Did they not watch any of the Giants' championships from 2010-2014? They play the exact same way we do.

There's more than one way to skin a cat in the postseason, but there IS a particular style of play that will generally lead to greater postseason success than others.

We've got it. The Mets with their shitty ass ****ing defense do not have it.

Mets fans are boisterous butt****s. I had so many of them taking shit on Facebook today defending that piece of shit ASSGAARD that I stopped responding.

Funny how none of them say a thing after getting their asses whipped.

And BTW, Mets fans, if you're reading this, ASSGAARD isn't special. Maybe a 9-7 record with an ERA of 3.47 is special to you morons but he's not Tom Glavine or Roger Clemons.

And I hope the "Dark Knight" has the Batmobile driven up his ass.

The funny thing is half of our game threads are complaining about the FOX announcers. Then you look at the Blue Jays and Mets forums and it's even worse. They're going nuts over how much Buck and Reynolds are homering it up for the Royals. It's always funny to me how that works.

Perfect example of cognitive bias. The positive talk when the Royals is largely ignored because you already believe they're good and the talking heads aren't telling you anything new. But when it's on the other team, it's not the same shit you've always heard, so it seems to register a lot of more - particularly if it's over-the-top a bit and annoying.

I read the Blue Jays meltdown after game 2 and several times there were posts that were just "Royals baseball".... so yeah, other fans get tired of hearing about how the Royals are such a great contact hitting team, never strike out, are so relentless, etc.

What's even stranger is that opposing team's fans are unwilling to believe it.

I've told several of my Mets friends about the Royals and their answer is always "They haven't faced OUR pitchers".



When did a guy that goes 9-7 with a 3.47 ERA become Sandy Koufax?

Exactly.

The Orioles said, "The Royals have a great bullpen, but it's no match for our hitters. They can't compete with us in any way at all."

Same shit with the Blue Jays. It's hilarious to see that the Blue Jays fans actually believed dynamically changing the makeup of the best players on your team at the trade deadline meant you were "destined" for a World Series. It's hilarious to watch them stew and pout like we ate all their ****ing Halloween candy.

And the Mets fans are doing the same ****ing shit.

Man, I look back fondly on the days when the Astros fans humbly acknowledged that the series could go either way, and if the Astros didn't pull it off, it's because they weren't the best team in that series.

These assholes are simply ****ing incapable of acknowledging that there MIGHT be a better baseball team out there than their piece of shit no-defense ****faced team of shitasses.

Great threads going over there

tomorrow is for pretending we're still in it, tonight is for calling Cespedes a f agget

[jjjayb]

I love the Jay's forum thread. They're talking about how boring Royals baseball is, because real baseball is hitting homeruns. A bunch of base hits and great running to score is boring to them.

[RealSNR]

Shit like this, too, cracks me up

Its not going to last long because we're winning 3 straight.

And in one of them we'll take down the vaunted KC bullpen.

Dreams are nice and all, but eventually you have to stop having sex with Mila Kunis so you can wake up, get out of bed, and go back to ****ing work.

Top thread right now: I want to die.

Like, was there a single person on this board that said, "The Colts weren't better than us!" after we got fist****ed in 2013?

This is how you turn into petegz28. By refusing to accept reality as the true decider of events.

Sounds like a "new" fan to me. Either that or a flaming dipshit.

Probably both.

The other thing that pisses me off about the Mets "fans" is that the Royals are "lucky" when they win. You know, because the Mets and their limp dick offense and defense are so scary that their urine cures cancer.

I've been a fan of the Royals since inception and I can't recall ever blaming a Royals loss on anyone other than a Royals player, coach or manager. I've been openly critical of Ned on Facebook and Twitter and have openly stated that I didn't like the Cueto trade.

At the end of the day, losses fall squarely on the shoulders of the Royals. Not the umps, not the the other team's "luck" and not the media.

When the Royals lose, it's pretty easy to figure out why.

Last time I blamed the opposition 'cheating' was how mad I got as a kid when I was certain Pete Rose threw his knee into the strike zone to take a HBP in the WS. That's been a while though, . . . and I was a kid.

It was the same thing with the Jays, same thing with the Orioles. Somehow, the only way we get through these games is by dumb luck. As if to say hitting singles, putting the ball in play, and putting pressure on your defense requires no skill. If Mets fans want something to blame, blame the team that lost the game. Blame Cespedes for the 2 huge mistakes he's made so far this series. Blame your shitty defensive infield. If your team is able to make these mistakes in high pressure moments, by definition, you are the worse of the 2 teams. Plain and simple. How people like this can possibly attribute them losing to us being more lucky is beyond me.
