When you have to resort to a MLS title as a sports highlight, that's not a good thing.

Its not like we have a franchise for every sport though. A Royals World Series along with our Sporting KC MLS Title would make 2 championships out of our 3 major professional sports teams.
 
Rooting for the Giants, but the Royals are definitely a team to watch out for.

In any case, I really dislike this year's WS hats... The patch, though I like the design, feels like a sticker they ironed-on:

My 2010 WS patch is so much better...

Ned Yost, master strategist from a young age:

Yost also has memories of the A’s championship teams of the 1970s — he and his buddies used to sneak into the Coliseum to watch games.

“We’d hop the fence and hide in the bathroom until BP started, and we’d run out and shag flyballs and catch them,” Yost said. “We were wandering around the stadium, and one time Vida Blue was throwing a side session. And I ran down to get his autograph, but I didn’t have anything for him to sign. The only thing I had was a dollar bill.

“So I asked Vida if he’d sign it for me, and he signed 'Vida Blue’ on the dollar bill. And I was the happiest guy in the stadium until about the sixth inning, and I got hungry and I spent it on a Colossal Dog.”

Drove by The K this morning on my way to work. Lit up like a Christmas Tree (it was like this yesterday).

I still can't believe The Royals are playing in the World Series.
 
messaging my tuesday night professor this morning to let him know that i'm "sick", can't come into class tonight :( :( :(

LETS GO ROYALS
 
hey what's up MLB GAF

so I need some help, I don't keep up with baseball but I'm making my dad a twitter account for his birthday and needed some recommendations on good people to follow. he's a big Orioles fan (RIP) so if any of yall know good Orioles profiles to follow that'd be awesome. if I don't drop back in for a bit thank you in advance for any help!
 
Man, I'm watching last night's Intentional Talk, and... they really don't know shit about the Royals, lol


I wonder who among this team winds up in the Royals HOF ultimately? For those who don't know, there are only three. George Brett, Frank White (the Royals 2nd baseman during the golden age, beloven Kansas Citian and annoouncer for many years, although the team has an unfortunate feud with him the last few years), and Dick Howser, the team's manager in 1985 who died of cancer a few years later. Incidentally, Hosmer picked the number 35 when he got called up, because that's what those three guys numbers add up to (George - 5, Dick Howser - 10 and Frank - 20).

Oh hey, the giant hornet in front of union station got a giant crown today

Decades ago, they used to have these giant crowns hanging up over the streets downtown and then at Christmas they'd decorate them up even more. I wish they'd bring that tradition back, maybe now they will!

(I'm just editing more and more brain droppings into this post as the day crawls by, haha)
 
I decided to grab some Arthur Bryant's for lunch for good luck, and holy shit this place is packed. And I feel like I'm surrounded by MLB and ESPN celebrities I should know.

Oops, duh, yep that's what I meant, haha. It's hard to think straight today! AND I also wonder who'll be in the HOF eventually as well.

Yes, I hear you. I've been nervous since last Thursday. Not going to the game tonight but I'll be at 810 zone in Lee's Summit watching. I was there for ALCS Game 2 and it was a blast. I hope I get to experience the same results tonight.

As for HOF, it's hard to say in this day and age of baseball. My money would be on Alex Gordon most likely, with Hosmer and possibly Perez next. Moose is so streaky I just don't know. I hope the Moose we've had in the playoffs is what we get from this point forward. If Davis and Holland stay with the team for the foreseeable future, they are locks.
 
If the Royals win, they won't shut up about it for another 30 years. They're uppity luck monsters with a terrible manager who went 6-13 against a not-good Tigers team in divisional play this year.

Go Giants, by default.

Totally agree about the hat thing. I just got my KC hat today, and yeah... it's so cheap, and like half ironed on. I'll probably have to kraGle it on properly. Couldn't pass up grabbing a hat though. Maybe the Champions hat will be better ;)

Guess it's a good thing Baltimore swept Detroit, those fucking chokers
 
Don't follow either team who made it to the series, but I've seen way more entertaining gifs of Giants players, so I'll wish them the best this year.

The 2014 season of the female counterpart to Major League Soccer, the NWSL, was won by our team, FC Kansas City about six weeks ago.

Well that's a stupid way to pick a team. You should do it based on which team's players have more entertaining Instagram accounts.

Haha, LoCain was on 610 a couple days ago talking about that. His take was basically just "yep, Sal is a complete lunatic who loves fucking with me all the time... glad he finds it so amusing"
 
I went to both Arthur Bryant's and Oklahoma Joe's when we road-tripped to KC two summers back. Really dug both, but I gotta give AB the trophy on this one. That food put me on another plane of existence.
 
Don't know why I had Olbermann on.

Dude is so fucking bitter that the Nationals and Angels didn't make it to the World Series.
