Paging Dog.. the countdown has begun..
And Bubba it was very kind of you to not mention someone striking out with the bases loaded in the eight..

And the beatings continue...
Royals give up more home runs than anybody; our specialty is our starters doing so in the first inning. Invariably the royals starts will serve up a fast ball down the middle, or they'll float a curve that hangs which is why we're seeing so many dingers.
Hitting is spotty so lots of LOB lately. The defense is still there but today the Rangers are beating us with bunts and homers...
Hope Royals can get some help pitching, or our season looks bleak...

Seriously...with what? Your closer is on the 15 day with elbow issues and I don't see any team wanting to help y'all get rid of Ian Kennedy
Add that Cleveland just got the other Yankee reliever and you guys ain't gonna catch them
If they had got Lucroy then they would be throwing dirt on your coffin
Y'all are late to the table and from what I hear, your owners are tapped out and pitching can get real expensive this time of year
After y'all went all in last year and sent half your farm system's arms to the Reds etal for the rentals-- all you have left is the shallow end of the pool

But.....but.....but.....They won the WS. Some organizations are happy with a one year wonder. The Flubs are busy trying to do the same this year.
The Royals are done. Anyone who thinks other wise spends too much time on a glass Dick.

Over when everyone jumped off. Looks to be a total loss. They couldn't go a few hours between posts last year. This year.......they have slowly faded away. It's what New Money does

I didn't click on the article once I saw the liberal shitbag "newspaper" who wrote it. You might as well asked the DNC who they like to see play baseball. Probably another Deadspin author who moonlights at the Usatrash paper. See yall in 30 years

What a game!!! A 14-inng dandy with the Royals winning!
'Twas a warm one early but the temp cooled off eventually.
I didn't drive 400+ miles to sit in the cheap seats. I popped for the best seats in the park and we had a great time. 9 rows back, just off home plate toward the Royals dugout. We were so close we could see the players just as one would on TV. That was really special!
It's eerie to see the stadium tonight on the tube after having been there 24 hours ago. Ian Kennedy pitched his best game all year! Go Royals!!!

Thanks for the pep talk. Maybe you can give one to all your fans to fill up the bandwagon. It should only take new money about 300 years give or take an extra decade to catch old money.......and that's only if the team goes under today.......so keep your chin up too Princess. One day your great great great grandkids can celebrate championships using more than one hand to help them count.

I applaud your allegiance to your team....I really do - but also will point out you should consider cleaning your foggy glasses. Here is why;
You are correct about a growing fan base in "HomeofToto" City in the last three years....hence "new money". I don't think the same following was seen in 84-85 but after a number of bad seasons following that the following sure tapered off. Time will tell what happens in the next couple years but to be honest it really doesn't make two forks to me what happens....I grew up watching games with mr grandmother who was a true fan which drew me into being a fan....starting in like 74 or 75.
With that being said, the difference in the Royals and the Cardinals is this. The Cardinals organization is 100 whatever years old.....the Royals were established in the late 60's.
Since the Royals were established they have won 2 World Series- 85 and 2015. Yes, 30 years between the two. They also came close another time but finishing second is really just being the first loser.
In the same time period, the Cardinals have won 3 World Series.....a whopping one more. There was also a 24 or 25 year gap between two of them if I am not mistaken.
So.....apples to apples the Cards have one more WS series championship than the Royals do....what a forkin Dynasty, huh?
And then we have the infamous 85 WS.....how many times have we heard about Dekinger and "the call" that cost the Cards from having 4 WS and the Royals only 1 in the same time period since the Royals were established.....well, the call sure was botched...but IF the Cards would not have made 3 errors in the same inning that call happened which also led to them losing that game.....and then not lost game 7 the next day 11-0 things would be different. But it happened the way it happened.
In the end, I will still be supporting the Royals whether they are playing at the top of the standings or the bottom of the standings.....just the same as you will be supporting the Cards just the same I am sure.
I think you can agree on this....the face of baseball has and will continue to change in comparison to "old school" baseball. The game is still played between the foul lines but big business mentality and player salaries and agents is quickly turning a checker game into a chess match.
Happy Sunday!

The Cards have been around since 1900. That's 116 years of baseball. In that time they have won 11 championships. That's one about every 11 seasons. They have also been there 19 times. That's a trip on ever age every 6 years.
Sure the Royals have won 1.5 titles since 1985 while old money has won 3.......the difference between them is the Cardinals have been to 7. They have also been to the playoffs 16 times in 35 years, going back to 1982, and 12 of the last 16 seasons have been playoff runs........while the royals have had 3 playoff teams in 32 years. Since we are comparing apples to apples

Royals are today closing in on their 3rd series win in a row. 7-1 in the 4th...
Like you dabs,I watch all the time, regardless of outcome. I played baseball, catching full time for 4 years in high school. Pony League prior to that. So I loved and played the game for years, also men's softball as I got older.
I think KC is a great team regardless if
they win the pennant or not!

Congrats
Not over but y'all got 45 games left and you are in 3rd place and 11 back in your division
But the reality is you are behind the Orioles,Red Sox,Yankees,Tigers,Mariners and Astros for a WC slot
Not trying to rain on your parade but The American League East is probably where the WC teams will come from--- not the Central
National league--Cards are 13 back but are in position for a WC slot--as goofy as the WC concept is

Dog can pontificate all he wants about the mighty, all-everything Cards and run down other teams by doing his best Trump impersonation but the fact remains that fans are fans. We'll never jump off the bandwagon so give it up.
