MLB
 
For those that like Major League BaseBall, hope you are watching the Kansas City Royals!

Beat Oakland, one game play off.
Beat Angles 3 straight.
Won 3 straight over the Oriols and ahead 2-0 in fourth game. Win it today K C in World Series.

Go Royals!!!:cool:

Tom Earp 10-16-2014 09:42 AM

K C Royals win ALC. Close out Baltimore in 4 games!!!

Kevin 10-16-2014 01:25 PM

This is really strange.. all of the Royals fans on my social media suddenly exist? I guess the Royals are good this year?

--we don't have MLB in Oklahoma, so I don't really follow it.

DubaiSis 10-16-2014 05:07 PM

Kevin, it's true there are a lot of frontrunners who have come out of the woodwork in KC. I have been a Cubs fan FOREVER and became a Royals fan when I moved to KC in the 90's. While living in the Middle East I followed both. Moving to Orange County I tried to get behind the Angels but I just couldn't make myself care. So coming back to the Midwest, and feeling a bit like my ex got the Cubs in the divorce (not that it mattered but divorce makes you think weird things), I began to focus my attention on the Royals. And, you know, I moved back and they won. Just sayin. You're welcome, Kansas City.

summer_gphib 10-16-2014 05:29 PM

Well, we all know that I bleed Cardinal red. It's not looking good for us, but we are the Comeback Cards! So I still have FAITH. But if we lose, I'll be cheering on the Royals! :)

(And DubaiSis, I won't even start with my Cubs jokes. lol)

DubaiSis 10-16-2014 08:52 PM

The Cubs are their own punch line so there's no point. The Royals, on the other hand are no joke. And these guys are just one heart warming story every day. Did you hear Paul Rudd invited EVERYONE (meaning the city) to his mom's house for a party? I think that's awesome. But after the players last week covered the entire bar tab at a bar, I think some people feel like it's ok to be generous as they celebrate.

I didn't hear how the party went at Paul's mom's house, by the way. I'm sure it was a hoot.

AZTheta 10-17-2014 09:48 AM

Tom, good to see you (now pick yourself up off the floor, please because I have to knock you down again).

The Giants are going to be going all the way this year. Please! Having been a Giants fan since God was a baby; and freezing my a$$ off in that godforsaken excuse of a ball park known as Candlestick for way too many years, I have to say that.

Excited for this WS, I think it's going to be so much fun for both teams' fans. Then I have to suffer until college baseball starts in February. I'll just hibernate again.

xibair 10-17-2014 12:22 PM

Born and raised in San Jose, GO GIANTS...

Oh not to scare anyone, today is the 25th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. As I recall, I was in San Diego at the time.

Tom Earp 10-17-2014 12:51 PM

LOL, survey shows all 50 states like Royals! Even some Bay area likes the Royals!

Fellow G Cer in Bay Area picks Royal so got to stay with My Boys in Blue! Hell they are scrappers for sure! Small seems the way to go today!!

May the best team, ROYALS!!!

DubaiSis 10-17-2014 01:49 PM

You know AZTheta, I've always liked you, so i will be kind when we wipe the floor with you, starting on Tuesday.

Tom, do you have tickets or will you be hitting a watch party? I had way more fun at Power & Light than I expected. I may do it again for one of the games, depending on the schedule.

PKT4LIFE 10-17-2014 03:27 PM

GO GIANTS!!!!
I have a ticket for the Friday game!!!

Tom Earp 10-19-2014 10:28 AM

No tickets, but watching on big screen in family room!!!:)

K C has turned in to a sea of Royal Blue!!!

It is our time!:D

xibair 10-19-2014 10:41 AM

It's going to be a great series regardless who wins.

My husband is cheering on the Royals. Needless to say, he will be watching the game in another room.

AZTheta 10-19-2014 11:03 AM

Buster Posey.

Madison Burngarner.

Orange and Black, get back! xibair, your husband needs to go to another STATE. PKT4LIFE, I'm so jealous.

NinjaPoodle 10-19-2014 02:48 PM

GO GIANTS. The end. :)

DubaiSis 10-19-2014 08:04 PM

So there. Jewel agrees with me.

Do we really need to discuss this further? :cool:

DubaiSis 10-20-2014 12:05 PM

We don't need to discuss anything. Only time will tell!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlcIKh6sBtc Because I hate for you to go a week without hearing this song :)

I love San Francisco and I love the rivalry here. There are some cities that I would just want to destroy or be DEVASTATED if we lost to, but that's not the case against SF. From one foodie city to another, it's all good! Or it will be in a couple weeks when we #takethecrown #beroyal :D

Truely spoken DuaiSis!

