**** October 10th, Yankees at Royals ALDS Game 4 GDT ****

People started heading to their cars in the 9th before the game was over. We're better than that. Great year, but you can't leave because you want to beat traffic in that situation.

Yeah, that sucks. They deserved to have a full stadium for the entire game. That said, the crowd knew what was going to happen. We were just too predictable at the plate. We chased everything out of the zone in the last two games. It was just crazy how bad and undisciplined we were at the plate. And look, the Yankees pitching at the K was outstanding, but we helped them out in both games. It’s why we lost the series…and amazingly, the 27 walks we surrendered somehow weren’t really the story.

Salvy has had a great career, which I would assume is probably over, but he chased stuff out of the zone in both series. Batting clean up that sure did hurt.

Not sending BWJ late yesterday was huge.

There wasn't a WHOLE bunch of people leaving in the 9th... but some in the lower sections, which probably made it look like it was more people.

We had ONE thing to really cheer about... Pasquatch sighting after he drove in the one run. The stadium was electric and just ready to blow up.

Fun time at the park. Shit outcome to see the Yanks celebrating on our field.

That kind of sucks, one of the underrated things about the WS game 7 loss to the Giants was the ovation at the end of the game. Of course, nobody was leaving that one, but the stadium didn't fall into dead silence and some tried to start a 'thank you, Royals' chant'.

Not the biggest reason to stay until the end, but still.

Tonight was different than last night. I think most of us were still hungover.

And that whole series would have ended way differently with robo umps calling balls and strikes too. Not bumgardner getting a strike zone 6” outside the box and our strike zone being 6” inside it. And then having Joe Buck spend the whole series talking about how great of a pitcher he is.

I was at the game and in no position to see the strike zone, but the biggest annoyance was playing small ball in Bum's first inning... hated wasting an out in that inning and putting it all on one guy to knock home a run.

I agree, but a little perspective - the Royals proved last night there is NO plan for parking for a crowd this big. It took me an hour to even get a few feet from the spot I parked in. Complete pandemonium. Now myself, there's no way I'm leaving before the last out in a 2-run playoff game. But I know a lot of people have a much lower threshold. Maybe would've been nice for the Royals to hire some of the Chiefs people to handle parking.

I've been sitting in my car and haven't moved since I typed that. Flaky just put it in park.

TSC has always been about making your own road going cross country and making the other guy believe you're willing to take out a fender.

Get aggressive its only going to get worse when they move to downtown.

No it won't. Leaving will get better downtown because a 1/3 of the crowd won't be leaving right after the game.

Agree to disagree. Royals are a completely different animal than Chiefs fans. Royals are more family oriented and head home after the game instead of partying downtown.
