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

You can call it destiny but I wouldn't call it luck.
You don't win 8 straight playoff games by luck. These Orioles fans are delusional.

A power hitting upgrade at the DH and a starting pitcher or two would make this team very, very deadly.

The Orioles swept the Tigers and I was overjoyed not have to play the Tigers.

What I find funny is that they keep talking about the Royals' shortcomings in during the regular season. Why would that matter in post season?

What I find funny is the "it's not fair!" Comments.

That is just unbelievable. It's ****ing sports. It is BY DESIGN not fair.

Thus, they have to be sister****ers. There is no other way.

As snakebitten as this Chiefs fanbase is, I don't recall seeing one person say "NO FAIR! WAH!" after we blew a 24 point lead in a second half that had most of us basically celebrating our first playoff win in 2 decades. What a bunch of ingrown pussy hairs.

I lost a lot of respect for orioles fans after reading that message board the last week. They where asking for pitchers to hit our players and hoping Gordon broke his arm when he hit the wall lastnight. I have been reading that board for the last couple of months, a coworker I am friends with has been a member since 1999 there. They seemed like nice folks until the Royals kicked there teeth in, that's when they got real nasty. Before the series started most said if they lose they would root for the royals. After the sweep 95 percent did a complete turnaround.

I've about had with them continuously using the work lucky. You don't sweep two series in a row on luck alone.
