Ned says the Royals just have the FLU....

Baseball. So weird. Nothing or no one is to blame. Just bad luck. It happens. Try again tomorrow.

its bad, but we lost 8 in a row in 1980 in september, and went to Game 6 of the WS.

Also, (2014 CF3 would kill me if he saw this) its my opinion that Ned is perfect for situations like these. He's upbeat with the team, and won't freak out.

it's so random that the royals keep losing to these inferior teams

We also lost 9 of 11 earlier this season. May 24-June 6. Not panicking, just mildly concerned and wondering when we break out of it.

Interesting stuff by Andy. Worth the whole read.

Home field is going away. I'm just hoping we win the division.

If Tor keeps it going and catches it, good for them....be a fun series against Houston.

Texas is only 1/2 game back of Houston right now

I don't see it

The Royals need to fly Raul Ibanez into Cleveland and have him give a team meeting before tonight's game. Pay him whatever it takes.

this team is folding like a wet blanket. the winning chemistry they once had is all gone, along with their confidence.
will they make the playoffs? more than likely...but let me warn all of you now that you need to temper your expectations because this team clearly lacks the magic that it had just a few, short, months ago.
toronto would crush the american league defending champs if they were to meet today. sad to lose it all so quickly but that's baseball and life at the top. you can only go downhill.

I got chills watching that. A win like that would completely turn things around.

It could. It was one of the most exciting games down the stretch, but it came in the midst of a similar bad stretch of baseball to this year's. It was only our 4th win in the last 10 games and we would go on to lose 3 of our next 4, including the first 2 at home vs Detroit.

everybody forgets that the 2014 royals were not hot entering october. however they were super hot in august (just like this year)

Yeah, I was a little surprised. I forgot we went from 78-62 and up 1.5 in the Central to 83-71 and down 3 over the course of 2 weeks. Worse than this year, but October made us forget that.

I heard BITB said that we need to move Infante back to second base.

Why are stupid people given microphones

Let's all list reasons why we're still optimistic that the 2015 Royals will win the pennant.

I'll start: The lineup is finally the correct batting order

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #47148 on:** September 15, 2015, 11:58:45 AM »

I have another one!!!!

Alex Gordon looks great.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #47149 on:** September 15, 2015, 12:00:01 PM »

Cueto will turn this around because he's a good pitcher and that's what good pitchers do. Herrera will also fix his issues.
