had them in the ALCS, but I definitely thought they could be a wildcard or division champs. The baseball playoffs are a crap shoot though, so I am not surprised they are in the ALCS.

  I fucking hate the Cardinals. Same bullshit every year with garbage players coming up clutch.
• Ironman92

  

  Adams is just not garbage.
  
  No one left in the playoffs is in the top 6 of highest payroll (Giants 7th)....11 of top 13 are done.

  Great stuff!

  It's really hard to believe Bryce Harper is just 21.
• wghfan

  Way to go Harper! Cmon Nats, need the Giants the hell out of here

  Everyone here in LA is basically crying after the Angels and Dodgers went down. I remind them they now have a little taste of what its like to be a Cleveland fan.

  The crying is good for 'em!

  My Orioles/Nats hopeful World Series matchup is done
• Ironman92

  

  The home plate ump should be fired on spot for that call, without checking in an elimination game of the playoffs.
