Holland looks like he just drank fifty cups of coffee.

Wow, I tuned in in the Top of the 9th and I'm glad I did.

Guys.

Guys.

Baseball is the best sport.

I ain't even care that the Royals lost. Baseball rules.

Perez just could not lay off of it.

Not keen the Giants took it, but happy the Royals made ya think for a moment.

[Meacon Keaton]

How incredibly undisciplined that last at-bat was. That's a shame.

Still, that was the only five minutes of baseball I've watched since September and that was just fantastic.

[gunnar hendershow]

Unbelievable, he did it. Un fucking believable.

[ThaBoss18]

Kinda sad Royals came 90 feet of extending it to extras but Bumgardner was just superhuman

But was still a awesome series and I hope the Royals stay good and this isn't a one year wonder,

Wow what a day for baseball Maddon joining the Cubs, a awesome Game 7 and now another enjoyable part which is the baseball off season

[CobraKaiEnTai]

Damn, wanted the Royals to win this year. But oh well.

Next year is the Cubs year right? Back to the Future II said so.

This trophy presentation has sounded like a funeral and now the guy giving the MVP award out sounds like he just ran a marathon.

[Katsuya]

I don't really watch baseball but it's been on all the time we've been here and all I know is I want Bumgarner and Sandoval's babies.

[The Buscher]

Can't imagine how Royals fans feel right now. I know they exceeded expectations beyond belief but still...that's a loss that's going to sting for a while. They have some exciting young hitters who finally paid off and a killer bullpen, so they SHOULD be a team right in the thick of contention, but you never know. Shields, despite the bad postseason, is almost certainly going to get a contract to the tune of 6 years, $100 million from another team. That'll be a lot of innings to replace.

Here's hoping the Royals don't fall off a cliff like the Rangers did after their 7 game World Series. KC has great fans and I had a lot of fun rooting for the team this postseason. Hopefully they're back next year.

They should have thrown caution to the wind and sent Gordon home. Written in the stars, man.

I thought for sure he'd have enough time to get home or force a close play at the plate. If it was one out I'd say leave him at 3rd, but it was 2 outs and you'd need another hit to get him home anyway.

[Meacon Keaton]

Agreed. The odds of getting a base hit off Madison at that point was much slimmer than Gordon beating out the throw.

[The Buscher]

I don't think I'd ever want to be a 3rd base coach. Even if sending him was the sensible move given the circumstances, if the last out of the World Series is the runner getting thrown out at home plate you know he'd have gotten crap for that, too.

[gunnar hendershow]

If he sent him with 1-out, yes. But there were 2-outs, anything but a hit from the next batter ends it. And it was Perez. I'd say, since Gordon has speed, you pinch hit a guy like Dyson and try to suicide squeeze a tie out of it. Instead Perez was forced to come up and forced to swing for the fences. Hence the undisciplined at-bat.

If the throws were on target Gordon would have been out at home, but anything slightly off and he'd make a play out of it.

Basically I don't think the third base coach would have caught too much flack for trying to get something out of nothing, Madison was unhittable and the defense just presented an opening to KC.

[gunnar hendershow]

Watch this once: Feel kinda bad for the guy

Watch this twice: Look at Bud Selig

Watch this thrice: Erin Andrews almost loses it
