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

They're obsessed with that. It's bizarre.

9. "O!" Say Does That Star-Spangled Banner Yet Wave: I'm not sure when and how the tradition of shouting "O!" in the middle of the national anthem began, but it has become more than just for the Orioles. It's part of our local culture, and can be heard at Ravens games, Capitals games, and even, strangely enough, at some Nationals games. If you watched the Grand Prix that took place in Baltimore last year, you may have heard the "O!" during the national anthem then as well. It's a local battle cry.

What bastards.

Heh, mine's better. And it's just a ****ing preclude from what I'm gonna drop on their bitch asses over at the O's forum as soon as this series is over. It'll be an instant ban. Oh, the horrors!

There are plenty of OH posters who, like me, didn't see anything the Royals did as unsportsmanlike or lucky*. I'll grant that they're in the minority to the whiny bitches, though. Maybe I'm a little more familiar with KC's style due to being here; I wasn't shocked or anything, like some of those other guys seemed to be. It was domination in all phases of the game and there's just no other way to characterize it.

Hey, I've moved on. I recommend it.

*But of course, it's no fun to read what they have to say.

Does your skin crawl and balls shrivel when you post there?

Like how we all need penicillin after posting here?

ChiefsOsFan dug his own grave by talking shit on the Royals, just like MotherJones. You really can't recover from it. Os fan kept bringing up the Myers trade- his mouth wrote checks his board handle couldn't cash.

If I were a Bears fan I wouldn't go to the Bears board and light into the White Sox or talk shit on them. Os fan has to suffer at the hands of the same trade he once mocked

Not many here would have given him a hard time over the Royals beating Baltimore's ass as long as he just moved on and said "nice series - congrats". That's all.

And to be honest, I thought he was a good member here. I ****ing hate Twitter but I see how it can be useful when it comes to news.

Perhaps he was, but bringing up the latest on Wil Myers last season wasn't very friendly on a KC Royals thread....no?
