To quote the great Walter Matthau and one of his classic lines from Grumpy Old Men: “Holy Moly.” Did anyone see this coming?!? How about
them Royals?!? HOW BOUT DEM ROYS???
Another game, another nail-biter, another night of extra
innings and ANOTHER hero emerged. These Kansas City Royals are so fun to watch.
Seemingly built for the playoffs, THEY NOW HAVE A 6 GAME WINNING STREAK IN THE
POSTSEASON, dating all the way back to when Reagan was President, Blockbuster
was a week old, and Nintendo had just been released. In the playoffs, ALL THE
ROYALS DO IS WIN.
Last night’s hero was Eric Hosmer after blasting his 2-run,
11th inning home run. Mike Moustakas provided the winning run two nights ago,
and Salvador Perez did the same on Tuesday. Yordano Ventura and Jason Vargas
(plus all of the Royals relievers) have been pitching so well that it should be
illegal. Ventura in particular threw numerous pitches over 100 MPH last night.
Brandon Finnegan got his first playoff win, Greg Holland got his second save. Forget
GI Joe, THESE are the real American Heroes:

To top off the Greatest Week in Kansas City Sports since
1985, the Detroit Tigers choked away their playoff game yesterday against the
Orioles and are now in an 0-2 hole in the postseason. You suck idiots! Below is
a pic of an actual Tigers fan. What a loser.
The Royals are captivating America and it is glorious. All
eyes will be on KC on Sunday as the Royals host the Angels in Game 3 of the AL
Divisional Series. The Royals have a chance to sweep the Angels and move on to
the AL Championship series. Wow! Just typing those words is amazing. Even my
brother is taking notice of the Roys (weird fact: I never once called them the ‘Roys”
until this season. No idea why). He told me he has watched more baseball this
week than in the past 10 years combined. I believe it, and I am glad that he is
back as a fan. And I don’t know about you but I am going to continue riding
this Royals wave as long as I can!!!!!!!!!!!
