SECOND. :D

The Royals have, by far, the most expensive playoff tickets on the secondary market.

I guess thats what 29 years does.

If I would have known that tickets were gonna get this damned expensive, I would bought like 12 of them last week and sold them now. Oh well, for now I'm just grateful I bought into the ALDS early and literally saved hundreds of dollars.

[CaliforniaChief]

Oh yeah. Eff you Angels.

Nothing to test our magic like throwing Vargas against Trout, Pujols, Hamilton, and Kendrick.

Gotta take it to them early, set the tone.

No kidding.

I got 2 decent tickets (5 rows from front of upper deck by first base) for $68 each. (Game 2 on Friday).

Expensive tickets in KC, cheap in Orange County. Wake me up.

[alnorth]

Also, because I know myself, and I know damned well I'd pay for the world series if they made it, I bought a ticket to game 1. They'll probably not make it, and I'll get a refund if they don't, but I'll at least limit the damage to only *shudder* a bit over $600 if they did.

I'm willing to sit out the ALCS, but I would have to go to 1 game if they made it to the world series, so I limited the damage tonight by just reserving a ticket now. They'd probably be a thousand damned dollars for SRO tickets the night we won the AL.

How did you buy a WS ticket? I didn't think them and the ALCS were on sale yet?

Here's what Mike Sweeny thinks of the Weavers.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/bzEI845UFoA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[mr. tegu]

So I have been hearing that perhaps Duffy won't start this series. Why is that? Anyone hear anything different?

[Strongside]

So I have been hearing that perhaps Duffy won't start this series. Why is that? Anyone hear anything different?

He's in the pen for long relief for now. There are questions as to whether or not he's 100% healthy. The Royals and Duffy both say he's fine, but you have to wonder at this point. The question is, though, if he ISN'T healthy, then why use a roster spot on him?

My guess is he goes Monday or Tuesday if he hasn't been used in long relief at that point, but that's all it is: a guess.

In other fun news, Vargas' clip at Anaheim is pretty sick-nasty: 2.86 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 129 IP.

Also, Raul Ibanez is hitting over .440 with 4 home runs vs Weaver, so don't be surprised to see him get an AB tonight.

Yep, if we picked him for long relief instead of Ventura or Vargas, then I think we have to assume that something's up, and that he might still be healthy enough to pitch a few innings, but can't start for some reason.

[Great Expectations]

I think it is easier to assume we are getting Yosted.

[Dr. Gigglepants]

Pujols always kills us too. This is going to be a hell of a tough series, especially the way some of our starters have been going the last month of the season. Going to have to win a lot of high scoring ball games somehow.

Going to need Gordon to pull his head out too.

For some reason, I'm just not scared of the Angels. I know they're good, and score a lot of runs, and Trout is great and all that. But Detroit is much nastier. I'm not taking this series lightly, we're still heavy heavy underdogs, especially coming off the sugar high from the last couple days. I'm guardedly optimistic.

Let's go get em!

[Bearcat]

How did you buy a WS ticket? I didn't think them and the ALCS were on sale yet?

I think all that's available now is whatever season ticket holders have paid for (and whatever they've put on stubhub, etc). The ALCS presale for group/partial season packages is today, so I assume the public sale is in the next day or two. Curious about the WS if that were to ever happen, but I assume it would be the same kind of thing.

[mr. tegu]

My wife is getting some postseason shirts for us today. I love it!

The public sale didn't make a dent in the secondary market prices because there were very few tickets released.

I think there will be very, very few public tickets for the World Series. I'm guessing nearly every season ticket holder is going to grab extra tickets.

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Yeah, the Chiefs have kind of conditioned us to think of playoffs as one and done, but now we've finally earned an actual postseason series, it takes some getting used to. That's why I'm not too nervous about tonight. If we lose, we're still very much alive.

I will say that the five-game format brings back some very traumatic memories, though.

[alnorth]

I think I'd put us at about a 35% chance to win a 5-game series against the Angels. I think I'm fine with those odds. If we somehow get past the Angels, I'd put us at about 40-45% chance to win the ALCS.

[Fairplay]

I have a good feeling about this game.

This game is ours.

[Mr. Laz]

need the bats to show up, they will be ready for the base stealing

[CaliforniaChief]

Just seeing this thread title brought a smile to my face.

[CaliforniaChief]

Angels fans are extraordinarily confident. I think if we win one game, they'll be SHOCKED.

That said, there's no reason we can't steal one in Tomorrowland.

And then we conjure Kauffman Stadium Royals Devil Magic.

[Prison Bitch]

Where do you see their overconfidence? We are 3-3 vs them this year and Anaheim has only made it to one WS. They've had a rocky playoff history even when they've had golden opps

[CaliforniaChief]

Just based on three things, I think:

1. The second half of the season.
2. They don't respect the Royals.
3. They're douchebag Southern California sports fans.

[siberian khatru]

I'm still pissed at the Angels for beating us in 1979.

