Sipping down my last drink of a long night. Reflecting on what a glorious season this has been. The Royals are relevant again. Love this team and loved this season. Can't wait for next year.

These guys made memories.

They'll be back.

This isn't a flash in the pan.

Royals fans on facebook were being extra Iowa State-y all night. Moral victories for everyone!!!!

I guess i never really had a team get this far only to come up short...however this hurts worse than i thought i would. Made that great run...only to fall just short and be a footnote. This one stings. I'll reminisce and be happy in a couple days...but right now....ouch.

Man, today isn't as fun as yesterday. What a fun team. I'm just sad this morning. One pitcher can win a WS almost completely by himself.

Gonna win 'em all!

gonna hurt for a while

Man, that was a fun ride. I'd be more upset about coming up short if this was a one time thing, but the core of this team is under contract for the next few years.

slobber · « **Reply #30588 on:** October 30, 2014, 08:35:37 AM »

Can somebody link me to a post or to a site where it lists the duration of each of the player's contract?

Sucks... but fun ride!

Hey we can do this again next year! The boys will be hungry!

I also didn't catch up on this thread from last night and this might be Luked.

The team needs to get better this offseason to have much of a chance at getting back to the playoffs. Need to replace Shields with a better pitcher.

Thoughts on buying a Royals World Series hoodie even though they didn't win the world series. Will I get made fun of outside of Kansas?

Do people buy clothes for games they lost?

we were the better team.

Obviously they can't just hold pat with what they have. Butler, Shields, and Hoch leaving frees up a lot of payroll to work with in the offseason.

We need a starter and a big bat in the middle of the lineup, but that's about it. GMDM turned out to be right about several of the moves he made. Going back to the Greinke for LoCain and Escobar trade 4 years ago nearly every acquisition he's made has worked out for the better.

The interesting move will be if they decide to pay Davis or not. $7M is a lot for a set up man, albeit the best set up man in baseball.
