squeezed

[mayhap]

For a few brief, shining innings it looked like the Royals might be able to hand Dallas Keuchel his first home loss this year, but then reality came crashing down from that obnoxious roof on Minute Maid Park. (Seriously, I hate that stupid ballpark so much. It's crammed with a million idiotic quirks that require more special ground rules than any other park and they can't even justify any of it with history or tradition, which I could respect, because they built the damn thing all of fifteen years ago.)

True, the Royals only have to win one away game to bring the series back home for a deciding game five, and tomorrow's Keuchel-less matchup is a slightly more plausible candidate, but I'm not sure I'm ready for sudden death baseball starting at noon tomorrow.