Unfortunately, I had to wait to line things up. I was going to purchase yesterday but standing room started at $160. I thought maybe people were being ambitious and they would drop some. Now standing is starting at $220. So far my gamble took a big shit on me so far. Not sure if I should continue to wait it out or bite now. There is also the thought of hoping we go further and purchase ahead. I have the money just didn't expect the market to be like this. It's higher than Thunder playoff games and there are less available seats for those. Speaks volumes of how hungry KC is for post season success.

I'm really sick because going last Monday and Tuesday going to the Chiefs and Royals game fell through for me. What a couple of days that would have been. It was great enough watching from home.

[CaliforniaChief]

Curious to see the roster composition for this round. Gore has to be on the roster. Has to be.

[alnorth]

Our playoff ticket prices are so crazy-high that ESPN wrote a story on it.

What a world we're living in. Playoff tickets for Royals baseball are skyrocketing, while fans are scraping the barrel to waltz into Los Angeles games. LMAO

You suck, Crapaheim.

[srvy]

Any options for those that don't get TBS and don't want to go to sports bar? I am watching the kids tonight as wife works nights. MLB will black it out since I am in KC. I had to listen to the radio on the playoff game with A's.

Dear Royals Fan,
Thank you for registering for the chance to purchase 2014 Royals Postseason tickets before they go on sale to the public.
Unfortunately, your entry was not selected for the presale opportunity for the 2014 American League Championship Series.
Please be aware that you still remain eligible to be selected for a chance to buy presale tickets for potential World Series games at Kauffman Stadium. We will notify you via e-mail once the random drawing for that opportunity has taken place.
Tickets for the American League Championship Series will go on sale to the public on Friday, October 3, at 10 a.m. CT.

You can always try your luck with a scalper or fans in the lot on Sunday. My buddy got an SRO for 60 in the lot on Tuesday.

My buddy picked up a $90 seat an hour before Tuesday's game on Stubhub. People that can't go will either reduce their price or list them at a decent price so they don't have to eat them. Makes it difficult to plan, but it's worth a shot.

We are currently experiencing a higher than usual number of fans attempting to purchase tickets. In an effort to be completely fair to all fans we have developed this Virtual Waiting Room, used to randomly allow access to the ticketing system during busy times such as this when all visitors cannot be served simultaneously.

When we automatically refresh your browser, the system will randomly determine your status in the virtual waiting room. You will either be randomly selected to continue to your ticket purchase or you will remain in the virtual waiting room.

When you are selected you will automatically see a popup which you must click on to enter the site. You will have a very limited amount of time to respond to the popup otherwise you will have to return to the Virtual Waiting Room, so please remain near your computer.

Roast thread.

[CaliforniaChief]

Moose has been having better at bats lately, showing some penchant for at least going the other way. I thought it was going to take a 7 man pyramid in right field to make that happen. That's why Nix is left off.

Colon can play 3rd if we need him to.

So our bench guys are Colon, Willingham, Gore, Dyson, and Kratz?

That's solid.

[DJJasonp]

Got my tix for game 2....cannot wait. Gotta get at least a split in Anaheim

[Anyong Bluth]

Depending on how the game is going I might have to be superstitious and avoid posting during the game. Last game was an emotional roller coaster, and I was too locked in to post at the same time. But, it turned out we got the best Royals game in 3 decades, and the dramatic win, so maybe play it safe and see if we can pull off a game one W.

That would be an absolute godsend, especially when it figures to be our worst pitching matchup!


Let's Go Royals!

[CaliforniaChief]

Got my tix for game 2....cannot wait. Gotta get at least a split in Anaheim

Where you at? We'll be in section 529, 5 rows up. And we'll be there when the gates open so we can take it all in.

My kid's going to try to get autographs.

I actually think there will be a healthy contingent of Royals fans there, considering how soft the market for tickets is right now.

[teedubya]

For $44 dollars, you can get decent seats to tonight's game in LA.

For the price of Sunday's SRO tix in KC... you can get seats right behind the visitors dugout in LA. LOL.

[DJJasonp]

I'll be in 307 I believe. Tix weren't bad (100). I'm traveling tomorrow morning. ...so I'm hoping to be there at least an hour before start

[Bearcat]

Ohhhhh, pick me, pick me!!

No idea how I'd decide, but you're probably 1st on the list of Chiefs tailgates crashed...

Got 4 to each game of the ALCS... $80/each for ~10th row/infield upper deck. ~$1000. :eek: But, I could always unload a couple for $200-300 each and make up most of it.

[CaliforniaChief]

Chiefs Planet invades the Rally Monkey Exhibit.

[Great Expectations]

I'd be honored to be considered. I never went to any of the games in '85. I've been to plenty of Chiefs playoff games and would like to see at least one Royals post season game in person in my lifetime.

[mr. tegu]

It would probably be cheaper to get tickets for tonight's game and fly there from KC to watch the game than it would be to get tickets for the game here on Sunday.

I really wish I would have invested in season tickets. I would be buying four extras for each game and selling them for that huge resale price.

