Volquez and others in Royals dugout said they saw McCullers do a throat-slash gesture after he came off the mound after the sixth.

People should stop saying "give up" unless you're talking to someone who stopped watching... because there's no other way a fan can "give up."

Anyway, I'd say the Wild Card game was different... that was almost a classic KC way of losing a game, but I didn't see what I saw out of the players today.

Watch Cain, Gordon, etc; at the plate and really tell me you shrugged at 6-2 and though, yeah, they're fine... there's still time. Down 1? Sure, a pop up in that stadium can tie it.

But to string together an inning like that? Yeah, I was skeptical.

Wasn't so much a slash as much as a chop at the neck but same-same

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

You have no idea. Do some research fool. Start with an Astros seach on this forum. You might learn something.

Hootie · 10-12-2015, 04:15 PM

1.6% seems totally right

all of us had every right to go full Pete today

but the Royals, the most resilient ****ing team in baseball history, showed us once again ... they aren't done until the ump signals the 27th out

even in WS Game 7 ... they fought until the last damn pitch

Love this team.

Don't defend yourself. I am as optimistic as they come with this team and I conceded defeat. No way that should have happened.

Just goes to show you what kind of fight these core guys have. Amazing.

Yup we managed to find a governor stupider than Rick Perry and Dubya.

Yeah, you can't say a fan has given up unless they stop watching the game. You can honestly assess how terrible the team has played so far and how unlikely a win is, but by staying with the game, you are basically saying "damn, this sucks, but there's still a chance, I guess".

It was meant to be. Only a couple of resident dipshits took it someplace else and I followed.

even our boy alnorth said, "well, I guess I won't be taking any more vacation time to watch baseball this year."

We all did it

And it was justified. 1.6%

We just forgot one important thing...

These Royals. Devil magic. Ned Yost. October.

Shit. That's 4 things.
