Good player Brett was but a total jerk as a person.

I prefer Saberhagen.

uh, he always came up in crucial situation against my Yanks, and he always got a hit. I love him NOW.

Remember Al Hrabosky, the Mad Hungarian? And I’ve got a mental block on the name of another Royal: sportscasters called him the Penguin because of the way he ran bases.

Our Royals are top notch from the head office on down and it's nice to hear that coming from ARod tonight!

Nice guys of character from Gen. Manager, Dayton Moore, on down.

They, in turn, not only pick quality players but men with character and steer clear of the prima donnas like the one Blue Jay who trashed our locker room because he didn't like the umps call, in the ninth inning.

BTW, when the B.Jays played here before heading up to Toronto, their visiting fans lobbed full cans of beer down at the guys heading in and out of the Royals players heading in and out of our doug out, so Toronto decided no sales of beer in cans - only plastic cups!

Real quality Toronto fans! And I used to believe Canadians were so nice and polite!

I may have thought Fred Patek because he wasn’t a great big guy either? Great fielder.

Yes Brett Saberhagen's a great guy but Jamie Quirk as well.

Lots of the former players still make KC their hometown!

If folks could have seen the Royals day in and day out the past 2 years, I can’t see how they would not think this is a good TEAM of players. I think it is partly because they have been together for 4 or 5 years. Gordon, Hosmer, Perez, Cain, Escobar. Teams just don’t keep all their guys together because of free agency. Most of these were real young when they started. Anyway, we are enjoying these moments immensely.

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why can't I?

2 bad calls favored royals. Fan interference on the Royals HR ball and the strike call on the Blue Jays in the 9th. That was clearly a ball.

Go Mets!
