KC Royals

I'm only a casual baseball fan, but gotta rep the Royals for what they've accomplished (and will ideally continue to accomplish this week) after 30 years of futility. These guys remind me of Carolina in that their style is against the grain of current trends in the sport, though much more so last year than this year, but the guys have completely bought in and never give up.

Huge game tonight.  KC does not want to give back the two games they won against Harvey and deGrom

The Mets blundered this one away tonight, but they got a bit lucky with that second HR anyway. Difficult to see the Royals losing the next 3, even with the strike zone differences...

The Mets need their big three to sweep the next three.  Unlikely but it is hard to see a team better prepared to do it.  One more win, good luck Royals!

as someone without a horse in this race its pretty hypocritical for royals fans to bitch about being thrown at considering they did that poo all year in the AL Central and threw at Donaldson multiple times and told him to quite whining when he complained about it. can't have it both ways.

Right or wrong, I think fans are more annoyed at the loss than anything - 30 years of losing (plus the Chiefs' decades of playoff futility) has folks starving for a WS win. Had KC won I don't think we'd be hearing much about it at all, so some folks have to grab onto something since they didn't.

Either way, it's 3-1 now and this city is going to explode if they pull it off.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
