Um the o's have had multiple playoff appearances since '83...

Seriously?  :x

They won the pennant in '97, and were the wild card in '96 and 2012.

Compared to KC's postseason history since '85, that sounds like a lot to me.

Do you go tell Cub Fans they should be happy because of all their playoff appearances as well?  Anyway they did not win the Pennant in '97 and thank you for bringing up such a painful memory.

And there it is. Fuck.  I just wanted to win one game in San Francisco, so they can have a shot at home. Watch them lose tomorrow as well.  Never would have thought fielding would do them in.

Jebus - the game isn't even over yet.

Only if they were to try a "oh woe is me" act to a Royals fan.  But in general I thought loser franchise fan bases should stick together and hate on the Yankees.

And my mistake - Division Title in '97, not pennant.  Sorry.

Um the Royals kicked the O's ass.  It is not a fucking act I was sad to see it.  You have two more Pennants than the O's have since 1983.  Why do you have to be a jerk?  You won, I would like to congratulate the Royals and wish them well but it seems you just want to rub it in.

Thank you :P

But hey the O's have won 2 division titles in 31 years, we are practically spoiled.

Thank you.  Now I hope they go beat the NL to at least make this whole thing worthwhile.

Why did that Giants runner leave from 3rd on a grounder with first base open?

Dudes - the series is not over yet.  Does no one else remember the 2004 ALCS?  :ph34r:

No we do not.  We deny it and cast it out with the other abominations that have no place in the true Pastime like "Red Sox Nation", "Cowboy Up" and vaginal-pubic-like beard growths.

Minsky, the Kansas City Royals are in the World Series.  There is no "true Pastime" anymore - what's down is up.  We're in an era where cats and dogs live together in harmony, together with some terrible hipster beards and words shaved into ballplayers heads.   :ph34r:

Yes, as a matter of fact it was.
