ChiefsPlanet - ***OFFICIAL Kansas City Royals Vs. Oakland A's Post Season Wild Card Thread 9/30***

Game was awesome, glad I attended it in person. No voice left after also going to the Chiefs Game last night. Still haven't made it home and I have to work at 8,bit I don't care, so worth it.

Congrats on the win from this Cardinals fan. Here's hoping for another I-70 series.

What a game.

Brandon Moss has a career TERRIBLE line against lefties. So bad.

Finnegan should have been the guy to come in and get ONE out.

Now, he was instrumental later for 7 outs...

but that's not the point

After Shields came out in the 6th...you either stay with him there, or bring in a LOOGY

Plain and simple.

Bring in Ventura after the LOOGY if you'd like, and if he sucks, he sucks...

I had a HUGE problem with bringing in a righty against Moss with 2 on there...terrible decision.

Pretty sure I called this last week and you guys shit on me Bring Finny in as a Loogy and go from there. Not downplaying what Finny did tonight, but if Ned brings in Finny in the 6th, this game doesn't go 12.

Just got home from the bar.

Drunk.

Exhausted.

Hung out with Jeremy Guthrie and his dad, got a beer from Danny Duffy, high-fived Brandon Finnegan, and saved Josh Willingham's kid from getting his fingers chopped off in a fan outside the clubhouse tonight.

I'll try to post some pics tomorrw, know i got Shields sipping from a champagne bottle and Finnegan hanging out with his parents.

We got Yosted and it didn't even ****ing matter. Bulletproof!

Anyone think George Brett is sad that the A's have eclipsed his 'shit your pants' anecdote?

Its 5am and I finally got back home in DSM.

That game was bananas.

I'm going to go collapse in bed now.

But Ned pulled a lot of strings late, nearly all that worked. So who knows

Like I said...if he wants to give the entire 6th to Ventura, ok...

After he went back to shields, who had no idea how to get 2, 3 and 4 out...

He HAD to get a lefty up and ready for moss in case he did exactly what he ended up doing (putting Fuld and Donaldson on).

What he did was classic Ned bullpen shit that honestly should've cost us a playoff game. It was tragically bad. No manager other than Ned does that.

Literally every other manager goes Duffy or Finnegan there. You don't ignore splits in a playoff game.
