Royals come from 7-3 down in the 8th to force extra innings. They then come from behind again to win in the 12th

You have to love playoff baseball, unless you're a Blue Jays fan as they might not remember 20 years ago!

San Fran thumped Pittsburgh in the NL Wild Card Game, so the Divisional Series matchups are now set.

My predictions

Tigers over Orioles
Angels over Royals

Natinals over Giants
Dodgers over Cardinals

LCS

Angels over Tigers
Natinals over Dodgers


World Series

Natinals over Angels

Don't mind as long as we get good baseball, plus the Cards losing would be nice.

Despite a good friend of mine being heavily involved with the Cards community work, them and the Giants are the only ones that I wouldn't want to see win.

Why the Giants?

[UK Redsox]

Because they've won it twice recently.

Also, my childhood nickname was 'Dodger'**, so I've always had a soft spot for Los Angeles

(** lost it when I started playing rugby for Lyd and one of the props already went by that nickname)

Turner Field (a few minutes ago) seen from the top of the multi-story car-park by work

A perfectly good ballpark that's deemed unsuitable by the team's owners despite being less than 20 years old.

They're idiots.

And the new location is going to totally fuck up my commute home. Bastards.

Three post-season games for the Royals and three extra-inning wins
