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.

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

What's weird is it's not like the Orioles take a New England Patriots like approach to things. They had the three Cy Young jerseys crossed out in the locker room when they beat Detroit. They're no different than anyone else.

There's not enough Vagisil on this Planet to help those ****ers out

[Hootie]

and it's not like the Orioles have a ton of home grown guys on their roster

they tried buying a World Series this year...they spent like 5 draft picks on buying guys like Cruz, Ubaldo and a few other guys

and then they have the audacity to say "moose is juiced up" when a guy who hit 50 bombs from them last year was caught cheating and lost his postseason because of it in Chris Davis

that team is a joke, and apparently, their fans are even a bigger joke

and THANKFULLY, that was probably their last hurrah...cuz the Yankees and Sox will always own that division

so **** you, bitter O's fans

I'll be forever happy to bask in your misery

[Hootie]

the Twitter bitch who has PWNED himself again and again and again on this site hasn't even logged into CP 1 time since the O's lost 1 game against KC

...he represents O's fans amazingly well

all pussy ass little bitch boys

[Hootie]

all the while, he lurks on this site and warns their site when Gonzo makes a fake name to troll them

he's a tool, and I'm so glad our team RAPED the **** out of that whiny ass bitch of an Orioles team

I keep forgetting who we played in the ALCS. It was like a blur. 1-2-3-4 see ya O's. Come back when you're Royal.

I'm pretty sure we would've swept the O's in a 14 game series

Some Ravens fans made it Madame Dearie.

[Katipan]

The lack of capital letters made it seem extra aggressive, huh.

But, whew.

You should take him for a long walk on a short pier. Tying an anvil to him would also be a nice touch.
