Grand slams are a bitch!

Colorado is going to be really bummed when we hit one, I agree.
do you remember when I came in on relieve and some guy broke the free state scoreboard off on me? :D :frown:

I don't remember that specifically, but it sounds like you :zing:

Why isn't the mascot mr. Royal? Too similar to mr. Met?

How many mascots have baseballs for heads?

Mr. Red, Mr. Met, Mrs. Met. Are there any others?

We're fine guys, we're fine. Especially with a day off tomorrow after 16 straight games without one, then three games against the Rangers. Back of the pen got some rest and Salvy gets off that knee for two days.

not gonna lie when i say that there was a small part of me that wanted the game to remain 2-1 going into the 8th and then holland, davis wouldn't have been available or whatever and then we give up the lead and go into extra innings or something then lose. i would've been all see i told you so. it was a really small part though you guys.

We all know the Royals are gonna lose some games down the stretch
And errors are gonna happen.   KC has 72 of them

Disappointing that Colon making his 3rd career start at 3rd base makes an error on an easy throw.   Then frustrating that what should have been the 3rd out turns into 4 unearned runs when Duff walks a lefty and gives up the slam

We only got 2 runs tonight, but Duffy pitched well enough and a 2-1 win could have happened.    Royals haven't given away a win in several weeks.   Hopefully it will be several games before we do it again

Yeah, Roys were 13-3 in those 16 games which is pretty good.

Now go win the series against Texas.

Today marks another "the first time in a long time" point for the Roys. After today, the Roys will officially lead the division by themselves the latest in the season since 1985. In 2003 the Roys lost the division lead on August 21st after losing 4-3 to the Twins. They would come back to tie on August 27th and 28th, but never led the division alone again that season.

In 1985 the the eventual world champions were still 1.5 games back on August 21st while holding a 65-52 record. The Royals didn't gain the lead in the division until September 6th, then lost it again before regaining it for good on October 3rd while holding on to beat out the Angels by 1 game.

In 1994 the Royals were 64-51 on August 10th when the strike finished the season, but were still 4 games out.

The only other notable team since 1985 was in 1989, and that team might have actually been better than the 85 world champs. On August 21st that team was 71-53, but still 4.5 games back. The closest they came to the division winning Oakland As was 1.5 games back on September 1st at 79-55. The Royals would peak at 25 games over .500 (85-60) on September 13th, but were still 3 games behind.

Yeah, it was much different with 2 divisions. In 89 the A's (99 wins), Royals (92), and Angels (90) in the AL West all finished with more wins than the East winning Blue Jays (89).
