Congrats on a GREAT win! I was at the game and don't mind losing to the Royals. They are a good team that plays the game how it was meant to be played and are class winners. Nothing like the '83 Phillies, '86 Mets and '05 Cards (Led at the time by Mogilla the GORILLA) cuz those teams were full of dickheads. Be PROUD and BELIEVE in your team, cuz they sure did NOT give up on themselves as MANY of you GAVE UP ON THEM. Off to KC now for a 5th and final game where ANYTHING can happen. Its the way baseball was meant to be played!

GO ASTROS!

I didn't think we had a chance, but I never thought about turning the game off, either.

I agree, that was my point... this is NOT the game to complain about people "giving up" once the Astros extended their lead, outside of maybe people turning off the game, which would be dumb if you've watched the Royals in the past couple seasons.

The Royals were, by all accounts, done at 6-2... and the worst possible thing happens, with someone who had struck out twice on 6 pitches has to come to bat again because of the bullshit knock-Gore-off-the-bag..... and he singles and walks in that inning.

Baseball is so random.

The post-season won't be the same without the Royals. Hard to imagine how MLB survived for those 30 yrs they didn't make it. I'm all torn up

lol suck it

What a ****. I hope he chokes to death on his dinner.

I am not even kidding here ... what keeps Ned Yost from using Wade Davis in game 5 like the Giants used Bumgarner last year?

Say it's top 6 ... we're up 2-1 ... and Cueto puts guys in 1st and 2nd with 1 out ...

why would Ned let Davis go until his wheels fell off? Are you telling me that badass couldn't do it? And worse case scenario ... come the 8th, Davis walks 2 guys and looks gassed ... do we suddenly not have Herrera / Madson / Duffy / Hochever available? Obviously not ideal ... but you're telling me Herrera couldn't pitch 4 innings in that spot?

I'd use Davis like the Cubs will use Arrieta in game 5. Plan on Davis pitching 9 outs ... 7, 8 and 9. No ****ing joke. That's how DOMINANT Wade Davis is. And he pitched 2 innings like it was nothing today. There is no reason that badass mother ****er couldn't get you 9 outs in an elimination game.

Show me someone that says they didn't have the Royals cooked at 6-2 with the way our AB's were looking and I'll show you a liar.

I'm not generally one to give up before the final out ... but down 4 going into the 8th? Yeah, no ****ing way I thought we had a shot. Seriously. I wouldn't have even put it at 1 %.

Hootie · 10-12-2015, 04:03 PM

...but I tell you what

I did the same thing during the WC game last year, too

Lesson learned. These Royals aren't done until the final ****ing out. Ever.

This guy loves his team so much more than us, guys. If his team was down 6-2 going into the top of the eighth with a mere 2 hits on the road, he would've kept the ROLL STROS ROLL chant going.

We are bad fans. Tex is the best fan. Be like Tex.
