I'm a season ticket holder so I get a sweetheart deal. My tickets are under 300 per. I could sell them on StubHub for over 2k a piece but I enjoy baseball and consider this a once in a generation opportunity.

It's no Vuckovich vs Andujar, that's for sure. (Or Smoltz vs Morris, if you prefer.)I know I'm going to go through baseball withdrawls for a while after tonight's game. Not used to having two horses in the race.

I enjoy baseball a lot. I attend usually a dozen games a year (although this year we are getting close to 20) and I watch or listen to at least a few innings of the Royals almost every night they aren't on the west coast with the 9pm start times.
But having watched 14 full 9 inning (and a few 11-12 inning) games over the past month.. I'm very excited it will come to a conclusion tonight.
I'm old.. i wake up early, and I enjoy my 10pm bedtime and I've enjoyed this, but I'm tired.. i'm fatigued... and I need a 6 month break from this.
I've got one more night of yelling, screaming, hi-fiving, standing in long bathroom lines, a midnight or later bed time, and hopefully sweet sweet vindication in me... and then I'm done.. for awhile

Nothing better than Game 7.

Peavy will most likely get a decent 2-3 yr offer from an NL team and Shields will get (over)paid. With teams extending players through arbitration years, there is not enough SP to go around and there will be $ chasing SP.I wonder how muchPeavy cost himself with his two WS starts. Shields is also a free agent and hasn't done himself any favors with a (mostly) lackluster post-season.

Yeah, you're probably right. There's more money in the game than available talent.Peavy will most likely get a decent 2-3 yr offer from an NL team and Shields will get (over)paid.

"Eddie in Astoria" just called Francesa. He's adamant that Timmy should start tonight.
Edit: and he didn't mean Hudson.

Take a shot every time the camera focus' on a players wife and Joe Buck announces her first name, like they're at the community clubhouse.

You should be ashamed. This whole WS is a fraud. WC vs WC. Heck, KC wouldnt have even made the playoffs a few years ago. Whats the point of playing a 162 game season?

Ohhh, Astoria, Queens rules. It rules planet Earth. Kinda like Catalina.

KC will offer Shields $90MM over 5 years to stay. I hope no one else out there is willing to offer him nine figures. The Royals need him at the front of the rotation, and the knuckle curve and changeup tend to age better than the four-seamer.Yeah, you're probably right.

I have no idea what's going to happen tonight.
I assume both starting pitchers will be on short leashes, so I guess it will come down to which middle reliever blinks first.
Only seems fitting to the Royals' postseason that we see extra innings tonight.

Sorry your dog#### team couldn't hold a 4-run lead against a roster that hit 95 HRs in 162 games.

Royals batting order tonight is the game as Game 6:
1. Escobar SS
2. Aoki RF
3. Cain CF
4. Hosmer 1B
5. Butler DH
6. Gordon LF
7. Perez C
8. Moustakas 3B
9. Infante 2B
R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R to protect against situational relievers.. as always the decision to bat Gordon 6th is, umm, "unconventional".
Guthrie is the starting pitcher. Jeremy Guthrie really is starting Game 7 of a World Series. MLB level World Series, too.

Cross-fire! Ptew ptew!Sorry your dog#### team couldn't hold a 4-run lead against a roster that hit 95 HRs in 162 games.
My kid and I have been loudly yelling "LET'S GO ROYALS!" all week. Am I a few weeks behind you jumping on the Royals bandwagon? Yes. Does it matter, now that we're at the finish line? No.

Really wanted to see Ishikawa out in left one more time this October, but you can't always get what you want.
Hudson is the starting pitcher.
Bumgarner is up and throwing in the bullpen.

I apologize. That was uncalled for. Plus, calling out Dentist for rooting for Jamie Gold is awesome shtick and I shouldn't try to distract from it.Enjoy the game tonight.Cross-fire! Ptew ptew!Sorry your dog#### team couldn't hold a 4-run lead against a roster that hit 95 HRs in 162 games.

Fans booing lustily when the pitcher dares to throw over to 1st base is such an odd phenomenon.

It was just a bunch of street signs with the number 7 on it, cut to hyper close-up of George Brett, back to the number 7s, crappy music plays, cut to Joe Buck.My wife:
"That was.......weird. Do they always do that?"

"Yost told us that Herrera would come in as early as the 2nd inning if Guthrie gets in trouble."
2nd inning... Guthrie in trouble... nobody warming up.

Yeah I don't get it. Why not start Bumgarner and if he's in trouble, then you can go with Hudson. It shouldn't have been the other way around

I'll be shocked if they get anything more than an inning of productive work from Bumgarner. Throwing on 2 days rest is pretty damn hard. Soreness is still pretty intense.Yeah I don't get it.

When he was rounding third, Butter looked like he was trying to hail a cab to give him a ride home.

Not that the Giants would want him but Peavy should be available as well.

For all the times I complained about Buck leaving a guy in too long and someone said "It's not game 7 of the World Series", I guess the style of tonight is how I want to see games managed.
