Wow! Rangers blow a 2-0 series lead and home field. Thanks Governor! Now let's hope Astros pull through or I'm gonna protest outside the Capitol. Jinx of the century. Know your role Governor and shut your mouth!

Serious question, how does a guy like Bautista go from bouncing around utility man to one of the best hitters in MLB after he turns 29?
Similar to the transformation in JD Martinez - a swing change: http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/going-deep/ http://www.thepostgame.com/features...-jose-bautista-experimented-his-way-greatness
It happens more often than you think, but maintaining excellence for more than a couple of years is rare. What's Dan Uggla up to these days? Or Kevin Maas? Bob Hamelin?
No mention of the incredible choke job by the Blue Jays tonight? Blowing a 3 run lead is not the same as a 4 run lead, but it sure is close. Or, how their manager left Price in the game and allowed him to give up five hits in the 7th inning? How can a manager allow a pitcher to stay in a game (in the 7th inning) after giving up the 4th hit in an inning? No manager does that - right? And, why didn't he bring in his closer to stem the tide?
I feel like I should be rooting for the Cubs to win it all, but I'm not. Aside from the Yankees and Rangers, there's no team I enjoy watching lose more than the Cubs. The Schwarber home run ball in the plexiglass killed whatever positive feelings I might have had for them. If they get bounced are they gonna blow that ball up too? Or are they just gonna say this is also Bartman's fault, it's now the Bartman curse. Lovable losers my ass.
They never should have encased that baseball in glass and left it on the wall. That is like spitting in the face of the curse and expecting it won't spit back on them. The curse is a lot of fun. I would love to see some epic collapse. There's really no external view of a curse for Houston from what I can tell, I think partly due to the Rockets, Dynamo, and Comets success. Internal fears, absolutely. But external, think the country could care less about the transparent losing.
It's almost like the Royals are a really good baseball *team* that does not give up ABs or even pitches in certain situations. Kubiak would be proud of their battlefightabilities. After Game 1!?! You and the Cubs deserve each other. Now this man understands things.
