It's funny how when someone on a team you are rooting for does that, it is hilarious, but when someone on a team you are rooting against does it, they are loving douchebags.

Meaning, that was loving hilarious, go Royals.

If the Royals complete the sweep tomorrow, I'm a bit worried that all the time off waiting for the NLCS to finish might cool them down, a la the 2007 Rockies.

Everyone said the same thing after they swept the Angels though. They had 4 days off then and would have 5 off before the World Series if they complete the sweep tomorrow. I'm inclined to believe there probably isn't much to that.

I just read this from the Royals' recap:

"There have been 33 previous best-of-seven postseason series in which a team had a 3-0 lead and only once did it evaporate. Of those, 27 ended in a sweep."

I wouldn't have guessed that over 80% of 3-0 leads end up as a sweep...

I'm sure everyone is fine with Choate vs. Crawford.

What about Crawford's reverse split? (.320 BA vs LHP and .213 against RHP this season/.251 vs LHP and .239 vs RHP career)

^^ I would have bet quite a bit that this was a photoshop...

This Royals poo poo is like a Twilight Zone episode. I love it.

Last year it was the literal worst playoff outcome. This year it's the best.

There is no way this is better than Royals/Pirates or Royals/Nationals.
