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

And I don't think that's him in that post anyway.

He's the only O's fan I know of on this place except for mdchiefsfan, who is cool people and would never do something like that.

$10 says it's him

Anything else?

I wish I had some rep left.

He makes a chiefs joke in the next post and his avatar is a walking dead picture. ChiefsandO'sfan has 0 posts in the Walking dead threads on this forum. It's not him.

They seem like the kind of people who avoid confrontation and try to live in their own homer world at all times. No way they come here.

This. If they could step outside of themselves and read that stuff they would be embarrassed. It's astounding really.

Aren't they getting referral traffic from CP everytime someone clicks the link in the OP? A link straight to this thread is probably coming up repeatedly in their logs. If so, it wouldn't be a surprise they know what's being said here.

The Colts did leave also. George Paul is a cripple too

That's quite the contrast. Liberals are just cooler.

-King- · 10-24-2014, 11:54 PM

One of those guys on the Giants board doesn't understand that the Royals play in Missouri though. That's pretty insulting.

I rooted for the Giants during their recent WS title runs..obviously not this year. Their fans aren't cry babies and actually understand why their team lost. Baltimore is a fly over city. Nothing there but weird accents and dirty drunk fried pork infused cry babies. You would think after seeing their beloved colts pack up and move over night it would of toughened them up...nope..only made that sand storm bigger.

What a bunch of crybabies....I had to laugh at them blasting Hosmer, Dyson and etc for celebrating on the field.

Isn't this the same town whose Ravens had a pregame display by Ray Lewis before he ran onto the field?

Someone give them a crying towel...
