Royals2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 It has been a long 29 years.1985 was a great year. 2014 will be exciting maybe another I-70 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckieHoomever Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've got my fingers crossed for another I-70 series as well. (Go Cards!) Congrats Royals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkrause Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks! Good to know we're not the ONLY ones around here celebrating. Another I-70 Series would be really incredible, and it's still possible. Watching to see what happens. Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkrause Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Bigd, "I-70 Series" was just the nickname they gave the 1985 World Series between KC Royals and St. Louis... both of which are on opposite sides of the same state, joined by Interstate-70. It would just be fun if there were a re-match of the same teams. The '85 Series was pretty dramatic. Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydgirl Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yeah, other Royals fans in town! We were feeling very alone in our celebration. My husband is making Royals tee shirts for us as we speak. He's a genius stencil cutter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckieHoomever Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 No I-70 World Series this year. It'll be a Wild Card Series - Giants vs Royals. With my Cardinals out, I'm now a Missouri Royals fan. Heh. GO ROYALS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensley Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Go Giants! Maybe Wayne will get another World Series RIng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkrause Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 No I-70 Series, but that's fine. We have family members on both sides of the fence, so I'm hoping they'll get a nice trash talk session going. Sydgirl, we're thinking alike. I figure there's not enough time to buy & ship shirts down here before the series, so we're making our own as well. Making-do with the difficult fan environment. Hoping to just have ours printed at the T-shirt place. We'll be a small voice from a distance, but hopefully can add to the overall Royals energy level! GO ROYALS!

john everett Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Can someone tell me a bar or restaurant that will be showing the game today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkrause Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Would have to be someplace that's open fairly late, but it's on regular FOX (US) channel, so I'd guess anyplace with US satellite would have it? We never watch sports at bars, so I'm not familiar with who shows stuff like that. Maria Isabel's?? I've seen them showing sports there before... you might check with them. Their FB page shows that they had a US Football game on before: https://www.facebook.com/mariaisabelajijic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 The game starts at 6 PM our time and is also available on the Canadian Shaw Direct Satellite system. It's also viewable on old fashioned analog Telecable and on their new digital services in HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkrause Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Congrats to the Giants, who played an awesome game and series. Thanks to the Royals for an unexpected and incredible season, coming out of nowhere to thrill KC fans! After a nearly 30-year drought, we greatly appreciate what this team has done!

slainte39 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 That double play cut the heart out of the Royals. It would have been 1st and 3rd with nobody out. What a turnaround. I played and played at baseball for 22 years and watched a million games, and I've never seen a better defensive infield play in the most important and pressure laden game that anyone could ever play in. Kudos and more from a Royals fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Great game, great series. Lots of memories there. (Joe Panik! Best name in baseball....and yes, what a play!!!) And then there was Pablo Sandoval......AND......Madison Bumgarner. Wow. All down to the very last out in the seventh game. Can't ask for more than that. Yay to the Royals and all their fans. What a wonderful heart-filled team! Even as a native Californian I was (secretly) rooting for you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowyco Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 With all the Giant's misadventures on Gordon's last "triple" - I think I saw in just one replay, that the throw from left field was not even close to ready, when Gordon could have rounded 3'rd - which leads to an armchair-question. Given that Bumgarner was pitching so strongly - and that the home base ump was calling even Bumgarner's very low and away pitches "strikes" (6 inches outside the strike zone in both low and away directions - 3 times according to the computer box): Do you think Gordon should have rounded 3'rd at full speed and gone home ? Kudos to Panik for that awesome play that not only took away a key single, but triggered a double-play. Panik's play eliminated the problem of very fast runners at first and third, with no outs in the 3'rd inning. Think how the game would have been with 1 or 2 more Royals runs.Congrats to the Giants! What a great post season this was ! fun fun fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
