Fingers crossed for Sox-platypuses

WTF!

[Lament]

You have the easiest schedule left of any team in the race. You should still easily get a bye.

[@SkitchP]

god damn it.

[numbers]

We want first place, not just the bye.

[Lament]

I feel vindicated for wanting the real Royals to lose the World Series as badly as I did right about now.

Fucking #DevilMagic.

"What if I told you there was a league where Cy Young faced guys like Barry Bonds, and Clemens pitched every day, sometimes twice? And what if I told you there were 6 or so losers who let this league consume their lives?"

30 for 30

I often think back to the very first post made after I started the thread that ultimately became the Post-Strike Baseball Tournament and kicked this whole chapter of RM off...

I've never done anything on WhatIfSports, but it sounds like the kind of thing that could consume and gradually ruin my life.

I'm so in.

I saw Chris_H_2 giving you shit about that on twitter. I was glad to see you were on the right side though.

[numbers]

There's just something about the Giants that I really like. I think it's because they are basically going against every player evaluation and acquisition trend in baseball and winning the World Series all the time.

New lineup against RHP loaded into whatif for the Tigers

Im pretty disappointed how little ruddo has paid attention to his teams.

[numbers]

He is like the real owners of those teams.

I'd like to see the A's, Braves, and Brewers represented next year. Dodgers and Giants too.

[TBAMTS]

Huge sweep for the Cubbies! Game 2 may have been the most intense game of their season. Sosa a 2 out 3 - run HR in the bottom of the 8th to put them ahead. And then Randy Myers getting out of a bases loaded jam in the 9th to hold onto victory. Wow!

[TBAMTS]

I'd like to see the A's, Braves, and Brewers represented next year. Dodgers and Giants too.

I'd definitely be up for taking on a second team if this is done again in the future.

[@SkitchP]

I am mad at myself for not tracking Games Started and Complete Games.

Despite having an ex Husker and being a close team (3 hours away) I found myself rooting for the Giants in game 7 more so then the Royals. Plus I love Tim Hudson so it was hard to root against him. SOOOOO many people jumped on the bandwagon around here. It was sick. I went to Target last night with the kiddo to pick up a few things and they had a shit ton of Royals stuff. I have lived here my whole life and never seen something Royals at Target. Fucking lame.

That being said I thought my All time Royals were done a few times but they keep finding a way.
