Orioles fan here. I have to share this story. (self.KCRoyals)

First off, congrats. You guys are a really scrappy team and it's making this a heck of a series. I wish a few things would have gone our way, but hey, that's baseball.

I wanted to share something I saw during the Royals BP. My friends and I had went early, we watched you guys warm up. We stood in the left field seats and judged balls getting hit towards us--pretty fun to do if you've never done it. Anyways, there were a few KC players near the wall shagging fly balls, doing normal stuff. But then they started tossing a few balls to some of the little kids with gloves. They encouraged them to toss it back and thus a game of catch began between little kids (decked out in O's gear) and KC players. This went on for a good twenty minutes. There was one in particular--Scott Downs--that was having a lot of fun with it.

These little kids ate it up. Playing catch with MLB players, man, what a memory. They treated those kids so well, and none of them had any KC gear on. I turned to my buddy and said "you know, it's really hard to hate this team." And that's the truth. That was really cool, something I've never seen.

Anyways, just had to share it. Good luck, and know that if we don't pull off some miracles I'm rooting for KC in the WS.

I don't know how you can knock a kid being excited about playing catch with a major league ballplayer who's on a roster in the ALCS.

Before you tell others to adjust their thick skin meter perhaps you need to adjust your humor meter.

It's broke.

You might want to have them adjust your cock sucker meter too.

It appears at the rate you're going you're going to "blow" soon.

There are going to be old men crying in the stands.

Old men who saw things 30 years ago seeing them again.

God damn it's going to be poetry.

THIS is what sports is about.

bsroyals sucks, but we keep winning. Hopefully no in-fighting in this thread either. Also, if we get to 2 or 3 innings and then the game is cancelled do they start over in the playoffs or is the game resumed from the point where it was delayed?
