Why This Loss Hurts So Much
I completely disagree with those who say we had more talent than the Royals. In fact, I think we had the least amount of talent starting the playoffs than any other team in the AL. We had an offense missing 3 starters. There isn't another team in the AL that could have done more under these conditions. The reason it hurts so bad is that we lucked into the best matchup possible and our magic ran out. I was hoping beyond hope for more magic but was cognizant of the fact that our offense wasn't going to be able to score in Detroit, Oakland or Kansas City. We need more speed. We need more obp. We need more consistency.

The most painful thing about this is that our luck got transferred to a team that wasn't much better than us. Make no mistake, had we gotten their luck, we could have won. The answer is to get better because next year, we may find ourselves facing a team with a 200-250 million cap in the playoffs.

KC didn't swing for the hills.

WE did... every. Single. Time.

It was like clockwork.

Yost did the same thing pretty much every game. Grind out a couple of runs, swap in a few pinch runners in late innings and manage the bullpen properly.

And now they're going to the WS and we aren't.

MSK

We had plenty of opportunities, especially with bases loaded, to counteract the luck the classless royals displayed. For some reason following the first game loss we seemed to choke and lose belief in ourselves - which is maddening because that belief has won us so many games this year. It is a shame we didn't get the Angels as I think they were a better matchup for us and think we would be WS bound right now, but it wasn't to be.

I don't think the royals luck can continue, and think - and hope - it will be a procession for the NL winners.

Just gutted really. Such an immense opportunity now gone. And to think a few weeks ago many were talking up a possible beltway WS, and I was certain we would be there with or without the Nats.

Oh, and on another note - if the Os had reached the WS I would have won ?500 and if they won that, it would be ?2000 - so extra gutted to get this close and throw it away

Orioles fans have managed to push their team to #2 on my least liked team list. Kittens will forever be #1

The Royals are great at trolling.

**Saul Good** · 10-24-2014, 08:45 AM

I'd like to thank them for their view from the dustpan.

-King- · 10-24-2014, 09:01 AM

Maybe if their players had more pride and passion in their play and got excited when their teammates did well they wouldn't have got their ass kicked.

WHAT THE MOTHER****?

No way Ned Yost is more hated than the kicker that shall go unnamed up in this bitch.

And LOL at you ****ers trolling the **** out of those bitch****s.

**Saul Good** · 10-24-2014, 09:10 AM

I like the tweet from their catcher who dropped the ball and allowed our only two runs to score in the clincher.

Fairplay · 10-24-2014, 09:15 AM

I want to pos rep the guy who called our bullpen the cyborgs.

Who's the CP member that's been a long time poster there? (no accounting for taste when people leave this place)
Get him to do it.

I'm pretty sure he grew up a Royals fan, too

haha

You don't get swept in the ALCS by the other team winning every game by "luck." Try not hitting .220 and maybe you'd have won. I can't believe the bullshit being spewed by them.
