The two best teams in the American League will play for the ALCS. Sadly for fans of the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros -- two franchises without a World Series title -- that means their tortured playoff histories continue. The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Rangers 6-3 and the Kansas City Royals beat the Astros 7-2. Nobody will remember those scores. They'll remember that seventh inning in Toronto and Johnny Cueto's clutch performance for Kansas City.
1. That incredible, preposterous seventh inning. Even Stephen King, master of inventing crazy stories, couldn't believe what he saw.
