I may have to register just to tell this ****ing sock sniffer that after soul crushing defeat in 76 (Chambliss) 77 (**** you Whitey, **** you Paul Blair, **** you Graig Nettles,) 78 (**** you Doug Bird) and 1980 (**** all of Philly) and 29 years (mostly) of baseball befitting the Kansas City A's, I think we KC fans have suffered enough.

So take your baseball cross and make peace with whatever baseball gods you want. The Royals ...Americas Team, mind you, is about go all King Herod on you and the rest of the Baltimore ass goblins.

He knows it's over. Fair? Give a break. He should be embarrassed that he posted that entire "whaa" post. Good grief.

Well, it is their forum. They have a right to have their biased, sad thoughts in their house.

If you went through all the trouble to get access to post a response, they'll probably just mock you, delete your post, and ban you. No one is going to take a good, long look in the mirror and deeply rethink their Oriole-centric worldview after reading your words.

Was at both games... O's fan started off sweet as pie... Then many (not all) of them got sour and nasty quick. Some shit head pushed me... I put him in his place. Also the incessant ****ing music question trying to get the crowd going was mind numbing - like living in a jukebox.

We felt the heartbreak of the WS lost to the Phillies in 1980.

We felt the unbelievable joy of the 85 WS Championship and felt the team was ready to take it's place amongst the elite MLB teams.

Then we followed them with more heartbreak in the late 80's.

Mr K passed away and our team went into a serious funk for years to come.

We have found our way back to the postseason and the joys are abound. We are playing a quality opponent in Baltimore.

As an old timer on the BB, it must be pointed out to you younger kids that are filled with the joy of winning in the postseason for the first time. While it is easy to be filled with so much excitement & confidence of winning, it is also easy to over look the true opponents, Baltimore & ourselves.

Detroit dominated us this year because of what I am about to speak on. Baltimore, just like Detroit has power, plenty of it. Kansas City jumping out first and making Baltimore's pitchers pitch more pitches per inning is a big reason KC is up 2 - 0 in this series, but it is not the only reason. All year long we ( fans ) have pined for the Royals to take more pitches at the plate, Be selective & make the pitcher work more, thus working the count to our advantage. This story speaks about it as well http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-...behind-in-alcs

All year the Royals have been a much better road team by way of wins than wins as a home team. KC went to Baltimore and did what they had done all year, win on the road. Now we get to come home to a place where we do not win as well as we do on the road. I would like to see the # of pitches per bat on the road vs the # pitches per bat on the road. All year we have played well at time at the K, other times we have played crappy and lost some series at the K.

This series with Baltimore can shift all in the mist of just losing 2 of 3 games at home, in other words, a lost home series at the K. We have seen this before, playing so well on the road to come back to the K & fizzle out in front of the home crowd. KC needs to close it out at home, just win a 3 game series at home. We can not afford to lose the 3 game series at home, we can not afford giving the birds a breath of life leaving KC, no matter how good of a road team KC is.

This series can shift the minute KC gets away from the being patience at the plates. The more pitches you make the pitcher pitch, the more chances he is likely to make a mistake, hang a curve, a meatball out over the heart of the plate. The type of pitch that awakes the Baltimore bats and causes the birds to win a series in KC. All year we have seen the Royals swing at first pitches, getting too many early outs and leaving the pitcher with a low pitch count. This series with Baltimore, as it was with the Angels, the Royal bats were patience, working the count to our advantage.

You don't switch from what's working! You don't fix what doesn't needs fixing. The Royals ( & some fans ) are cocky right now, just as they were when they came home on a previous 10 game win streak earlier this year. Having confidence is one thing, to error thinking this thing is over is carelessness. All the players need to do is one thing, remember that all they have done to date is win a few games! That there are more games to win and until you get to that point of where it's over, don't change but just man the course to get there, keep working the pitcher over, work the count!

In 1985 Toronto got very cocky after winning Game 4 in KC. The Blue Jay players were heard talking about the series being over for KC.

Dyson and KC just needs to man the course, keep doing what is working, patience at the plate and play defense.

There is plenty of time for celebrating and reminiscing the season after the title is won.

Your poor grasp of the English language is testing my patient.
