Watching the game and if game 1 was any indication, this will be a great series!! For me, if the Jays aren't in it I'll go with the Orioles. Who's your pick from the American League and why? Play Ball!!!!!!!

Royals because I like their fans. They gave visiting Detroit Tiger Miguel Cabrera a standing o when it was announced he had just won the triple crown a couple of years ago. I thought it was a classy thing to do.

It would be nice to see one of these two teams win the series as opposed to either of the teams from the NL.

Basically I hate the American League but between the two I suppose the Royals. I mostly want the Royals to win this year just because I want revenge from 1985. ;-) I was an Orioles fan for a while when I was a kid just because Boog Powell played for them and he was from Key West and so was I. Then I moved to Alabama and got hooked on the Cardinals (and rock music) because KMOX and WLS were the only radio stations we could pick up at night.

As an Angels fan, it was hard to watch the Royals sweep that series; however, I'd like to see the Royals win it all. A team that has gone as long as they have without being in the post season needs it. On top of that there is something about the Orioles I just don't like. Everybody was talking at the start of the post season about a Freeway (Angels/Dodgers) or Beltway (Nats/Os) World Series, but at this point we could likely see an all-Missouri series.

Orioles.  I'm a Red Sox fans, but I liked the Orioles as a kid too.  I had a Brooks Robinson glove.  Frank Robinson was a joy to watch play.  "Boog" Powell is one of the coolest baseball names ever,  only surpassed by "Sparky".

I am hoping that they make it to the WS and win so fans will start filling up beautiful Camden yards.  It is sad that when the Sox play there, it is almost a home game.

Royals, because I live in KC and have been a fan all my life, well actually, all the Royals life.  When I was little, I was a Cardinals fan, because my grandmother was and the Royals didn't exist, but once they came to town I switch my allegiance.  Cheered for them through the glory years and still support them.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?


Royals but I have no vested interest... I lived in the area and used to get so tired of the Royals being the Yankees' farm team so I lost interest and rooted for the Cards. After the strike, I quit with baseball all together. So I feel like Homer when he suddenly finds out that the Isotopes are in the championship game after bashing the team all year... Go Topes!!!

    • Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often. 
    • So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.
    • Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.
    • Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
