Rare is it a case that a team completely blows a bases loaded, no out situation in the top of the 9th like the Royals did....only to easily blow through the bottom of the inning and then unload in the 10th....all on the road!

They are not the best team in baseball by any means, but unless we can drop a really painful loss on them that gives them some shred of self-doubt, this series may be a quickie version of 1997. This one feels a little worse than your normal Game 1 loss because of how it played out.

One of their cyborg relievers really needs to screw up or something and cost them the game.

This is destiny. And a damn good group of pitchers. And timely hitting.

Dude. They've been the doormat of the league for decades up until a couple of years ago. They were the butt of every brokedick team in the league. I used too bet my cousin on whether or not they'd lose 100 games in a season.

What Dayton Moore has done is nothing short of amazing. And even that took him 7 long years to accomplish. Take nothing as a slight. Just enjoy the ride, baby!

With baseball the way that it is now, and not looking like it will ever change, tomorrow is never guaranteed for teams like the Royals. #TaketheCrown

The Orioles' scout board is a lot better place to hang out (see what I did there?).

OHO is known as the most-homerish Orioles board out there.

Orioles internet fans are pretty ridiculous and homerish in general, though (not all - just some). Remember when the Orioles were busy telling the Royals they should feel privileged to trade Billy Butler (Coming off a .313/29 HR/100+ RBI, .900 OPS season) for Brian Matusz and Jon Schoop (who are the time was at A ball)...

Twitter douche fits right in with them.

Where does the arrogance come from?

They haven't won shit since 83.

Apparently from the same place some Chiefs fans find it regarding matchups with the Raiders.

So true. At training camp I had that cheese wheel wearing, meth addled, card passing, rotten toothed, glitter bedazzled shit for brains thuperfan xfactor behind me talking to a raiders fan and telling him how "The Chiefs will dominate" the Raiders this season.

I didnt realize the STJMO produced so many fetal alcohol babies that survived.

My concern isn't so much a single game, or a division or even world series.

I just don't want all this success to turn into a huge swap meet at the K for the major market teams this offseason.

Worse than sucking was all those years watching the Royals being the best farm team on earth.

An undeafeated decade for the Chiefs, followed by another decade and a half of last place Raiders, might have contributed.

James Shields is probably going to walk in free agency to a long, expensive contract (that the team signing him might regret in years 3-5). That's not the Royals being a farm team.

Billy Butler is probably going to be cut loose, because he has an expensive option and has declined significantly for two straight seasons. He isn't worth $12.5 million a year any longer. That's not the Royals being a farm team.

The Royals MIGHT trade Greg Holland or Wade Davis as part of a deal to improve the everyday lineup or rotation. That's also not the Royals being a farm team.

My point: They're probably going to lose at least two and possibly three very prominent players after this year, but it's not because they're being cheap assholes and fire-sale-ing the team.

The Royals haven't traded a good player in a true salary dump since 2004. Dayton Moore has NEVER done it (

**Bufkin** · 10-11-2014, 08:54 AM

**** them. They don't know what it's like to be a Kansas City sports fan. Also, any stadium that starts a Seven Nation Army chant deserves the worst case of Ebola. I hope we sweep them, and then piss on their batting practice equipment on our way out.

I wasn't predicting it, certainly not guaranteeing it. I was just saying I'm gonna be on tenterhooks until they start stringing together sustained success.

I might be expressing myself poorly, but I'd characterize it as cautious optimism in the long term and drunken besotted bliss in the present.

This. I don't think I can ever want good things for the city of Baltimore, thanks to that stupid song. Also, their fan base seems way douchier than I thought.
