What the fuck, so you can push a runner off the base now? Dyson was clearly safe and the glove comes down and pushes his leg off the base, that's complete bullshit.

And then the next pitch is fucking 6 inches off the plate and gets called a 3rd strike, umps are ruining this

Fucking ump must have money on the game. Absolutely the worst inning I've seen called all season

As long as the Cardinals don't win the world series I'll be content. I would like to see the Giants or Royals take it.

Royals out homer the O's and the O's out steal the Royals. Just as the pundits predicted.

Another great game, and great defensive game for the Royals. So great to see them win again.

Royals facts:

Post-season win streak of 9 games(last 3 in 1985, 6 straight in '14) is the 3rd longest streak of all-time, only 1 behind several teams that are tied at 10 games. No franchise has longer than a 10 game streak other than the Yankees(who hit 12 in a row 3 different times in '27, '32, and 98-99)

Since the League Championship Series went to 7 games in 1985, 24 teams have started the series 2-0. 21 of those 24 went on to win the series. Of the 3 teams to ever come back from an 0-2 deficit, two of them were the 1985 Royals, and 1985 Cardinals, who both did it in their LCS to make it to the 85 World Series(in which the Royals came back from a 3-1 deficit to win)

edit - and no team has ever come back to win a series after dropping the first 2 games at home

Bumgarner totally got away with a balk there. That said, he's been pitching lights out.

the nats to shreds.

Ugh. I knew Peavy was going to hang one eventually. He has struggled with location since the start.

EDIT: Blanco finally comes up with a clutch hit!
