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


You're goddamn right.

Fun game.  Royals rally from down 7-3 in the 8th.

Going to extras.

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.

The Royals outfield D is sick.  Cain and Aoki putting on a show with the glove.

Its been a long road to hero for Moos.
Not sure if this is real or if I died and am living my wildest fantasies.  Listening to Denny Matthews call Royals playoff action constitutes a strange and beautiful full-circle in my life.

This team.  Have a ticket for Monday.  Doesn't look like I'll get to use it now.

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)

Down 4 in the Bottom of the 8th of the Wild Card game to 6 playoff wins in a row, 1 away from tying the record in the Wild Card era.

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.

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.

Madison Bumgarner is really good.

God help us if he goes in Game 7.

We were in it right up to the final out.  Nothing to be ashamed of with this season.

2015 Kansas City Royals Thread: So far they are the best in the American League. I actually started this thread on the old board in 2009 and literally thought a1 would shut down before they actually got good. Glad to see that better days have arrived.

Royals in the World Series!!! I actually remember on the old A1 when the Mets were last in the World Series in 2000 and the fans on here were jawing with the Yankees fans. A little bit more activity on here back then  8)
