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.

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

I suppose not, but personally I didn't give a damn really.

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.

That site is full of whiny bitches.

Ok guys. I'm awaiting registration there. The username is confidential at the moment but I'll give it to you after you author an award winning post. I think this is a job for SNR or Hootie.

Fellas? A little help. Of course I'll be glad to give you some help.

[RealSNR]

Go with the classic.

JFC. Every time you think they can't get any worse, they manage to find a way to get worse.

Get the **** over it. You got SWEPT.

[lcarus]

They are calling Royals fans and players classless (from what...I don't know) and yet they're the fairies complaining and calling the Royals lucky after getting GOD DAMN SWEPT. And I guess because Jovan Belcher murdered his woman all Chiefs FANS are probably garbage people. What a straight line of bullshit logic if I've ever heard one. At least Belcher felt bad enough to end his own life. RAY ****ING LEWIS murdered someone, got away with it, and continues to eat steaks in his mansion as a football hero. Not to mention I guess all Baltimore fans go Soda Popinski on their wives in elevators. Because ya know...Ray Rice did it. I know they're mad that Helen Keller eating a Cheesy Gordita Crunch without getting beef on her shirt was more likely to happen than the Orioles beating KC, but it shouldn't lower your IQ this much.

It's the weirdest fan reaction I have ever seen.

Someone needs to post this over there.

What in the **** is this shit?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Wow. What a bunch of crybabies. I hope someone checks on the safety of Ed Reed's family. I'd hate to see another Reed drown in all of those O's fan's tears!

It really is. Not to mention, ChiefsandO's guy, who was here a long while and seemed like a laid back dude, committed internet identity suicide after the sweep. Someone needs to put an APB out on that guy. His internet identity committed Harry Caray and he might still be at home, in front of his tv that has Game 4 on repeat, dead from drinking a can of Juicy Juice full of AIDS and FIRE.

That has to be an all women board. I've never seen so many bruised vaginas in one place at the same time! And talk about not having any class...bringing up Belcher to compare to the Royals and their fans!

[SCTrojan]

I live in DC and went up to Camden Yards the first couple of years we were here to watch the Royals. That was back in the 05-07 years when the Royals were particularly horrible. And their fans were rude, obnoxious and profane.

Once, my wife took the kids to a game without me, and some guys actually followed them out to the car after the game, shouting at them the whole time. As I recall, that was a meaningless game in September when both teams were a million games under .500.

I've never experienced anything like that at an opposing ballpark, and we've gone to games all over the east coast. Most fans treat us like an anomaly - "Wow, there are actually Royals fans?" But in the few times I've gone to Camden Yards, they were a pretty brutal bunch. Won't set foot in that place again.
