Oh, right... Well, I guess we'd have to beat him and insure there IS no game 7!

It looks super fake. Just let it go, bro.
Anyone besides Cards fans realize the call didn't blow the game and got over it. The runner was put out at third. It extended the inning and that's about it. Then the wild pitch came and the walk and a hit. The Cards pitched that game away.
They fact we've had to hear about it for three decades wears on Royals fans.

Both starts would be on short rest unless there's a rain delay, right? Sounds risky.
Lets just hope that the easier Game 5 matchup would help Shields get out of this funk.

Wow. Suuuuuuper douchey Giants fans on our live coverage here in KC.

Man, fuck this. I'm at a concert trying to forget this game, and the fucking bassist has a KC shirt on. I can't escape it.
Oh it was definitely the fault of the call, that's pretty much agreed upon. But bad calls happen, and the Cardinals have certainly had many in their favor before.
Again, it seems really weird to hold this antipathy when the antipathy seems so bizarrely one sided.
Let the love in, man. It can heal your black heart.
I don't know about it being one sided. I've known too many Cards fans. Enough to call it a trend in my book rather than anecdotal.

Well, that's possible. My anecdotal experience has been different. Regardless, good luck Royals; no animosity here.

The Giants have already dropped more games this series than they did in their last 2 World Series combined...

Ah, but that's the very thing you're missing... What could sting more than an unrequited rivalry? The fact that STL doesn't return KC's antipathy doesn't make KC feel better, it makes Kansas Citians feel worse!
Note that all of this is completely on hold right now, and at the present time, KC actually loves EVERYBODY.

There haven't been any KC fans in the post-season for 29 years.
This post makes zero sense.

Hahahahaha, this might be the worst World Series ever in terms of seeing so many bandwagoner fans for a team.
It would be cool to see the Royals win the World Series though, just to see the KC fans dump them once they have the post-championship slump.
Ask any KC fan to name a player that was on the team before this year, and the universal answer will probably almost always be Prince Harry.

There is so much wrong in this post that I don't even know where to begin.

Who was the poster that kept talking trash in that 2012 WS thread? We need him back to give the Giants some of that mojo. Lol.

Bo Jackson. George Brett. Bret Saberhagen. Carlos Beltran. Jermaine Dye. Johnny Damon. Mike Sweeney.
I can go on. What do I win?
Such a salty Giants fan. Just wow.

Giants fans are the biggest bandwagon fanbase in sports. Ask any Giants what Buster Posey's real name and they'll probably say, "I'm not sure, but look at my fresh NL Champions shirt!"

Nope, 2 rings baby. I don't even care if the Giants win or lose. With how bad their pitching has been this year compared to previous years, I wasn't even expecting them to make the playoffs.
I just want to see a good World Series, and tonights game was fantastic, as were the first two games in their own different ways.
I just always love to laugh at the thousands of bandwagoner fans. No matter what team. But this is the worst I've ever seen it, hahaha. Sooo good.

Nope, since 1998 when I was 9, but thanks for playing. ^_^

Nice job faking antipathy. Can we expect the same blasé attitude if you win the Series? I know you don't want to open yourself up for disappointment, but I would hate to confuse you for a hypocrite.

A Giants fan accusing other teams of having bandwagon fans is rich.
it's not even hard for non KC fans to name players though
I mean you can list off a number of players from the current team such as Butler, Hosmer, Gordan and have a right answer... and I imagine a good number of people would know the 2009 cy young winner Zack Greinke. Plus tigers fans likely know Joakim Soria came from KC. And as a white sox fan I can safely say the horrid player Mark Teahen came from KC
on the flip side...
I haven't a clue who Prince Harry is off the top of my head

Well, young buck, it must have been tough witnessing the four bad seasons they've had since then. I'm not sure how you managed.
Royals fan since 1988, when I was 7 years old. I've known only pain.

If his point was to prove that we're all band-wagoners, a better argument would be that we could ONLY name past Royals. As in, we aren't as familiar with the current squad. I can probably name you the entire 2004 roster, for instance. Six months ago, I could probably name half of this team.

Nope, I will rub it in, rub it in. Just like I expect KC fans to if they win, and I'll be cool with that.
Will be glorious. ^_^

This post would work better if I said Giants fans weren't huge bandwagoners. Every team are huge bandwagoners. 2010 was cringeworthy for real Giants fans. But even that wasn't nearly as bad as this year for KC.

Congrats on contradicting yourself in the span of twelve minutes. I'm not sure you even know what you're saying at this point.

Goodnight, sweet troll. Enjoy the L that you "don't care about." Stay salty.
I suppose but as a fan that pays attention to other teams in my division it's quite easy to name a number of players on the KC team... especially since they have been the team that has scared me the most for the past 3 years in the al central (which I am pretty sure I have mentioned in the threads over the years)
but yeah before the post season I could have named 6 of the 9 starting players on the team (I couldn't name the third baseman, Right fielder (I am treating cain as the center fielder) or the second baseman) and I could name 4 of the pitchers.
now I did only know like 5 players on the gaints team before this series though

Nope. This really doesn't make sense.
Bandwagoners will know who is playing in the Postseason because it's on TV and all of the city hype. They will not know any past players unless they are some huge names or are mentioned on TV during that postseason.
well it makes sense that it's worse this year. Sure the giants had a longer time between WS wins but they were facing a team that hadn't won it before so there was no clear underdog, in fact I rooted for the Rangers back in 2010.
in this series you have the evil team that has won twice in the last 5 years and the team that hadn't made the playoffs since 1985.... it's very easy to see which side you want to root for if you aren't a giants fan

The greater KC metro population is 2.3 million. There are 10, maybe 20-fold that many people cheering for the Royals right now. I have random coworkers who don't follow baseball at all hyped up for the team.
This is a case of the entire nation outside of San Fran is pulling for KC. As well they should be.

If KC wins, that would really be a death blow to The Tigers. All that money spent trying to win a ring and here is this perennial loser winning it all.
Bay Area fans are in general. I damn near got Vertigo trying to keep track of As and Giants fans in my area this season.
