I think its somewhat fair to say that Joe Pos was once the D Scott of the Roys.

Anyway, this is enjoyable: http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/posnanski-royals-win-world-series/

wow!

I pretty much cried at this:

“You tell your mother-in-law that we did this for her and all the fans who never stopped caring and believing,” he said.

It got me too.

The Royals did win all 7 of those games, unless ESPN is lying. Assuming those percentages are accurate, the odds of coming back and winning all of those 7 games are 1 in 34.7 million. It's a pretty meaningless stat, though.

you prolly should google probabilities or some such keyword.

The probability that the Royals would win all 7 of those games was 93% because at some point the probablity that they would win each was 99%.

I want pictures of Salvy smiling and holding that trophy tattoo'd on the back of my eyelids. I don't want to see another image for the rest of my life.

Did anyone else notice Salvy chanted his own name when they gave him the WS MVP trophy?

Did anyone notice that Cueto seemed to be disappointed he wouldn't be pitching on Tuesday?

Great read. D Scott is a cheap JoePos knockoff.

Not really. Him smiling while he leaned his leg over the rail of the dugout waiting for the final out was quite entertaining though.

I was able to get a room at the alladin tonight, which looks pretty close to everything. debating to grab a kid and make the drive up.

The Aladdin is pretty great. Have fun!

I would like to take this time to recognize Luke Hochevar. Was a huge stud all post-season.

Guys if you put on Trap Queen and watch _fan's .gif in his signature it is perfectly timed to the song's beat. Coincidence?

Yes, but there is nothing surprising about any word in that comment.

You are just trying to come up with the probability of a different event occurring than I am.
