Just as expected, the game is a sellout and they're hawking standing room only. This town will support a decent baseball team. KC is a baseball town, period.ucantdoitdoggieSTyle2 wrote:War Wagon wrote:George Brett 'pine tar' commemorative T-shirts they're handing out to "the first 20,000 fans who show up."
Will they be giving away the unclaimed 13K shirts for games 3 and 4?
Please tell me someone gave you these tickets. You don't pay to see the Royals, do you?
That said, pulling the roll over and die like tits up bitches act won't fly very well here, either.
KC started Scott fucking Elarton, just off the DL, and anybody who knew one goddamn thing about baseball knew exactly what the result of that experiment would be.
Six runs in 1-2/3rds innings and the rout is on.
No, I didn't go to the game. But if I had, I would've grabbed the T-shirt and then bailed.
I'm a loyal fan, but I'm not into total public humiliation and giving up without a fight. That's obviously what the Royals game plan was the first two games of this series.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
