So with the Royals winning it all, they're probably going to re-sign Gordon. They might even have the space to sign a decent pitcher to replace Cueto.

And they don't even have Holland...

Just amazing.

Royals not making 3 World Series in a row.

Leaving Harvey in after the walk was bad.

 

How does Niese not go out there for a second inning.

 

How bad is the national league?

 

 

Good for the Royals. I hate those guys, but at least they built a team the right way.

I wonder what the record for lowest total HRs for a WS winning team is. This KC team's gotta be there.

I'm sure there's plenty of teams before 1980 that hit fewer than 139 homers.

I don't get the rationale of throwing Niese for only one inning. He's a god damn starting pitcher. Let him go 3 innings for all I care.

I know most of you guys can't stand KC, but I really enjoy wathing them play. I envy their execution. Wish the Sox could just do even a fraction of what KC does.

I feel the same, and I'm definitely envious of their talent.

Giants hit fewer homeruns last year.

The Royals actually hit a few homers this year. Perez, Moustakas, Hosmer, and Morales were all around 20. In the current run environment, that's actually pretty decent.

Royals not making 3 World Series in a row.

I wouldn't bet on that.

 

Although I'd say the Royals have a better shot of making the 3rd world series than we do even making the playoffs

You wouldn't bet against a single team not making the World Series? That's an easy bet to make, no matter who the team is.

Nothing against the Mets but I'm happy the AL is going to win it, clearly the superior league this year.

 

It seems odd that a team would have consecutive world series appearances these days.

 

A lot of empty seats from some views looking behind home plate.

 

I'm sure it must hurt to watch, but cmon mets fans -- may as well just sit around and watch someone celebrate

Phillies and Rangers did it very recently.

I wouldn't bet on that.

I would..................... the 2nd part of your sentence I agree with.

You take everything so literal it's hilarious.

 

Point is, last season everyone made excuses and explained the Royals wouldn't make it back. They did. And yes statistically it's probably not going to happen; but I wouldn't flat out just say they won't be back as you suggest.

I'm sure there's plenty of teams before 1980 that hit fewer than 139 homers.

I meant in the WS, I know it's only 5 games but I didn't watch every game but I could only recall Gordon's game tying HR in GM 1.

 

Anyways, the Royals don't bother me half as much as the Twins, Tigers and Indians. They were bad for so long I'm happy for them in that regard.

Congrats KC....................AL rules again.

Congrats KC!

 

I'm happy for them representing the ALC.

I know there aren't really a ton of good ways to do this, but I wish more victories were at home.

Johnny Gomes is on the Royals? Esh

Congrats Royals

Congrats Kansas City Royals

And now they will win 90 games next year behind stellar offense and OK pitching as their bullpen implodes and they will miss the playoffs.
