3-13 and lost 11 in a row now.

I feel like this team isn't as bad as their record. It seems like they have been a tad unlucky with RISP.  By no means are they a good team, but I have seen far worse Royals teams in my years of suffering.

They've managed to get 3 wins in a row and aren't the worst team in the division!  6-14 vs the Twins 5-15 record.

I bet they still win this opening series. That's how the Sox work. Win opening day, lose the series. Especially since it's the Royals.

A friend is at the Royals game right now.  In the middle of the 8th, when the teams were switching, they started playing Fandango's theme.

They got swept by the Yankees. They still had a nice offseason and can maybe win the always mediocre AL Central.
Title: Re: 2011 Kansas City Royals Thread
Post by: glacier890 on May 19, 2013, 10:59:00 PM
They are falling fast and will probably end up with 74 wins.  This year is extra special in KC because it's the tenth year anniversary of the historic 2003 team which was the only Royals team to go over .500 over a full season in the last 20 years. I feel like this year and next year there is a small window to go finish over .500 before Shields leaves and we have to go back into rebuilding mode.

We're 16-4 since the ASG!  We're gonna win everything!


But seriously, this has been a fun season.  They went 9-1 and only gained 1 game on the wildcard spot because Detroit and Cleveland went 9-1 and 8-2 in the same period.  Most Royals thing ever.

Royals still hanging around in the WC Chase.  3 games back of the Rays and Rangers with the Indians and Orioles ahead of them, as well.
 
KC needs to sweep the Rangers at home this weekend to be a serious contender heading into the final week of the season. 
Title: Re: 2011 Kansas City Royals Thread

They made it to the final week of the season before being officially eliminated.  Think they said it was the best season since 89.

9 wins in a row and 1st place in the AL Central.  First time since 1980 that they've been in first place after 70 games.  Not gonna get my hopes up, but this is so much fun.

Royals lead the Mariners for the 2nd Wild Card by 2 games with 6 to play.  Royals trail the Tigers by a game in the Central and Oakland by a game for the 1st Wild Card.

The 2014 KC Royals are playoff bound.  First time since 1985. 

Royals lead the A's for the first Wild Card by 1 game.  1 more win or A's loss will guarantee the Royals a home playoff game. 

Royals trail the Tigers by 1 game for the AL Central lead.

Best baseball game I've seen since the 2007 National League Wildcard tie-breaker.

Dayton Moore used to be a four letter word in K.C.  Good on him, and good on Ned!

Starting to think trading Wil Myers was worth it just for Wade Davis.  Crazy.

Its been a long road to hero for Moos.

Top of the 5th. Royals winning 7-2.  Billy Butler stole a base.  Nothing in this world makes sense anymore.

Speaking of the world not making sense, wasn't able to get ALCS tickets.  Fine, it's okay watching it on tv(even if the TBS announcers are terrible).  Was more disappointed that my mom, who was a die-hard during the 90's and 00's, couldn't go.


So yesterday I ended up winning tickets to games 3, 4 and 5.  Fuck yeah.   8)

One of the Royals players wore a "These O's Ain't Royal" shirt after Game 3. He got shit for it, but it was hilarious.

Congrats to KC, every baseball fan outside of San Fran and St. Louis should be pulling for them, even if their owner is so rich and evil he can hire the Steinbrenners to be his servants.

So, is KC any good this year? I haven't been following.
Title: Re: 2011 Kansas City Royals Thread
Post by: SouthpawJosh on October 18, 2014, 05:30:17 PM
There was a discussion on sports radio about the Giants having an advantage due to the DH rule. In KC, they get to add power-hitting Michael Morse to their lineup, while the Royals have the same lineup they have had all year. Then in SF, the Royals will lose their cleanup hitter Billy Butler.

Somehow, I still feel the Royals will be okay and hold their own.
