Choking is losing in game 7 of the world series at home.... THAT is choking.

 

[Howie115]

not really, remember how Detroit choked last year and the Royals upset 3 teams in a row to get to WS, then take it to a game 7 but your TV definitely gets different channels.

But according to you (going back a couple years), there's no such thing as a successful season if you don't win the WS.

LOL, I love how Tiggers fans have nothing better to post about than the Royals.

It's either talk Royals or be an asshole on the Lions Board.

I haven't been talking Royals much lately.....

Royals bullpen not looking so hot now... blow another save... lose again.. look like dookie. Royals fans are only a week or so away from jumping off the bandwagon... back to reality.

Tough to blow a save when you lose 1-0.

Sorry.... they bullpen just blew the game... my bad.

Who here wants to put money down on the Royals to win it all? Come on down... Business is open!! ahahahahahaahahah

 

[Iffster]

Damn....one f'ing sad dude. His entire life seems to revolve around his desire to see the Royals fail. It is always pathetic when a fan from a last place team spends an inordinate amount of time finding fault with a winning, successful franchise. Remember how ignorant and insipid the Royals and Indians fans sounded when they attempted to downgrade the Tigers success during their 5 year run as division champs? Now we have a sorry-looking Tiger fan attempting to do the same thing to the Royals who have achieved success over the last two seasons. It is a pity that some people ignore history and repeat the mistakes others made that came before them. I guess it is a human ''vice''.

I've got $1000 that says the Royals will finish ahead of the Tigers.

Royals weren't expected to make the playoffs last season and wound up in the WS, impossible to choke after making the playoffs. They failed at winning a Ring but will take a game 7 over getting swept or only winning 1 game, ala Tigers with their "great" teams.

Royals have a much better chance than the Tigers, they made the playoffs even while spending much less than the Tigers.

Attendance, really, that's what matters, lol, I see that the Tigers attendance increased after their best season in 20 years only for them to not even make the playoffs the next season. Then the city spending millions on the Tigers only to see their city go into bankruptcy, Detroit the model of spending wisely. Attendance definitely matters, lol.

getting swept when expected to be a good team, choking more?

You already lost a bet that the Royals wouldn't make the playoffs last year and didn't pay up. Guess you can make bets at will if you never pay up. Thank you though, your "sure" fire things always end up opposite. You single handily may have just sealed it for the Royals. I love it when you say these things Doug Sr.

Completely agree, Royals didn't accomplish their goal, everyone on the team would agree. Nice run but fell short, in their case 90 feet.

Agreed. It's a cute story, but it's rings or bust. Participation trophies mean nothing to me.

I don't buy that. Royals' fans getting spoiled already? Sure the goal is WS win, but come on....
What would you rather have been last season? Pick one:
A. a Detroit Tigers fan
B. a Texas Ranger's fan
C. a KC Royals fan
D. a Chicago Cubs fan

Second place is second place....but it is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

With the obvious caveat of my fanhood beginning and ending with the Royals, I'd respond D- they easily have the longest window until further notice; and therefore more chances to win rings. A poke in the eye? T'is merely a flesh wound. I am tired of mediocrity.

The dude is just lost, he had a good job for years. Royals basher while they were losing, cake job. Just confused and lost since last season. He is trying to find his place, guess pro Tigers farm scout of selling fans on players from the 30th ranked farm system is his new "calling".

a San Fran Fan, not about getting spoiled, baseball is about winning the last game of the season.
