I couldn't get past the first few paragraphs. It's ridiculously over-written.

Interesting perspective with a few good lines.

Quote:

everything the Royals did happened because it could not be prevented, which meant every run scored against them had to be perfect, unpreventable. This is harsh, if you are trying to beat the Royals.
Quote:

They are just so reasonable about taking the chances they're given, and so unyielding about giving them away in return.
Quote:

This is what's scariest about the Royals, finally—they do not just punish mistakes. They punish anything that is not perfect, and they find it out as mercilessly as gravity finds out everything that goes up. This is not as cruel as it sounds, or as it can feel if you are on the wrong end of it. It is just the game being played according to the rules, as well as it can possibly be played.

First few paragraphs are agonizing, but the rest is really good.

Terrible couldn't read that tripe.

"Neither talent nor luck explains why a one-run lead on the Royals was, this October but also all season long, more stressful than a two-run deficit against most any other team."


good observation

Scroll down past the video of the woman playing the violin and start with the paragraph that begins with number 3.

I got a PM from him a while back, said he needed a break from this place, it's too negative for him.
