OK, who you got?

While watching sportcenter I saw a chunk of the team at a basketball game showing off their trophies. I think their focus is lost and they are buying into their own hype.

Royals win only one game.

They've been making stops all around the KC area as a team all playoffs. From Chiefs Monday Night Football games to other events.

This isn't new and it's an area rally tool. It's a different sports culture than we have out here where someone like you sees it as odd or simply happy they made it.

I'm sure that the basketball game wasn't the only appearance. It only reinforces my opinion that they will suffer from it.

Both good stories. KC winning like they have after sucking for years and the Giants repeating like the legendary Yankees.


Go Giants bring another trophy to California


So SF in 7.

The Royals will go undefeated in the playoffs.

Again, they've been making these stops all playoffs. It hasn't hurt.

Not to mention thinking an undefeated team in the playoffs is going to suddenly slip up because they made an event appearance is absurd. You don't ride a hot wave then four wins from a title mail it in.

Talk to the Rockies.

 

Absurd, huh. Ok.

[Brandon]

Yeah, had nothing to do with the Red Sox playing better.

 

The Rockies lost because they showed up to a college basketball game.

[Hollyw00d]

Giants win in 6

lol, ok.

[Hollyw00d]

The giants have been there, done that.

they soundly beat the nationals, who I think are better than KC, and they steamrolled the cardinals, who I also think are better than KC. If the giants win a game or two in KC, I think the royals will start to doubt themselves and the pressure will get them. SF also has a huge mismatch in the managerial game and strategy.

KC had a nice run but I think the giants are the better team and built for these kinds of situations

[ItzTacosYerrp]

Ibañez hitting 5th

[Troll Daddy]

We all know in our hearts the Royals are running the table ... sweep for KC

I'm a west coast fan so I'll be rooting Giants!

[2002_halos_II]

SF already announced their starters.

 

 

SO what happened to Timmy Lincecum(sp) this year?

[Hollyw00d]

He sucked

[ELEVEN]

If the series started this weekend I would go with the Royals unbelievable momentum.

But they will be waiting long enough to cool off before Tuesday. (I think that got that Rockies team too, when they had to sit a while after their hot streak).

The Giants could start Bumgarner on his regulare rest in game 1 if they choose to. Setting up a possible game 4 and 7 start if nescissary.

The Giant fans basically re-signed him, but he's still just an an overall bad pitcher plus the Royals would steal about 10 bases off him.

Madison Bumgarner will start Game 1 - Jake Peavy will start Game 2, while Tim Hudson and Ryan Vogelsong will get the following two games.

I loathe the Royals. I think they'll get swept.

[JoJo26]

Who will piss off Doyer fan more?

Hmmmm

 

GIANTS IN 5!

Dynasty!

[Diaz15]

Royals in 4

[Jimmag]

Royal with cheese.

Would love to see sweep think it will be in 6.

[laagamer]

Giants in 4

[ten ocho recon scout]

Tough one to predict. Neither is the 'favorite'. Both probably 'shouldnt' be there, which makes both dangerouse, IMO. Teams that have to fight harder to be there are tough, and in this case, neither had an easy road to get there.

Regardless, it should be a good series. Id say KC, because of bullpen and i think better offense. The giants though have the track record.

Hope KC because im an AL fan. If the giants win it pisses dodger fans off though

[Brandon]

Royals have HFA, too. Which has been nuts with regards to atmosphere and the players feed off of it.

[Brent Maguire]

FWIW, Fangraphs has the Royals' odds of winning the WS at 57.9%.
