Looks like the idiot Texas Governor jumped the gun tonight-Spoiler.

He posted this before the game was over. Guess what...the Royals came back to win 9-6.

2. Power is good - can focus on sports/not policy. He got millions suing but

got caps on anybody else suing for accidents.

6. He'll be hated by them for jinxing them.

Lots of players and fans are superstitious about these things.

7. I have tickets for Wednesday's game! So excited! Nt

8. Hahaha!

Stupid republican governor!

Never count the Royals out EVER!

[SheilaT]

10. Yeah. As my son pointed out to

me before the first game, the Royals hadn't lost a playoff game in thirty years. Not many teams can boast that particular record.

[trumad]

11. Was he serious?

Because of course they've lost playoff games.

13. Before losing Game 1 to the Astros

The Royals had indeed not lost a playoff game to an American League team in 30 years, that being Game 4 of the 1985 League Championship Series against Toronto. It helps that (1) the Royals hadn't been in the post-season since then; and (b) they won every playoff game in 2014 against American League teams, beating Oakland in the Wild Card Game, sweeping the Angels in the LDS, and sweeping the Orioles for the pennant.

14. Smart kid---I learned something today.

[SheilaT]

15. Yep. Smart and funny.

For those of you who live in the Kansas City area, my sons both attended the Barstow School. As a fundraiser for the knowledge bowl club, they had a t-shirt printed up which said "Undefeated in football since 1884". The school was founded that year. Never had a football team.

9. I guess he followed that one up

Saying it was encouragement, not a prediction. Uh huh.

Have to admit, going to the 8th inning, I thought the Royals were cooked. Trailing 6-2, Minute Maid Park going nuts, and KC hadn't strung together two hits all post-season. Then single, single, single, single, single, error (really another single in my scorebook), and a bases-loaded ground out later, and KC is up 7-6. Amazing.

A two-run "oh, by the way" homer by Eric Hosmer in the ninth put the icing on the cake.

Don't quit on this team. My Royals never quit on themselves.

[trumad]

12. That's baseball.

[SidDithers]

16. Kick...

oops.