Love San Fran, cannot afford to live there live K C is sublime and cheaper!!

They have Crabs, we have BBQ, out of this world! LOL!:D

Weather in K C for Tuesday game/ Wensday will be @ 72-75 during day. Don't get much better than that! Hello!!

For all of the Non Beleivers, The Royals are on a Roll!:cool:

Blue is in for the Fall, not Halloween Colors, it only comes once a year on one day!!!:D

BooYa!

AZTheta 10-20-2014 02:32 PM

You guys are talking out the sides of your necks. Blah blah blah… noise… what's that noise?

Seriously - side conversation - Tom -you are correct, the COL in The City is way beyond my means too and I grew up in the Bay Area. My mom was born in The City. My grandmother was in the 1906 quake and told us many stories about it.

KC Barbeque is tasty, I'm going to enjoy it. Orange and black is in style any time of year, you gotta just believe! Although it isn't in my color wheel (orange) and I do love royal blue. It makes my eyes super blue.

DubaiSis 10-20-2014 02:42 PM

See? Being a Royals fan makes everyone more attractive.
It appears that my viewing dates for the Wednesday night game are going to be my best friend and our pedicurist. 1-gotta love a pedicurist who delivers and 2-gotta love watching the Royals beat up on the Giants while my tootsies are getting a soak.

AZTheta 10-20-2014 02:54 PM

^^^ You are so CUTE! you crack me up. You Alpha Xis get to wear Double Blue - lucky. I got that godawful black and gold, but hey - it's close enough to orange.

DubaiSis 10-20-2014 03:13 PM

Just think about the Hawkeye Thetas! But actually I'm a fan of black and gold together. They're generally flattering on everyone as long as that gold doesn't stray into orange. Because orange is NEVER a winner :P

Hey! We have a song too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcjzHMhBtf0

xibair 10-20-2014 03:55 PM

This Alpha Xi is temporarily giving up her double blue for the next two weeks even though black, orange, and gold looks god awful ugly on me. But I will survive.

DubaiSis 10-20-2014 04:22 PM

But we'll always be Royal!

AZTheta 10-20-2014 04:31 PM

Aw…. you guys are so cute! I admit that is a perfect theme song for this world series. Now I have an ear worm.

By the way I have an SF Giants PANDORA BEAD. Do you? Maybe we could get a World Series bead - you think?

xibair 10-20-2014 04:44 PM

Too cute DubaiSis.
Please! people at work are wondering why I am laughing out loud and alone in my office.

Oh I want one of those SF Giants Pandora bead. Hmm, my birthday is in two weeks.

Back to my accounting corner.

DubaiSis 10-20-2014 05:11 PM

My Pandora beads (other than the ones that are color coordinated) are all travel related. I wear a necklace with airplanes and suitcases. And I have a bracelet that is all double blue and gold Murano glass beads (well, knock offs, but who's counting?)

My big problem is I really only have one blue shirt I can get away with wearing to work. Do I have to go shopping to be in blue every day?

DubaiSis 10-20-2014 06:03 PM

The Kansas City fountains are always beautiful (we are the City of Fountains after all) but all flowing blue they are especially pretty.

The pictures not showing fountains are The Scout and the WWI Memorial (known lovingly as The Dick).

AZTheta 10-20-2014 06:31 PM

Two words:

Golden Gate.

North Beach.

Coit Tower.

Transamerica Pyramid.

Pacific Heights.

The Presidio.

Lombard Street.

Cable Cars.

Tony Bennett.

Sourdough Bread.

I'd go on but then I would be accused of being… oh, nevermind.

NinjaPoodle 10-20-2014 11:54 PM

We have cute baby fans.

Ha! That just went off my Pandora. I couldn't stand it until I saw a YT vid of a girl singing it to the beat she made with a solo cup.

Well today is the big day and it's a beautiful day in Kansas City. My plan is to be watching the game and talking smack here.

Tom Earp 10-21-2014 02:32 PM

K C Amazing

ROFL!!!!! San Francisco Radio Stations Ban Lorde's 'Royals' for World Series

DubaiSis 10-21-2014 09:21 PM

Oh trust me, we heard ALL ABOUT THAT. The radio stations were making a huge deal of it here. They were also trying to stir up some shit. The fans were all like, hey, be true to your school. Of course they shouldn't be playing that song right now.

Did they mention that the actual KC Royals were the trigger for the song? The story goes that she saw a picture of George Brett in a Royals jersey and thought of the song. Earlier this year they made a big deal of her meeting George when she was in concert here.
