McHugh will shut them out today. 9 innings.

Gotta get to Cueto early like we did in Game 2 and let McHugh pitch with the lead. I feel like today Gattis will get the key hit to bust it open (kinda like how we ragged on Carter all season until the last week).

MaD radio had a KC beat writer on today. The feeling in KC is they're confident in the Royals but have no confidence in Cueto. They're calling for a super short leash and the bullpen the rest of the way. They could pull him after 1 inning.

And that's fine. As long as we have the lead when he's pulled.

That's key. We saw how tough Young can be in long relief then that back end BP is sick. I want no part of Wade Davis when being down.

2 seats in the nose bleeds.
Thanks clickclack!

I'd rather have Dodgers/Astros

Smitty, does the sun rise in the East or the West?

I realize this is a bit premature, but it was an interesting thought.


Has any franchise ever won both an NL pennant and an AL pennant?

I swear to God the Astros better win tonight.

You know what I mean.

Does that count? The 1890's NL Baltimore Orioles franchise ceased to exist in 1899. Even though the Baltimore Orioles came back (1901?), it was technically a different franchise....maybe I'm just splitting hairs.

The Brewers can do it, but haven't yet.

Dunno I just looked at the wiki listing of Pennant winners by league.

Different franchises.

Brewers, Browns, & Orioles (one franchise) has always been in the AL.

I actually think the TV times are already set regardless of who is in the series...those games will start around 5:30 in LA.

Feel better about these guys going into tonight since the last 3 times we've seen the organization go into a close out situation on-the-road without momentum, they've done it. Granted, that was '04/'05...but the only time they've had momentum, they flopped:

'04 NLDS -
Lost game 4 in the 9th at home to return to Atlanta - Comfortable win

'04 NLCS -
Won 3 straight to return to St. Louis up 3-2 off the Jeff Kent walk-off...Dan Miceli'd

'05 NLCS -
Pujols dick punch in game 5, back to St. Louis and a comfortable win

McHugh just needs to channel his inner Roy O and we'll be good to go

LET'S GET IT!!!!!

I think it'd be cool if they put on a watch party at MMP.

We got that big nice HD screen. They could allow free admission and sell beer and concessions.

Didn't the rockets do that this past season? I believe all our major sports teams could do this (not that the Texans are getting anywhere near the playoffs anytime soon).

There we go boys!!



I like the protection for Rasmus but Carter there at bottom isn't my favorite.

I'm scared.

What I expected. Wasn't going to change too much being Game 5.

I hope we see Fiers or maybe even Keuchel for an inning or two if McHugh needs to be pulled.

This bullpen terrifies me.
