The A's did everything this year possible to break my passion for the game. :{

I wish I could just become a casual fan but it ain't going to happen. :lol I will always love and respect the game of baseball. The Niners winning a super bowl would be cool, but it wouldn't mean half as much as the A's winning one in my lifetime.
 
When the Yanks won in 09, people were partying in Union Square around where I caught the game. I gotta see if I can find the pictures but there was a cardboard Matsui cut out and everything was great...right up until they flipped a cop car over :lol decided that was the time to call it a night.

The Royals were NOT a Cinderella team. Call me butthurt/salty but it pisses me off every time I hear it. They were favored to win. They were the better team. Sometimes the better team doesn't win tho

Yes slightly favored to win once the series began as are most teams with home field advantage . As far as them being a Cinderella team I agree with you they aren't we knew going into the season this was a two team division with the Royals and Tigers and it was the division went right down to the last week of the season to decide seeding.

As far as the Royals being the better team... what were the two things you kept hearing about the Royals coming into the series? Speed and defense.

- Each team stole one base during the series.
- The Giants defense was just as good if not better in the series.

If your opponent is able to stop you from doing what you do best... what you have done all year and then I think they are the better team. Wether it was indecision or the Royals part or not they still had chances and failed to take advantage. Again advantage of one of there "strengths"

-115 and they were "favored to win" and "the better team."

They are man. They'll regress. I guarantee they wont make the playoffs next season. They shouldve lost to the A's about 8 times.

MLB playoffs is too random nowadays. You really just need to get in the playoffs and hope you get hot for 1 month. Gone are the days of the Yankees winning 3 straight. There's a reason there hasnt been a repeat champ in the 21st century.
 
I wouldn't go that far with the Giants and Cards winning every other year

The Cards have won 1 title the last 8 years. So this every other year thing has me confused.

The Giants never had the best record in any of the 3 titles. (Though it helps to have the best PLAYOFF mgr in the game and Bum pitching out of this world)

The numbers dont lie. MLB playoffs is get in and hope you get hot for 1 month...
 
Looks like Billy Butler is headed to free agency. The Royals declined his option. Add him to the laundry list of homegrown talent they've pissed away. Smh

You were confident after game 3 :lol



Royals going to be fine. Tons of young talent to replace him
 
:rollin A-Rod gif/McMahon theme combo

Glad to have partaken in this season thread another year. As a few others have said, I loved football, but baseball will always be my first and favorite sport.
