I'm sure everyone thought that was ****ed up.

We've opened the can of worms with replay in baseball. I still generally like it and think it's a great tool; but that picky bullshit isn't what it should be about.

I think many here have been Chiefs fans so long that we are full of doubt. The other side of that lot is nothing like these Royals. These guy have lion hearts and never give in till the final out is recorded. Do you think anyone in that dugout said game over after the lower half of the 7th. Heck I have seen in CP GDT game over calls after 1st inning and a run is recorded against us.

Well, yeah.

We've been conditioned to just accept that sports are pain, and that good things don't ever happen for our teams. Because Chiefs.

The Royals have players that feature both dick and balls. And they're just awesome to watch.

Has anyone seen definite proof of the McCullers throat stab? I have rewatched the 7th till the end and didn't see a anything. Some still in this thread showed his hand up on his neck but looked more like scratching.

It was at the end of the inning as he was walking off the mound... either 6th or 7th.

Nobody thought the Royals were going to win. Despair wasn't stupid. What was stupid was blaming the situation on players and Yost not giving a shit, being fat and happy, entitled, etc. That's just idiotic. This team plays with more passion and joy than any team I've ever followed. If they lose, they lose.

I thought it was after the sixth. Was it the seventh?

**srvy** · 10-13-2015, 10:05 AM

Also when did this alleged bench ripping by moose occur. It supposedly was so awesome it fired the whole bench up. But watching after 7th the camera panned to our bench and moose was sitting as always and some guys were standing hanging over the railing focused on game.

Your right after the 6th I will go back and watch it a bit. I thought he started the seventh gave a hit and was pulled. Memory is fadeing.

I mentioned this earlier, but I'll excuse this sort of thing in the heat of the moment or right after the loss. Some fans just do that to cope, and there's nothing anyone can do to discourage it.

The next day though, after everyone has cooled off and sobered up, the post-mortem of the season should be more reasonable. (unless it is the very, very rare case where a player or team actually did not care or did give up, in which case you need a hell of a lot of proof, and it should be a really huge story in the national media)

I'd like to have the royals radio calls for the 7th. If anybody has them I'd appreciate a file.

**DeezNutz** · 10-13-2015, 10:29 AM

Saw the throat slash in real time, but didn't think too much of it. That kind of shit just doesn't bother me.

Don't want pitchers making that kind of gesture? Well, then ****ing kick their asses in the first place. It's the same logic about "running up the score" in football. **** that. Stop them, but don't whine because you cannot.
