WELL WE HAVE NO FOOTBALL PROGRAM NEEDED SOMEWHERE TO GO
-
Singer got roughed up pretty bad today
He has struggled since All Star break
9-0 in 6th
Not a good day for me regarding sports
-
Well another sweep at home, WC spot is not looking good now.
I cannot believe loss of Pasquantonio has impacted this team in such a disastrous manner.
While overachieving, when you get so close it hurts.
In the offseason, besides bullpen help, hope JJ can sign an outfielder and 3B who can hit and score some runs.
-
Well Congrats to Royals for making playoffs after losing 106 games last year although I would have liked them to curb the celebration after being shut out.
It appears that KC will travel to Houston for WC games.
-
Congrats to the White Sox for being the worst team ever.
-
@AsadZ I can’t imagine anyone begrudging the Royals celebrating long and hard. Facing losing their position after a 7 game losing streak, they shut out the Nationals twice and won the 3rd game with clutch hitting, putting their magic number at 1.
It’s a season to be proud of, something no team has done before. And you would prefer they feel embarrassed?

I think they ONLY finished eighty nine GAMES UNDRE FIVE HUNDRED - -& 53 games out of first
-
@jayballer67 - White Sox aren’t done yet. It could get worse.
-
@approxinfinity We won 5 out of our last 6 sir and therefore our percentage is better than the 62 Mets and some other crappy team from way back!
Royals went 12-1 against us, like theyre not even a playoff team without the Sox! Funny thing is the Twins went 12-1 also against us but still couldn’t turn it into a playoff berth. Detroit is also in playoffs because of us.
It’s been a long two years on the south side, probably won’t be much better next year either. I quit on the team and couldn’t help but start watching again. Looking forward to the playoffs and seeing some teams win and lose.

The boys are playing some ball!
️️️
-
@wissox and sweeping the dodgers is always sweet!
-
@approxinfinity We swept the Angels not the Dodgers. Would have been sweet to sweep the Dodgers!
-
We won!
-
@wissox lol ok i misunderstood that
-
Are they still called the Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim? Bit of a mouthful.
-
Lugo was going strong but got in trouble in the 5th
Hope they can advance today
-
Let’s go Royals
ALDS
-
Three teams from AL Central in ALDS
-
Congratulations to KC for winning their wildcard— HUGE WIN for them. This is all I can say on baseball, and the upcoming series between NY & KC , because no matte what I say or how I say it o try and word it not being or trying to be disrespectful , there are people here that will say well Yankees trying to buy another world series.& that I’m just trying to rub it in and being rude sooo - - -
The only thing that I could say in response to that is you will never convince me that IF - - -IF - -IF kc DID live in a market as big as NY’s if they DID HAVE the kind of money for pay that NY has - -you can take it to the Bank that KC would do the identical same thing as your other big/huge markets do - -they would be spending just as much money on the Juan Soto’s -Aaron Judge and other big time players - no different that NY and Dodgers and others our doing now. Finally again GREAT WIN -GREAT SERIES for Kc should be another very entertaining series between the two — -GOOD luck , see how it turns out - that’s all my friends – ok, everyone go ahead and yell and unload I’m a big boy I can take it
-
@AsadZ Now I know why the Sox lost so many games! ALC is a juggarnaut! What’s funny is the Royals and Tigers probably don’t make the playoffs if the Sox had offered up some resistance and won a few games against both of those teams.
-
@jayballer67 Nah, no yelling. But your statement [that IF the Royal had the same market as NYY (which really means equal revenue resources) they also would spend heavily] makes a strong case for NFL-style revenue sharing.
No one has ever said small market teams spend less because they are better people who don’t like money. Sure, they’d spend, but NYY and LAD can afford to spend far more than their competitors. They aren’t more moral either.
It is an inherent flaw in the competitive structure that makes it harder for small-market teams, which is largely why the NFL is now more popular … revenue sharing and a hard salary cap have done a lot to keep teams more equally competitive.
Except for Jacksonville, it seems.

Go KC beat the evil empire.

Truly a dream season, w/e happens going forward KC is ahead of schedule on the rebuild.

Yeah revenue sharing and the cap is a big part of what makes the NFL so great. Completely agree.

@BShark And Manfred allows a playoff series to start at 1:30 in the afternoon while the major market teams get prime time slots during the same week.
-
How about Erceg, the guy has been lights out.
I did not know that he started his career as third baseman for Brewers but got promoted to minors due to poor hitting.
Then he lost a year due to COVID and changed position to pitching.
-
Lets go Royals, Tigers, Padres, Mets!
-
-
Haha
-
Well since we decided to play magic fill in the blank puzzles , ya NOW I will play fill in the phrase.---- Goes a little something like this ---- I won’t tell anybody I have a Wooden - - - - . as long as the Royals don’t tell they have - - - - - - - - - - in their mouth . - now THAT’S FUNNY
-
Come on and let’s go Royals
-
@AsadZ I was 0-2 tonight. Bummer.
-
Yup, Close game
That safe call on 2B tho…
-
Replay official totally botches Chisholm call, missing two times he was actually out on the same replay. Witts last at bat shoulda been a walk, but ump punches him out. Apparently Dodgers winning a suspect replay challenge. MLB wants Judge-Ohtani so badly they’re willing to look really bad to make sure it happens.
-
@wissox wow just saw that play. Obviously bad call goes the Evil Empires way, fancy that!
-
That one play was not the reason NY won but it was a crucial play given Yanks won by one run
Royals pitching gave too many walks, uncharacteristic of them
-
@AsadZ Yes there’s many plays in any game, but when a call occurs that allows a run to score when the inning would have ended means it was really a crucial blown call.
-
Salvy’s back! Whit has disappeared. But we won! 2 games in kc! Finish it there.
-
Rodon was unhittable in first couple of innings. I was taken back by his celebratory emotions though after every strikeout.
-
-
@AsadZ a tad cocky! Looked like he was gonna cry later
-
Hosmer is really into the royals, love his enthusiasm!
-
@AsadZ he probably gets a million dollar bonus for every strikeout
-
@wissox plus LA NY market. I hope it ends up anyone but NY in the AL and San Diego in the NL.
-
Hoz and his son are throwing out the first pitch tonight.
-
For San Diego? Lol
