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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
