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

Anyone, Chiefs and O's fan? Did he get a 51/50? Should we do a wellness check?

"KC players did not act professional in my opinion during the series. There were a number of times they showed the players in the dugout laughing. What were they laughing about? It seemed to happen after they made a great play to rob one of our hitters. That's funny? I think they wanted the Orioles to think nothing they did would beat them and if that was their motto it worked. The people watching on TV saw it as well as the broadcasters. Their manager should have stopped it or one of their coaches should have. Little League players don't do that during games."

What a bunch of delicious little ****s.

That has to be a troll post. Please tell me it is. Please tell me that no one is stupid enough to really be mad players are happy and laughing after making great plays.

What a joke! Do they not realize that their manager is one of those classless neanderthals who still thinks beaning batters is a legitimate way to "police" the game? I remember one game against the Angels when he was managing the Rangers where he had his starting pitcher throw directly at Vlad's head as hard as he could. It's especially pussified in the AL where the pitchers don't bat so they don't have to risk getting beaned themselves.

Oh they know. They were screaming for it every game after game 1.

The Orioles lost to the better team. At least better over those four games. That said, I never understood the desire to go to another teams message board and troll. What kind of jollies do you gain from pissing off their fans? Is getting banned a badge of honor? Maybe I'm just old.

Them being upset is no different than all the bitching that goes on in CP when the Chiefs lose. Roles reversed, CP would be the same way they are now.

They didn't like Hosmer's shrug after he got hit by a pitch?

He got hit by a mother****ing pitch. As far as I'm concerned, he has the right to take his pants off, run over to the pitcher's mound, and teabag that asshole for a good 5 minutes.

He got hit with a mother****ing baseball. I'd be mother****ing pissed, and since he's used to it, he's just converting it to competitive energy, which is a far more useful diversion.
