And...being pissed about Duffy would've been irrelevant.

So Yost lucked out with the series ending in 3 games.But he will need a 4th starter this series.

Yessir. We'll see how it goes. We've already exceeded all expectations. However it ends, I am very pleased about this season and akready very excited about next year.

Gotta give CJ Wilson some credit for the Angels losing series to KC. Wilson didn't even make it out of the 1st inning. He might be the most overrated starting pitcher, making $16 million.

I give that credit to the KC offense finally waking up, after a year of semi-silence. It's been beautiful seeing Hosmer and Moose hitting, and hitting with power.

Yeah, good to see Moose hit .273 with 2 homers in the series after hittng .212 and 15 homers in the regular season (none since Aug. 25th).

Yessir. Moose and Hos have been around so long, that people forget they're still rather young. Both are 24. The core of that offense, outside of Gordon, are all young.
As an aside, the Royals starting offense on makes $3 mil per year more than Pujols

I would imagine Hosmer, Mousakas, other big name prospects have come under fire for underperforming this season, but nice to see them come up big in October.I think they will beat the Orioles, though I still think Duffy should be starting.

And they are still paying Blanton too.I hope the Angels spend another $300 million this winter, and watch the World Series from their couch again.

Quite simply, the Orioles have been disrespected all year and I love it. Not only were they (we) picked to finish last in the A.L. East, but the general sentiments seemingly are as follows:
1.) "The only reason the Orioles are winning are because the A.L. East is down". (not because the Orioles have gotten better, and in turn, brought those other teams down a notch)
2.) "The Tigers Imploded, "The Tigers bullpen sucks" and "Brad Ausmus is an idiot." While these things maybe true, baseball is a team game and the Orioles proved to be a better team, despite the backhanded compliments.
Now I am hearing....
3.) "Kansas City is America's team" and "The whole country is rooting for Kansas City because they are small market and have sucked forever." The Royals have won a World Series more recently than Baltimore, plus Baltimore didn't have a winning season from 1998-2011 and is hardly large market.
To date, the crappy Orioles have 99 total wins this season. Showalter is an incredible manager and a master of "chip on our shoulder" motivation. Here in Maryland, we realize everyone wants Kansas City to win....and it is very, very motivating for our fanbase and players.

Showalter is a great manager and is a slam dunk to get another AL manager of the year.
