Boy, the Royals have really gone backwards after what I thought was gonna be a real momentum boost with Hosmer's walk off HR off old KC teammate Greg Holland.

Outscored 35-2 since that 9th inning HR.

Good. **** the Royals.

Good. **** the Royals.

Even though the Tigers have been a bigger playoff nemesis for Oakland from the AL Central, it seems like the Royals elicit stronger feelings from A's fans than Detroit.

because that '14 WC game still haunts many of us. at least for me it still does

not to mention the BS they pulled in '15 with the whole lawrie slide thing. just an easy group to hate

 

[Blitzkrug]

Not to mention they had guys like Ventura looking to start **** with whoever was willing

Machado, the entire Blue Jays roster, Adam Eaton. The list goes on.

Amazing that the Royals haven't scored in half a week yet they are only 3 games back of the wild card.

Detroit won simply because of Verlander. If they didn't have him, A's win both of those series.

Those were great, 5-game series where it was left on the field. I have no bad feelings towards them.

The '14 wildcard was probably the best game I've ever seen. Both teams kept answering the other. They just happened to get the breaks late and won.

I don't like them because they tried to make Brett Lawrie a human dart board for an awkward slide (albeit a late one). But, it was a ball off the pitcher that was then fielded by Moustakas and thrown to 2nd. Almost every 3b throws that ball to 1st, and Lawrie was caught off guard. They got their shot in the next day, which was fine, but Herrera then throwing and pointing at his head was totally bush league. They then carried it past that series and into multiple others against other teams.

Can't wait until that group is disbanded and they're stuck with Gordon and Kennedy's contracts.

Taking the Duffman thing a bit too far.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

The Royals already had a successful run, I'm sure their fans don't care

That Miggy mega extension looks worse by the day.

16-17:$28M annually, 18-21:$30M annually, 22-23:$32M annually, 24:$30M club option ($8M buyout), 25:$30M club option

Stuck paying him 30+ million year until he's 40 at the earliest. Full no trade clause too.

Caught DUI when he passed out in the drive-thru of a Burger King.

This Astro game is so weird already. Only the lower bowl is open, and the Astros are wearing the road warm up uniforms. MLB should have allowed them to wear the nickname jerseys again.

 

[robert terwilliger]

wearing the nickname jerseys would have made it worse. there's a hard enough time figuring out who everyone is.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Number 51 for Giancarlo.

That Miggy mega extension looks worse by the day.

16-17:$28M annually, 18-21:$30M annually, 22-23:$32M annually, 24:$30M club option ($8M buyout), 25:$30M club option

Stuck paying him 30+ million year until he's 40 at the earliest. Full no trade clause too.

The worst part is, the deal was signed BEFORE the 2014 season even began when he still had 2 years left on the previous deal. There was no rush.

With that said, I would not rule out Cabrera rebounding next year to like an .850 OPS level.

 

[PBandJ]

Errors galore tonight for the Jays.

 

[robert terwilliger]

sale trying not to let kluber pull too far ahead of him for the cy.

 

[PBandJ]

Sale is just slashing through the Jays tonight.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Makes his 2 horrific outings against Cleveland all the more bizarre.

BREAKING: Royals score a run!!!!!! 45 and 2/3 innings of drought is over. They set the AL record. A record set by the St. Louis 'no, not THOSE Browns but still pretty bad' Browns.

 

[robert terwilliger]

lol montero just tried to throw out rajai davis from the crouch.

 

[PBandJ]

Holy **** this is ridiculous...

Montero sucks.

 

[robert terwilliger]

i hope montero trashes the jays pitching staff after the game.

 

[robert terwilliger]

i bet arrieta watches this game before he goes to bed tonight.

 

[KaylaJ]

i wish MLB had dropped their blackout restrictions for the Rangers~Astros game cause I just don't really want to hear the TX announcers for the next 3 days.
