Also, how great is it that the city of Baltimore looks at us the way Hezbollah looks at Isreal?

BAHAHAHHAHAHAA. **** off, chumps!!!!!!!

Also, I take back anything negative I ever posted about Q. He's the ****ing man!!!!!!!!

.Found her at 23:58

I’ve used so many work days and holiday days, I’m down to nothing for the year, but **** it if we get to the ALCS, I’m in. Gotta get busy on my paper mache Escape from Alcatraz version of myself…. Just gimme a week or so….

Dislike the Yankees.

Anyone know when ALCS tickets will be available? Wasn’t sure if they’d be a round early as well. Got my seats for 3/4 against the Yankees can’t ****ing wait.

Thanks guys

17:38 game 1 at Yankee Stadium. Can’t be a coincidence.

Woah. Didn't see that coming. Figured Tito was donezo after all the health problems he's had in recent years. Great hire by the Reds.

That's fairly shocking. Cleveland fans are going to be floored at that one.

This to both.

God I love Vinnie...

Crushing Taco Bell at 3am after advancing to the ALDS...

I went to kcroyals.com, on their ticket site and signed up for text alerts so hopefully I'll know that way

I have never been to playoff baseball. I will be there loud and proud Wednesday!

It's incredibly fun. I went to Game 4 of the ALCS in 2014 and Game 1 of the World Series in 2015. The vibe in the stadium is so infectious and it's completely different than being in Arrowhead for playoff football. I don't know why it's different but it just is.

Have a great time!

Got tickets to Game 4! can. not. wait.

WHAT A HELLUVA SEASON, ROYALS GDT CREW!

...IT AIN'T OVER YET, THOUGH!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GY7lH_qW...jpg&name=large

CMH needs to post the GDT for tomorrow though.

https://y.yarn.co/2a2c70b5-d95c-438d...7d3c9_text.gif

3 of my absolute favorite posters (in game day threads)!!!

Let’s Go Royals!!!!

Does this mean he also needs to wear women’s lingerie?

I just called out Whitlock on Faceyspace.

"I'm not a sports writer, or even any sort of professional writer at all. But it's a Friday in early October and if I was a freelance kind of person, I'd be all over Bobby Witt Jr., the Kansas City Royals, and "An Unlikely Championship" sort of article. Mix in a little 4-0 KC Chiefs pushing for the 3-peat reference. KC, the capital of flyover country dominating Baltimore, MA in sports, a city where a stun gun is considered a lethal weapon.

Where are my shotgun bearing columnists, Jason Whitlock?"

Sucks that you won't be able to use them when we sweep.

Whatever it takes

He's not wrong.

Ha! Couldn't have done it without everyone here! And a big tip of the cap to cmh and AndChiefs for getting us through the end. But it ain't over gang! Eleven more to go!!!

By the way... Surprised this didn't get more play...

I can't be the only one who finds this hilarious...

Vinnie and some teammates destroying 200 bucks worth of Taco Bell after sweeping the Orioles? C'mon! That's ****ing fantastic!

Has the game threat rotation been set yet. Gotta set the top 3 in the lineup before hand

1. cmh
2. Gabby
3. lew

How is this going?

cmh has to get Game 1. Steady force.

Just don’t **** with the rep thread.

ya know... i wouldn't even be mad.

October baseball is so damn special. To be relished always.

It’s a beautiful sight.

Can’t thank the Royals enough for this season. They carried us all the way to the Chiefs bye week (at least).

Incredible.

Former royal related

So who's got tomorrow's GDT? Lewdog?

You’re up until we take another L.

That Terry Cashman dude really beat the baseball horse to death with that melody. If memory serves, the original song was just a simple little diddy about baseball and it's overall history. Then I think he ended up doing a version for every team? Something like that...

And I'm almost positive "You've got a hit on your hands!" was the slogan from the 1985 season. Pretty sure "Go for the action" was 1982? And things got really slick in 1983 when it was "Turn on the action". I think 1984 was "Something Special in the Air". Always liked that one. 1986 had "The Thrill of it All!" But things started to get pretty bad though in the 90's leading to one of the worst, albeit memorable slogans: "You've gotta love these guys!" Not the best time for our pr/marketing crew.

I could go on and on blathering about this crap, but I won't.

77 was “We’re Riding The Big Blue Bus” might still have the bumper sticker.

78 was Catch Royalmania.

76 I’d have to ask Denny.

2014 was “Be Royal”. They showed that commercial at halftime of the Super Bowl locally.

And after Justin Maxwell closed the 13 season with that grand slam, I was pumped.

The Thrill of it all...Royals Baseball!!

This sticks in my head the most because it was the first season I paid full attention to damn near every pitch.

Go on….cause this is not boring to me.

All I can hear is the Simpson parody that Terry Cashman did for the softball episode

And wasn't "Be Royal" kinda riding on the coattails of that Lorde song popular at that time? I lived in NYC in 2014, but I distinctly remember more than one person bringing up the Royals simply due to Lorde, which I thought was damn peculiar, but hey, Royals. That's cool, even if it's because she saw a National Geographic magazine and got inspired...

This is really gonna rack my brain, but as I'm remembering them, there's so many that are just so bad and totally unmemorable!

