I’d love to see the Cards and Royals.

Me too. A good cross-state series and no "Big Market" teams. Even though I'm a NL fan, I'll root for the Royals. I love the way they play.

Part of me is envious of KC fans - not much torture in a four game sweep.

In KC in 85 we often called it The I-70 Series.

I am on top of the world. Been a fan since they started and knew Kaufmann when I was a kid and he was just getting started in the pill business.

The prices since then have been out of reach, so TV is the best I could do.

Crown seats for game one are going for $7500 on Tickets-For-Less. Maybe next time.

Just like 1985, the Missouri Series.”

With all the troubles in Ferguson wish they would move all their games out of Missouri.

Living in Maryland for years. seeing how little knowledge the locals have about the game, and how they only react to the scoreboard telling them when to cheer, I say LOL

They are lame

She’s a die hard Royals fan.”

I lived in KC and went to their games long, long ago. Remember outstanding players like Freddie Patek and George Brett. So glad these guys pulled it out. Hope they win it all.

As a diehard Yankees fan, who truly hated the Royals back in the George Brett days, I’m tickled they’ve won the AL Crown!

All you Cards fans want pay-back for game 6 in 85 don’t you?

LOL

That was a poor call, but it still stood and as we said gleefully you can’t say one call cost you the series.

I want to see the Cards WIN and the Missouri teams go at it again. I would love to be at my place in the Ozarks but I am too busy.

This play off games between the Yanks and Royals in the late 70s and early 80s were some of the best games ever played.
