Royals World Series Game 4 Review

Well that sucked! I could stop here, but I won't. The part that sucked was that the Royals had a 4-2 lead going to the bottom of the 5th and they could not make that stand. The Giants tied it up in the 5th and blew it open in the 6th scoring 3 and put it away in the 7th scoring 4.
Good news - this loss only tied up the series up at 2-2 and 2 of the 3 games are in KC. Bad news - Bumgarner is pitching game 5 for the Giants and is 3-0 in World Series starts and Perez's late home run in Game 1 is the only run he has given up. Good news - By starting Game 5 Bumgarner will not start again. Good news - HDR is rested and ready to go for Game 5 if/when needed.
The Royals were beat last night in a Royals way. In the 5th, 6th and 7th innings the Giants had a bunch of bloop, broken bat and well placed singles to score 9 runs. Both Hosmer and Perez had good nights at the plate going 6 for 9 scoring a run and 2 RBI's.
A loss by a run or 7 runs all count the same so no need to dwell on last night. Time to move forward and make history by giving Bumgarner his first World Series loss.

Chiefs vs Rams
The Chiefs through their first six games are 3-3, and I think at the start of the season if fans were told we can jump to the seventh game with a 3-3 record we would have all taken it. The Rams come in 2-4 playing like a team with nothing to lose. I think if St. Louis was not playing with nothing to lose this would be a fairly easy win for the Chiefs, but with nothing to lose the Rams will do anything to try and win, and if doesn't work they will lose anyway. After an exciting game early and then a blow out that went late by the Royals and a noon kickoff it may take the fans some work to get in to the game. So the Chiefs can not come out flat and let the Rams get an early lead. If the Chiefs play like they have the past few weeks and Andy Reid keeps dialing up the plays that should not be an issue.
I expect this to still be a game in to the 4th quarter, but I think the Chiefs will make the plays when needed to win by double digits. Chiefs 27 Rams 17
