anything else is a shameful choke

Just 2 years ago, I started a September GDT that went 39 posts. We've all come a long way.

Believe me. If I was single we wouldn't be much different.

I cried when Chambliss homered when I was 5.

I cried when Willie Wilson struck out the final at bat of the WS in 80.

I jumped up and down with my brothers game 6 in 85.

I went to hundreds of games with my dad growing up.

I've worn Royals gear around OKC for years getting funny looks.

I've cussed the organization for not fielding a competitive product for years.

If nothing else this year has made me bond with my kids over the Royals. They are hooked. Something I really thought would never happen.

I agree with you that Ned should have brought in Wade earlier but I also think back to spring and think I would take the Royals tied at 2 games with 2 out of 3 at the K left regardless of the circumstances. I also have a strange feeling we will win tonight. Just try to enjoy the ride dude. Don't get me wrong. I really want to win. I know these chances don't come often. I've had one team win a title my whole life.

I hear ya, man. I acted like a fool this morning. Just distraught over yesterday. My apologies.

George Liquor · 10-26-2014, 10:37 AM

I've watched probably 50 Royals games this year and I'm not even a Royals fan.

I'm gonna start calling folks out.

I'm 1 of about 10 on this site that followed the Royals the entire year day in and day out.

so I can react or get as emotional or overreact in any way I see fit

There were more than 10. Hell I probably watched or listened to as many games as you. Every day. I don't have to post in a thread to prove it

The more worrisome thing would be if nobody was upset at all. It would mean that zero ****s were given.

Anger and frustration with failure at the pinnacle of the sport are understandable. You just need to aim it at the right things/people.

Mine are hooked too.

My two year old knows all kinds of animal noises. In the middle of him showing his grandma all of them I said what do we do for the royals and he threw both hands up and screamed whoooooo.

They are all cards fans and still loved it...

That could be, I've mostly stayed out of them due to the idiots that haven't been around all year saying stupid shit and I try to enjoy the games with my family

That, and every time he goes off the deep end he just devolves into a lunatic who makes every single post about how great he is. I don't see how other people derive "enjoyment" out of it.

tk13 · 10-26-2014, 11:17 AM

As for the thread, this thread is embarrassing. Shields doesn't owe us squat. If I went to the Orioles board and saw this thread I would laugh at them. I hate it when people say other people "owe" them stuff. This team is not only in the playoffs for the first time in 30 years in large part thanks to Shields, it's into the World Series. He could give up 13 runs tonight, and he's still given this city and organization as much success as any player since Brett and Montana retired.

Now, he definitely needs to give us 6 IP, 1 or 2 runs allowed to keep us in the game and give it a shot, but calling him out like this is embarrassing.

**DeezNutz** · 10-26-2014, 11:17 AM

Shields needs a great start tonight to justify the trade.
