The Giants win game 3 in 10 innings thanks to a errant throw to first during a bunt play.

K.C. ties the 1976 Reds and 2007 Rockies by starting a postseason 7-0.

Can the O's pull an 04 Red Sox?

That catch by Moustakas was one of the greatest defensive plays in MLB postseason history. And the fundamental soundness came through again when Butler hit that sacrifice fly right when the Royals needed it. Even in July none of us would have guessed that the Royals would be our American League Champions. To see a team go from three decades of futility to winning a pennant in such short time is surreal. What a fun, fundamental, and fantastic team these Royals are.

No. Also, in the '04 Red Sox situation, the Red Sox were the away team. No home team has ever done it. No home team has the advantage to play 3 in a row at home.

Pitching has been just as good as the Royals (outstanding bullpen tonight), but the hitting hasn't been. Adam Jones swings at everything and refuses to take a walk and everyone else is hardly doing anything. Take that and couple it with the Royals lights out defense and this series is all but over. It's so frustrating to lose all these close games.

I'll hold hope because the O's have certainly won four games in a row, but everyone but Baltimore is behind KC. All the magic, all the momentum, everything the O's were riding flying into this series was ripped right from under them and given to Kansas City. Two underdogs go into the ALCS and the Royals were the bigger one.

WOW! Congratulations to the American League Champion Kansas City Royals! In an era of free spending on power hitters and starting pitching, the Royals built their team around speed, small ball, and bullpen. And the real key to this run has been the GREAT defense played by the Royals. It's an amazing story, Kansas City has great fans, and we've just seen the most unlikely pennant winner of our generation, if not all time.

When you wish upon a star makes no difference who you are anything your heart desires will come to you. If your heart is in your dream no request is too extreme when you wish upon a star as dreamers do. Like a bolt out of the blue fate steps in and sees you through. When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.

*end song*

GO CRAZY KANSAS CITY! GO CRAZY!

Congratulations again to the American League Champion Kansas City Royals, their fans, and their city! :)

Royals are certainly up there with the 2007 Rockies and the 2008 Rays, but what a run. We'll see you in KC on Tuesday night for Game 1 or the World Series.

I've already gone over how disappointing it is, so let's look at the positives!

As with the Royals, no one expected us to be here. Many projected the O's to be last in the division. This has definitely been a fulfilling season.

I was cheering for the Royals before the ALCS, so I might as well pick up where I left off for the the World Series.

Just to note, those '07 Rockies who swept the LDS and LCS, were subsequently swept in the World Series. Let's hope the Royals can avoid that fate.

By virtue of the Wild Card game, the Royals are now the first team in MLB history to win the first eight games of the postseason.

Now all we need is for St. Louis to come from behind and win the next three games in a row! "Show Me" Series, anyone?

(By the way...one of my cousins played a season or two with the Royals in the early '90s)

This also ties an all-time postseason record; with the 75-76 Reds, who won Game 7 of the 1975 World Series, behind Joe Morgan's top 9 single, infamously after the Fisk waved fair home run game, followed by a 7-0 sweep of everyone the next year-that's never been done otherwise. Closest is 2005 White Sox and 1999 Yankees, who both were 11-1.

Kansas City have been undefeated in the playoffs thus far, and this is their first trip to the World Series since they won it all in 1985