Let's go get em!

Yep, Detroit this year has not only steamrolled us, but we've inexplicably played our worst against them.
More errors, baffling atypical gaffs, and mental lapses against them by far!

Gordon's misplay on fielding what should be a routine catch for him is a prime example of bizarre and lackluster play against the Tigers all year. Alex seriously doesn't makes that catch maybe 1 out of 10,000+ attempts.

Here's to hoping the Royals make every prognosticator eat their words, as I've yet to see anyone picking KC to take the series! Also Baltimore prevailing would be ideal if you had to pick your poison next series.

[Simplicity]

In for some crazy good baseball.

[Anyong Bluth]

I think I'd put us at about a 35% chance to win a 5-game series against the Angels. I think I'm fine with those odds. If we somehow get past the Angels, I'd put us at about 40-45% chance to win the ALCS.

Some of the numbers geeks crunched the numbers, and however the wizards do it, the Angel's likelihood of winning the series versus the Royals sits at 62.5%

So you're not that far off, and certainly much closer than I would have guessimated before reading that.

[suzzer99]

Yep, Detroit this year has not only steamrolled us, but we've inexplicably played our worst against them.
More errors, baffling atypical gaffs, and mental lapses against them by far!

Gordon's misplay on fielding what should be a routine catch for him is a prime example of bizarre and lackluster play against the Tigers all year. Alex seriously doesn't makes that catch maybe 1 out of 10,000+ attempts.

Here's to hoping the Royals make every prognosticator eat their words, as I've yet to see anyone picking KC to take the series! Also Baltimore prevailing would be ideal if you had to pick your poison next series.

This. I've never seen a team look as comfortable at the plate as the Tigers when they're playing the Royals. We need to practically no-hit them two of three times in a row to get them to start pressing and get their confidence down. Meanwhile our hitters know this and press beyond belief – even in the field.

[Great Expectations]

Some of the numbers geeks crunched the numbers, and however the wizards do it, the Angel's likelihood of winning the series versus the Royals sits at 62.5%

So you're not that far off, and certainly much closer than I would have guessimated before reading that.

I wonder what it would be if we had Duffy starting tonight putting him inline for potentially starting game 5 as well.

[Anyong Bluth]

Angels fans are extraordinarily confident. I think if we win one game, they'll be SHOCKED.

That said, there's no reason we can't steal one in Tomorrowland.

And then we conjure Kauffman Stadium Royals Devil Magic.

Which is odd for that to be the case when the teams split the season series 3-3. In all honesty, if I were a fan of theirs I'd always expect the other team wins at least one game.

Baseball just has too many variables to typically "dominate" a team game in and game out for at minimum 3 and up to as many as 5 games in a row.

Any options for those that don't get TBS and don't want to go to sports bar? I am watching the kids tonight as wife works nights. MLB will black it out since I am in KC. I had to listen to the radio on the playoff game with A's.

TBS app.

Or if you have MLB - I know how to get around local blackouts on the android app. It uses GPS not an ip trace to determine if you are in the blackout market area.

Just download the app called Fake GPS, touch a spot on the map in like say Colorado, hit set and then open your MLB and start the live tv. You can chromecast the MLB app to your tv even. I've tried it before and surprisingly it's very good. I had a crisp HD picture on my 70' through chromecast.

Otherwise, ask, I think, alnorth or if someone else can chime in on setting up a VPN as another way to get around local blackouts.

[alnorth]

I'd say that the odds we get swept are about 20%, and the odds we sweep them are about 8%.

So, 72% we play baseball on Monday.

[EPodolak]

I'm most nervous when Royals opposition are teams like the Angels and Tigers. The big bats seem to spook our pitchers inordinately. This game makes me real nervous because Vargas seems most susceptible to intimidation. Get him over that and have Ned ejected early and we'll be fine.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I'd be honored to be considered. I never went to any of the games in '85. I've been to plenty of Chiefs playoff games and would like to see at least one Royals post season game in person in my lifetime.

PLEASE pick Dartgod, Bearcat. For the gambling thread, for your tailgating experiences, and for him having to put up with my drunk ass during the wild card game. I'll owe you one...

[Crush]

I was about to ask if anyone was watching the O's and Tigers fighting it out to find out who we're facing next.

I am so in love with baseball at this point that I'm watching everything. I would rather face Detroit just to wipe the smug off Cabrera's face in the ALCS. I want another shot at them.

Their primary catcher has the same percentage of throwing guys out trying to steal 2nd as Salvy- 30%, but I don't care about the numbers, there's no one close in the AL on defense in comparison to Salvador.

[Anyong Bluth]

Didn't know MLB at Bat gives you access to 10 different live camera feeds with no commercial breaks for all the postseason games including some mix and match options to show 4 screens at once, even during any pregame stuff there are 4 uninterrupted cameras to checkout batting practice, warmups and so forth.

Kinda cool - as I'm more than happy to soak it all in even if it may be trivial otherwise.

It's the Royals true advantage.