For some reason, "Royals Fever! Catch it!" rings a bell, but I might be making that one up. I think 1988 might've been "Get in the Swing of it!". "Catch the Thrill" always made me laugh because the PR dept was clearly out of ideas at this point, and things started to get really bad. "It's Here!", "Catch All the Action!"... ****ing seriously guys? "This is Hardball!", yeah, hard to ****ing win... "KC Royals, Your Hometown Team!" Wasn't 2003 "We Believe!"?

Oh yeah... Just remembered this early aughts gem... "True. Blue. Tradition", and the next year was "New. Blue. Tradition". HAHAHAHA, ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?

"Our Time" stuck with me. That was when we brought up all those top prospects, Hosmer, Moose, Salvy, etc...

"Raised Royal" and "Forever Royal" are simple, but pretty good. I'm missing a lot, but those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head...

The thing that really separates the slogans now from the 70'/80's/early 90's was they used to come up with actual melodies to go with the slogan, as "You've Got a Hit on Your Hands" clearly illustrates in the above video. I can still remember all those little songs in my head... there's gotta be a way to find some old Royals commercials that include the song/slogan for each year... Go, go, go, go for the action! I can still remember that shit clearly...

That field ****s! So beautiful

Agreed and won't be till the alcs

I definitely remember the songs for "You've Got a Hit On Your Hands" and "The Thrill of It All" since those years were probably my peak childhood fandom. I also remember the logo for the Thrill of It All season because it was plastered on hundreds of plastic cups that my friends and I would collect at home games for god knows what reason. I'm not going to be able to get those songs out of my head tonight!

My brother checked am old scorecard and said the 1976 season was “Star Spangled Summer”.

Makes sense since it was the USA Bicentennial.

Wtf there are tickets still available from the kc royals for thursday...

Rolled the dice on ALCS home game 3 since it’s the only Saturday chance if it’s Cleveland. I’d be screwed on weekdays anyway. Believe my journey will have to stop there or I’ll need a Wolf costume to go forward. Little pricey.

"Get in the Swing of It" ?

WTF would you say we'll lose in the ALCS?!?







;)

Good season men.

Good season. Won the wild card series. All I asked for when making playoff

Sent from my SM-S916U1 using Tapatalk

Proud of this team. Enjoyed it, boys!

Better go out and get some players that can hit the ****ing ball. I'm betting Sherman will open up the check book this off-season. At least I hope.

Hell of a ride, gents. Hell of a ride.

Royals are going to be an attractive team for some players in this offseason. Pitchers have to see what the team has done for Lugo, Ragans, and Wacha. Young stud Witt to build around.

Who else got neg rep from Ute? ROFL I would be enjoying the victory, not confirming the alleged bitch status so readily.

Great season and may next season be even better!!

He's a flaming little bitch. Typical insecure pussy ass Yankme fan. Hope those twats get swept and Judge blows out his colon.

Although the offense in the ALDS was a bitter pill to swallow, the fact the Royals not only made it to the playoffs but won their Wild Card series made for a fun climax to a good season.

Until next year, gents.

They got me bought back in for the years to come and I was sure as hell on the way out after last year. I don’t care to follow the offseason much at all but I know our local diehards will keep us all abreast. On to better things and **** the yanks

My hope for the future is that making the playoffs isn’t a rarity for Witt’s Royals.

I don’t expect the Royals to make it every year, but we also shouldn’t have to wait a decade or three between postseasons.

The sooner he can get back and kick the door down, the better. I really don’t want the stigma from this to stick with him.

This was a great season. The ending sucked. But I feel a little like I did after the Chiefs lost to the Patriots in '18. It was a bitter conclusion to a hated enemy but I had a sense that it would be a learning experience and springboard for the next season.

I hope he doesn’t beat himself up too bad but I expect to see him back better than ever next year

MVP type shit again with a swagger knowing he is the best in MLB

Yankees fans are ****s. All of them.

GREAT season overall. HUGE turnaround.

A lot of positives and things to build on for next year.

It will fun to see what they do this offseason (*cough* Sherman, spend more money! *cough*)

Window is wide open for the next couple years. Need to add some bats and take advantage of it!

If I remember correctly, he took his defensive struggles a couple years ago personally and used it to become one of the best defensive shortstops in baseball.

I actually hopes he takes it very personal. I hope it burns in him, because he’s the type of competitor to get better from this.

He has the Mahomes pettiness in him, despite seeming like a good dude.

Now back to the down town stadium talk? Where is KK when we need him. lol.

LMAO

Yankee fans.. what ya gonna do?

I think they will. Sherman seems to be the type that knows what needs to be done. Self made guys are good for that.

Hopefully.

I’d like to see them make a BIG move.

Cody Belliinger is a perfect fit for this team for a LOT of reasons. Solid defender. LH hitting outfield bat with some power. Would slide in REALLY nicely in our lineup. That’s my dream add.

Also, Brandon Drury is a FA and had an awful season right before hitting the market. This dude will be open to a one year prove it deal and then go FA again. Great candidate for a big bounce back year! Will likely be cheap too.

And tben Cags will likely be up at some point next season. That lineup could look pretty scary by the ASB next season!

Hope they’re aggressive in FA this winter!

Great season, had a lot of fun enjoying with you all

Great Season, need 2-3 more solid bats and a solid closer!
