The Royals

[Cartierfor3]

Some of you need to consider not being jerks right now

I'd love to see the streak end, but we're about to watch the most entertaining, and frustrating, collapse of a baseball team in playoff contention (possibly) ever.

weird and horrible attitude

1/2 game back of first (we aren't tied given that suspended game) with 3 weeks left?  JFC, enjoy this!!!!!!

There are over a 100 examples of a worse collapse in MLB history.

True.

This just feels worse than the Cleveland mess last week. And that was terrible.

The Oakland As, for example

We out hit the tigers today, that is a good sign

[ksupamplemousse]

This thread right now is a perfect example of a fan base that hasn't seen their team go to the playoffs in almost thirty years. Baseball is weird. We could start another run tomorrow, and Detroit could fall off a cliff. Much stranger things have happened.

you may be kidding, but

9 singles and 1 double is not better than 5 singles, a double, and 2 home runs

Cleveland was at home...that felt much worse.  The piss poor defense has made this series feel pretty horrible though.

Each and every one of us picked the royals to lose two out of three this series, not sure what the problem is

I almost feel bad for you 'tards other than you knew this was coming and you still ran headfirst into that wall.  Dumbasses

Yes, but it doesn't feel like that. It feels like we've been hanging on by a thread for a week. I hope that run is coming though.

Oh, I definitely agree that it doesn't feel like we're going to turn it on, but we all felt that way after the all-star break as well. Like I said, baseball is weird, and there's a reason that stats are so prevalent in this sport...because gut feelings aren't very good at predicting the game.

Good point, k-p-m.

11 LOB, lots of room for improvement!

'64 Phillies were epic. (Pre-playoffs). They led by 6-1/2 with 12 games left and didn't win another game. Lost the NL pennant.

Not really. We're talking about professional sports here. They mean nothing.

[Phil Titola]

I would have taken us in this position if you would have asked me 30 days ago...hell 15 days ago. 

[kim carnes]

i'm actually pleased with where we stand right now.  our offense has been hot garbage.
