2015 ALCS Toronto Blue Jays VS Kansas City Royals

[DiracSpike]

So the start times came out...I don't have all of them but games 4 and 5 start, again, at 2:07 our time.

I just can't handle this. I understand it for the DS but this is the semifinals and they have games starting in the middle of the goddamn afternoon for half the continent. It's like they're trying to be irrelevant, they just won a boatload of fans for how fun thier post season has been and they're pissing it away. I get that they don't want games overlapping, I get that the New York -Chicago series has prioirity, I get that the US TV networks get basically no money for Jays games. But use your brain schedulers, you don't have to have a four hour cushion before games. Start the Cubs game at 8 Central, 7 mountain, 3 hour cushion before that is 4 mountain. There is no reason for these games to start so early.

I want to watch your product why won't you let me?

starting a game at 8 central is too late for the east coast, first pitch isn't til 9:10ish.

[Fire of the Phoenix]

These start times are more reasonable except during the middle of the week. I can understand a matinee game on the weekend but Tuesday and Wednesday is just stupid. Those will be the two games I have to miss

At least I was able to catch all of the glory that was game 5. That was all I was able to catch of the previous series despite wanting to watch the whole thing. And I had to call in sick to do it.

Estrada has been lights out for a while now. Guessing he's going to get lit up fast and furious. I predict 8-3 Royals tonight. 6 in the first 3.

Shut it. Don't know if this comment could be any worse. Like could you. Your what I think of this comment. Your what I think of your speaking. Your you.

Between this and your prediction about Baertschi scoring more than any Flames player this year, you seem like a guy I'd like to make bets with

Weren't you the one saying the Jays were imploding in game four when it was 7-1. How does feel to always be expecting impending doom? It must be crazy exhausting.

I'm sorry but this makes no sense. He's been doing terrifically well all year, so that must mean he's going to be bad tonight?

I remain optimistic. Jays are going to smack around the Royals and expose them for the idiots they all are. They're the Canucks of MLB! Give 'em the business!

zyzz sounds like a guy who would be convinced that the next coin flip is going to be heads because the last 5 flips were tails.

I was pretty stoked to catch the game at 5:30. Turns out it's at 6:07. What the heck, man??

Did you read the insane Game 4 and Game 5 viewership ratings here in Canada? Also, we were plastered all over the ESPN website/Sportscenter after Game 5. Irrelevant? We are the Chicago Cubs of the AL. Everyone, yes even Yankees fans, wants us to take out those punkass Royals.

[RougeUnderoos]

Sweet anthem, including the introduction: "the only non athlete on the Michael Jordan brand".

Really cool that he was wearing sweats while doing the national anthem. Sharp! Maybe Shania Twain will do the anthem for game 3 in cutoffs.

[whosurnabby]

Smallball lovers will love this series. I gurantee ya'll that.

[DropIt]

That was a beautiful punch out pitch on Revere

[whosurnabby]

That outfield is so HUGE! Donaldson tagged him and it was an out.

[Caged Great]

At least they are burning the pitcher, 24 pitches already

[JiriHrdina]

Showing good patience at the plate - pitch count nearing 25

[Street Pharmacist]

Keep that up they'll be in the bullpen by the 4th inning

[DropIt]

Well that's not a great start
