I'm loving the "lucky" narrative, please post more of it

Gonna win 'em all!

The Mets did choke 3 times. That is why their current personnel will never win a World Series and had no chance from the beginning. They are born losers.

The Royals won the World Series twice in my lifetime guys!

Mine too and I remember both very well.

I will say this now; can we stop with the "party like its 1985" stuff now? This team is its own team. Let's party like its 2015 and we just won the world's championship (which we just did) and leave the past (as fun as that was as a 10 year old) in the past.

This one might just have my name on it...

I hugged Stevesie last night. I hugged Bunter last night. I hugged waks last night. I hugged lots of people last night. I wish I could have hugged all of you last night, even PIPE. I cannot believe this. I love you all.

From Andy:
"Harvey wanted the ninth. He wanted the Royals. Perhaps history will forgive him for his impudence. Because the Royals did not."

@SEK EMAW where?  I like that top one.

In the ninth inning of the fifth (and potentially decisive) game of the World Series, Terry Collins was in a position where he had to choose between his ace and his closer. The closer was warm. The ace was dominating, and if he got in trouble the closer would back him up. The lead was two. The situation was pretty sweet. Either way, he was likely to win. There was no wrong answer.

Fifteen minutes later, Eric Hosmer was in a position where he had to choose between staying at third base with two outs—and, representing the tying run, in need of a teammate’s hit to get him home—or making a dash for home on a routine groundout, and potentially ending a World Series game on a baserunning boner. It was not nearly clear that he was fast enough to get home on anything but a defensive miscue. The gamble was extremely perilous. One way or the other, the Royals were unlikely to win this game. There was no right answer.

the rest of the article is pretty good too.  but i especially liked this juxtaposition.

I like those Nike designs, I just wish they were dry fit shirts. I got the cotton "Reclaim the Crown" shirt last year and now it looks like I bought it in 1985. I have a plain "Royals" Nike dry fit shirt that I bought 2 years ago and it still looks brand new. Also, I love the Majestic and UnderArmour dry fit blend shirts, they are expensive but fantastic.

So happy Sal won MVP.  I love everyone on our team.  But man do I love Sal.

Has anyone found one of those probability of winning graphs for this game as it progressed?
