I think thats an awful rule. Just wish we had a rule where players wanted to play the way Gwynn and Ripken did in the All star games I remember. Also I think the ASG should happen the week after the WS but I know...That cuts into vacation for the shitty teams!

I'm very excited for all of the Kansas City faithful.  What a night, what a game.  That game could've gone on several more innings and I would have loved every second of it.  More importantly, what a disaster finish for Oakland who were almost expected to be World Series champions.

That was very reminiscent of the 2009 AL Central Tie Breaker between Detroit and Minnesota at the Metrodome.  Being at this game was one of the most incredible games I've ever seen in person, and certainly the best baseball game I've ever seen first hand.

It WAS CRAZY!  I don't know that words can do justice - I'll try a writeup after work.  That was the most emotional roller coaster, the fans were incredible - louder than any I've ever heard - and the fans were on top of the game the whole night.  Nothing in sports tops that experience!

Until the royals give the cardinals the 1985 title that rightfully belongs in St. Louis I have no interest in seeing them win or take part in the playoffs

Wow, really?  Get over it.  Cards lost fair and square they had two more miscues AFTER the Denkinger call, that's what cost them the game and gave up the winning run.  Then another game to make it up and instead rolled over and quit.

And that's why KC fans are the best.  Grateful for what we have! After 29 years, that stadium was rocking, on their feet and loud for 10 of the 12 innings.  We made Lester uneasy, we made the outfielders collide when they couldn't hear each other, we believed and cheered our team for the magnificent season and they rewarded us by scraping back into the game run by run - something this offense shouldn't be able to do.  Emotional, ecstatic, best sporting event I've ever been to, and the loudest baseball can get.  I've been to Chiefs games, and this outstrips any I've been to (which isn't many), I went to KU and experienced the incredible intensity of basketball at Allen Fieldhouse, but this game had more tension and emotion and hope in it for every single fan in that stadium. 

I hope everyone can experience a game like that.  There won't be many.
