As a lifelong Royals fan, today was a heart breaker. Unfortunately, I think our goose is cooked. It was a long shot anyway, but a fun ride. Todays game was a must win. Santana does what he does and we have ample opportunities to score runs. At some point the offense has to win a few games. Elliot Johnson at 3b is a travesty. For that matter any time Elliot and Getz are in the lineup, raise the white flag. I kind of feel bad for both of them, because one of them is gone tomorrow and it was probably their last chance.

Hosmer had two chances today, to blow the game open. He didn't deliver. If youre gonna point fingers, he needs one pointed at him.

This 5 game series at Detroit is probably the biggest series the Royals have played in the last 28 years. They know it, we know it, and I don't think it will end well.


We now have to absolutely take 3/5. Anything less and we come home home 6 games out of the wild card with 5 teams in front of us. Aint happening.


Make me believe again.

Great post

I know you wake up with the royals every day like I do. Baseball is America. Let's do this.

Yep, good post.
I would like to add Gordon to the finger pointing too.
0-5 with 5 LOB isn't going to cut it (Hosmer 2-5, 2 2b, 6 LOB)

Well it was fun while it lasted.

I live 1,000 miles from KC. I wake up at 6 every morning and turn 810 WHB on my phone to listen to The Border Patrol discuss the previous night's game. I listen to the pre-game show driving home from work. I listen to the 810 and 610 post-game shows.

This ride's been great fun. Hate to see it end.

I agree to a certain extent. Gordon resigned with this team and he's a player. Hosmer never will. He's a boras client and he's gonna be a star. Look forward to him playing his twilight years in New York or California. Game is broken and needs fixed.

Naturals manager Brian Poldberg said Kyle Zimmer was pulled because he was complaining of "stiffness," and they were being extra cautious.

I'm afraid it has my friend. You just never know. Made me believe again, and I took my family to 4 games. Went to opening day at the K and July 3/4. My kids are into it and it's priceless.

I still maintain they hang around some ams probably end up winning 80-85 games. 3rd place.

I'm heading to the highest bridge.

Dear God guys! Come on! Should we have won this series? Yeah. But let's be realistic here, it would have been impossible to win EVERY series from the all-star break on. This team is capable of winning a lot of games still and we have a lot of baseball left! We're a little dinged up right now but I still feel very confident in this group. Hell, maybe losing a series to the fraking marlins is what this team needs to wake up and realize wins aren't gonna just fall in their laps. Let's cut the negativity and ride this mofo out! What else do we got to do?!!!

Lose a series to Boston, Detroit, Baltimore? Fine. This was unacceptable. We have missed two golden opportunities the past two days. If we just don't play terrible we win them and are sitting 3 games back of both wildcard spots and are ahead of all the other contenders.

Instead we are 5 back of both spots and only 0.5 ahead of the freaking Yankees. Add in the fact that the biggest series we have had since 1985 is shaping up to be an absolute disaster, well, it's hard to stay positive right now.

If we don't make the playoffs it is likely by just a few games and these past two turds will be the first ones that we think of on our couch watching the Chiefs matriculate 5 yards at a time instead of watching playoff baseball.

****ing this.
Perfect post.

When does Moose come back?
