The Royals

[Cartierfor3]

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

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

pro sports are much more pure than college sports. i'm not sure how anyone could disagree with that

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

'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.

no one cares

Well, thanks, cf3. Thought you had enough baseball acumen to see the point--we're nowhere near an epic collapse. No need to think otherwise. No need to panic. We're still quite in it.

Okay, fine. All sports mean nothing.

I wish a few others did.

I find it funny that you took my remark about this being the most severe collapse in baseball history seriously.

[Cartierfor3]

This team's place in history means little to me right now.

Didn't. Figured by your posts you knew better. Some others? Perhaps not so much.

[kso_FAN]

I'll be positive tomorrow, James is pitching. Needed to vent a bit tonight. #beroyalkc

Agreed. This team winning means everything to Royals fans.

[Phil Titola]

I'm pretty #1royal right now.  And at a 4 so I'm out......Shields will bring it home tomorrow.

[bones129]

From McCullough: Ned said in postgame that if needed, Holland would not have pitched. Still having tightness when he throws sliders.   

[Cartierfor3]

Tomorrow's game is the biggest game in 29 years. How Shields, Yost, Moore, the Myers trade, Butler (by default), Gordon, and this era of Royals baseball is remembered will be defined.

If it's not the biggest, it's pretty damned close. Wouldn't want to live on the difference.

[Cartierfor3]

Billy must play tomorrow. He must. Tomorrow defines this team. Billy's been here the longest, and done the most. Live or die with Billy.

i understand the attitude, but willingham is simply a better player.  it's not sitting butler, it's not not sitting willingham.

He has been very average.

If we win, there will be bigger games. If we lose, tomorrow will be viewed as the biggest.

[j-dub]

alex has done the most. this is alex's team. if billy wants to make his fat ass useful for the first time in weeks, i'd be all for that, but this is alex's team.

It is Alex's team. However, Billy must play.
