#Royals Wade Davis had 9 wins to just 8 earned runs in 2014, most in a season ever by a pitcher with more wins than earned runs.

We really need to do a better job as a community of appreciating Wade Davis

Newspapers from Seattle to Washington, D.C. have dubbed KC “America's Team.” Even overseas, The Independent (UK) noted that America is "falling in love with the Royals."

I'm going to shush about Ned after this, but what I liked about him from the start didn't have much to do with baseball. I probably watched three full royals games all year. But from what I saw from a leadership standpoint was that he seemed like a guy who wasn't an emotional dork that made snap decisions, and seemed like he had an over-arching philosophy that he was trying to stick to and believed in. I also heard him talk and he seemed slightly smarter than the average baseball manager. He basically struck me as the anti-Paul Rhodes, who is always my go-to example for worst possible kind of leader.

thanks for your 3rd party objective opinion

Haters are often very "jelly" of what they are hating on

I've had an awful hangover all day but I haven't been able to stop smiling. I'm glad we got to experience this (somewhat) together, friends (even you, PIPE. I guess.). What a wild ride.

Guys. I changed some stuff around to be in town for game 1. I'm going, one way or another, this is too good to miss. Now I just need a ticket

Why is Ned saying that Lo Cain bunted on his own, but the articles are all saying Ned was unorthodox in having Lo Cain bunt, but it worked out?

Gonna win 'em all!

10+ years of buying season tickets telling myself "you get first shot at playoffs Phil" and then laughing a little bit....it finally pays off. I don't want to do an ROI on it but damn it feels good to have Game 1,2,6,7 tickets secured.

because most reporters (and this is a pretty consistent rule in life with some definite exceptions) are huge dorks who don't know what the hell they are talking about.

The only drawback to sweeping the pud Giants is Game 4 being at their place instead of at the K.
