Tedd_Not_Ed: Feb 16, 2014; I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

Today's Game

Today in Baseball History

1939 - With 15 of the 24 first-place votes cast by the writers, Joe DiMaggio wins his first American League MVP award, easily out-distancing runners-up Jimmy Foxx and Bob Feller. The Yankees outfielder will also capture the prestigious prize in 1941 and 1947.
1955 - Baseball great Branch Rickey steps down as GM of the Pirates and moves into an advisory role. Joe L. Brown, son of the actor, replaces him.
1978 - Gaylord Perry becomes the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues. Perry cops the NL honor with a 21-6 record and a 2.72 ERA for the Padres. Perry had previously won the Award in 1972 with the Cleveland Indians.
1986 - The New York Mets rally for three runs with two outs in the 10th inning against the Boston Red Sox to win 6-5 and push the World Series to a decisive seventh game. The tie-breaking run scores on Boston first baseman Bill Buckner's error on Mookie Wilson's slow grounder.
1987 - The Minnesota Twins, behind Frank Viola, win their first World Series championship, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 in Game 7.
2005 - Mark Buehrle becomes first pitcher to start and save consecutive World Series contests. After receiving a no-decision starting Game 2, the 26-year old southpaw gets the final out in the 14th inning of Game 3 to record a save as the White Sox beat the Astros, 7-5.
2007 - Hideki Okajima becomes the first Japanese-born player to pitch in the World Series. The former Nippon Ham Fighters hurler comes out of the bullpen in relief of Curt Schilling and retires seven straight Rockies, including Kazuo Matsui, making it the first time Japanese natives have faced one another in the Fall Classic.

Royals
SS Alcides Escobar
LF Alex Gordon
RF Lorenzo Cain
1B Eric Hosmer
3B Mike Moustakas
2B Omar Infante
C Salvador Perez
CF Jarrod Dyson
SP Jason Vargas

Giants
CF Gregor Blanco
2B Joe Panik
C Buster Posey
RF Hunter Pence
3B Pablo Sandoval
1B Brandon Belt
LF Juan Perez
SS Brandon Crawford
SP Ryan Vogelsong

Royals lineup is the same as last night. Giants going with Juan Perez in left, not Mike Morse, vs. the LHP. Personally I'd rather have Morse get a couple ABs off Vargas than just one off KC's pen. But it's a close call and maybe Morse's oblique isn't 100% yet.

Yeah it seems they really don't want Morse running, in KC they said they were willing to lose the DH by pinch-running Juan Perez for him if need be.

It's basically Giants fans vs the world from what I can tell in these threads. But there are lots of Giants fans so it ends up being close to even.

Pastrymancy: Feb 20, 2011; 11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?

Giants have been losing because ive been too busy watching the game instead of posting Barry pictures in an internet forum's dedicated WS thread.

I just found my wallet that has been missing since the Royals won the ALCS. So I just made an emergency booze run.

First time a World Series game is started by two pitchers with names that start with V!

What a completely useless statistic.

Yeah we've finally found a statistic so useless even a national broadcast team can't take it seriously.

That's terrific Fox. The one thing I wanted to see in a replay is you three shuffling around in your seats.

And he strikes out two lefties in the first inning. Hells yes, if he can keep their LHH's in check this could be a real nice start

Still think Duffy should be pitching here but Vargas worked out earlier I guess.

With a better throw that would've been bad for Blanco.

Man if that was a better throw he woulda been out

In the end it's like he got the bunt down I guess.
