Syndergaard's first pitch was a 'message':

You're right, Shaka. I don't understand baseball.

Total douche pitch... Seriously, throwing a baseball at a guy's head? Pretty fucking low. I'm all for some taunting and throwing the opposing side off kilter, but chucking a pitch at another man's head? Goes way over the line, IMO.

I know. I know. I'm going to go pull the string now...

He's on the 40 man roster, but not active. Another inactive Mormon...

Bo, you funny.

Is fellow Oregon Mormon and BYU alum Jeremy Guthrie still on the Royals? If so I'd like to see the Royals be the champs.

If the Royals can win game 3, I will feel more comfortable, but Yost has picked his starters well. Given the much acclaim the Mets have, I am relieved for the Royals to win both in KC.

I'll settle for just 1 of 3 in NY. Coming back to The K with a 3-2 lead is just fine with me.

There doesn't seem to be much interest in the WS this year on here. But if you didn't watch the game, you missed a special performance by Johnny Cueto, pitching a 2-Hitter. Against a team like this year's Mets, that's even more impressive.

The announcer had no clue what to say and stammered on air when the Fox1 feed went down. I wonder if it'll be his last WS broadcast. I thought that was the funniest part of the whole night.

Sorry, I don't get what you're trying to say.

This game had everything in it. There was an inside the park HR (because of a freak kicked ball by the outfielder); there was a rebound off of the back stop that was so quick it that disaster was averted; there was a screamer off the bat that ricocheted off third base that temporarily extended the game; and we got to see the oldest pitcher ever to lose a World Series game.

How could that be boring?

[SeattleUte]

That's most probable, but also they have the "glamorous" players. They have an excellent starting four rotation, a top notch closer and the Amazins. Glamorous. The Royals are scrappy, slap hitters, scratch and claw to win.

Television loves glamour first and foremost.

That does it. I'm for the Royals. Fuck New York; fuck "glamorous". It's disgusting to hear them yammer slavishly about the Mets. I started watching late and they got me thinking for awhile that this was game 2 and the Royals were bound to go down 0-2.

Television also loves more eyeballs, and of course its capital is New York.

In other words, the Royals are a pretty good embodiment of KC.

Kansas City raised Alec Burks so they are doing something right over there.
