If the Royals and Cards win their respective leagues, I have no problem seeing an all-Missouri World Series between St. Louis and Kansas City. It will be like 1985.
Unlike KC, Oakland could get a hit. Oh, and the passed ball. Gotta be kiddin' me. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>The problem with nonstop smallball: It requires actually getting a clutch hit without bringing George Brett out of retirement.</p>— Jon Solomon (@JonSolomonCBS) <a href="https://twitter.com/JonSolomonCBS/status/517166557370519552">October 1, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
That Hosmer triple remind anyone else of Ausmus' game-tying HR in the 18 inning game? Same bounce off the ball...
I've got a friend sitting by the fountains in the outfield - says the crowd is outstanding riding the roller coaster of emotions.

Such a good game. Wonder how A's are feeling now after trading away so many young studs for a shot at the title this year. Better to take risks and lose than play it safe and lose anyway I guess. Still, poor Brad Pitt.
