The Magical Mystery Tour Continues- 11 In A Row For KC

((HT: MLB.com))

The HQ has cone to appreciate what Ned Yost is doing- and all the crazy, borderline genius that goes with it...

And we're saying 11 in a row because they won the last three in the 1985 baseball championship, then have won the play-in game, the Division Series, and now the ALCS...

You know that this will be shown early on in the discussions of the roll the Kansas City Royals are on...


Ned Yost's genius has worked on multiple levels that include speed, stealing bases, and moving from station to station

It includes your number three hitter BUNTING OVER RUNNERS IN THE FIRST INNING!!!


And a pitching staff that, if you get to the seventh inning, has three relievers lock it down from there...

Enter Greg Holland...


Welcome to the last series of the year, Royals...

Royals, Extras, No Problem...

((HT: MLB.com))

The HQ thinks that if the Kansas City Royals are allowed to hang around long enough, they'll come back and get you when you least expect it.

It happened for the second game in a row, but this time it was in the first game of the American League Division Series in Anaheim against the Angels in Anaheim.

Mike Moustakas did the damage in the 11th inning last night.


But to say it was just the Moustakas homer is a bit of a short sell to the defense of Lorenzo Cain and Nori Aoki
Four times in the game they saved Jason Vargas and Mark Davis


Four games on Friday getting in all their efforts before college football goes center stage- and the Angels have to be concerned about the possibility of having more than one game stolen from them.
