There is a rumor that the Kansas City Royals are bound for the World Series. Hard to believe, but true.

“Sue me.”

Nah, I’m rooting for KC too. Kinfolk there.

My son paid $600.00 each for Series tickets in 2004.

He has great memories.

They swept the post-season.

8 straight wins to get to the World Series.

Please send money. The prices for a World Series ticket was hovering around $1500 per at first pitch this afternoon. Pent up demand is a bitch.

Tell Freddie Patek that I am happy for him. I have never seen a player so disappointed when the Yankees beat them up in the late 70’s.

All I care about is that the Cardinals aren’t in it.

Yes, congratulations to the Royals and their fans, but the World Series has become meaningless. Honestly, I probably won't even watch it. There were 162 games in the regular season, and not one of the teams who went through that grind and won their division will go to the WS this year. The two teams who clawed their way to the top of their leagues over those 162 games, the Angels and the Nationals, were eliminated in the Division series. Baltimore and LA were likewise eliminated. If you provide a path to the World Series for a team that gets hot for only the last three weeks of the playoff season, you make the last six months of the regular season pointless.

TV is to blame. By creating division playoffs among three divisions, which necessitated a wildcard, and then by adding a second wildcard, TV has brought in more TV revenue, but the WS is the loser.

I think that the whole country shares your sentiments. It’s just a baseball game, but it’s much more when we compare with the nonsense that’s coming out of the White House.
