Because it's the Royals. They haven't won shit in a long time, just like the Chiefs. This fan base is sick of losing in baseball too.

Furthermore these are the types of games this team can't afford to blow, IF they are concerned about winning this year.

I remember people getting pissed at Mark Grezolonic dropping a pop fly the same year that he won the gold glove. Baseball ...shit happens.

That dudes names is ****ed up, but thats a pretty bad attempt @ spelling it. Let me try and see if I can do any better. Could be a fun diversion fom the Holland sucks posts, how many cp attempts it takes to spell Mark Grudzleanik w/o google.

Very close, you added an extra I at the end.

If this loss is on Yost, then it is literally impossible for any player to ever be blamed for a loss. Every loss is on the manager for some reason.

[Hootie]

he's a god damn closer and he isn't a closer that is on "thin ice"...it's his inning to win or lose

he lost

it happens

like I said, April fans watch baseball like football and it's unrealistic

sucks we lost like that but it'll happen at least 5 more times this year

Exactly. There's Mo Rivera, and there's lucky mother****ers like Valverde who is perfect one year, then the next year doesn't get the breaks and implodes.

Yep

Hollands a young closer, he's only going to get better in the role. People calling for Crow to take over the closer job haven't seen Crow give up homers and run's before. He has done it.

I'm not jumping off a bridge here. It just sucks to have played such a good game, and give it away on ****ing walks. I don't like Yost, but I won't blame him for this one. Holland just didn't do his job tonight. Still sucks huge dicks.

I guess at least we're not the Pirates. They just got shut out for the 2nd night in a row. They have 6 runs and 17 hits... on the season. They've had more than 4 hits once so far.
