Who's ready for some Missouri Baseball?

How about a repeat of the 1985 World Series?

 

Go Cards!

 

I'm with you on that Jim!

 

I think it was 6-1 when I went to bed. I had to be at work at 6:00 Eastern today and it's hard to stay up late when you get up at 4:30. I figured that it was a lost cause. I woke up at about 2:00 and decided to look on my tablet just to see how bad it was and if the Royals had any luck against the Angels. When I looked at the scores I had to grab my glasses because I was sure I wasn't seeing it right. My wife woke up and said, "What are you doing?" I think I was dumbfounded and wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

A repeat "I-70 Series" would be neat. I'm rooting for the Royals to win the AL because I really like their team - hard for me to admit as I have really had a rough time even watching the Royals ever since AL Umpire Denkinger cost the '85 'birds the series win because of his obvious blown call at first base in the 9th inning of game 6. The Cardinal/Dodger game last night was really something - even though we were accused of stealing signs by that announcer, who doesn't seem to realize the Cardinals have a very good, winning record against Wonder Boy Kershaw. It's the Dodger pitcher tonight I fear - ex-Royal Greinke. The 'birds really have trouble against him, except when he was with Milwaukee.

I remember going down to the Kirkwood station in 1985 to see the Cardinal train come through on their way back to StL after taking the first two games in KC. Huge crowd. We were all feeling real good then not knowing of the upcoming disasters game 6 and game 7 would bring.

Go Cards, go Royals! (Though I'd also like to see the O's and the Nats advance) So far, California is not doing very well vs our two Missouri teams!

It most certainly would but this time it would not be played entirely at Sportsman's Park.

Looks like the Royals are well on their way.

 

Now the Royals have to play the old St Louis Browns, err, uh ..... the Baltimore Orioles (since 1954).

Cards need a win tomorrow night vs the Brooklyn Dodgers, err, uh ..... the LA Dodgers.

I was in that state for a long time, until it dawned on me that, with a 2-0 lead heading back to St. Louis for 3, and at least 2 more starts by John Tudor, the Cardinals should have wrapped it up before game 6 was even necessary.

"The Call" with Todd Worrell, Jorge Orta and said umpire is one of those still photos that is immortalized amongst all of the other memorabilia at Booche's here in town.

I am thrilled that the Royals are doing so well, and am ecstatic for my Royals' friends who have suffered long enough.

 

Chris -

Agree! We lost game 3, but won game 4. I had tickets for game 5 at Busch, and I was convinced I was going to see another Cardinal World Series win. Didn't happen, and in fact, the 'birds looked awful in that game. I was worried about going back to KC as the Royals had new life after winning two of three in StL. But, game six was a tough, close match, but with Worrell going and leading in the bottom ninth, with one out already, I felt good. Then Denkinger gained his everlasting fame (shame). The next night, the 'birds lost their cool, and it was over. I still can't deal with it!

 

Well, the key then is not to say that again. LOL.
