Good luck watching various athletes and trying to figure out who are "good" or "bad" people. That seems like a strange way to watch, and it must be exhausting.Matt Kremnitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693430925266947705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-11658529449049557232014-10-20T09:47:00.521-04:002014-10-20T09:47:00.521-04:00Go home, anonymous.

Y..."a great group of players to root for"<br />Yeah what a great group of fine role models for the Baltimore youth to look up to.<br />Nelson Cruz--Cheater<br />Chris Davis--Cheater<br />Manny Machado--Bat throwing child who should have been suspended for the year.<br />Delmon Young---Another bat thrower who 'WAS' suspended for the rest of the year in the minors for throwing his bat at the home-plate umpire<br />plus he was suspended for pushing a different umpire on another occasion<br />not to mention his suspension and arrest for drunkedness and yelling anti-semitic remarks to a NY cop.<br /><br />Yes a great group of guys to root for.<br /><br />Of course this is from a city that thinks Ray Lewis is a hero and it doesn't bother them that he tried to cover up a murder investigation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-3907578221785881272014-10-16T12:36:18.855-04:002014-10-16T12:36:18.855-04:00Sure, it's disappointing that the season is ov...Sure, it's disappointing that the season is over, but what an excellent year. Attending Game 1 of the Tigers series at Camden Yards was thrilling!<br /><br />The Birds lost to the Royals with one-third of their lineup out. I expect Wieters, Machado, and Davis will be back next year. Gausman will be a front-of-the-rotation starter, and Bundy may well be part of that rotation.<br /><br />A very bright future ahead.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-51530709210134295082014-10-16T11:01:39.965-04:002014-10-16T11:01:39.965-04:00You know, as a lifelong fan from NJ, in a family o...You know, as a lifelong fan from NJ, in a family of Yankee fans and surrounded by others I can not describe this season. This only rivals the season 2 years ago, and that only beats it out due to sheer unexpectedness and ups-and-downs (late games, extra inning wins, more no-names working than ever expected [hello Lew Ford, Nate Mclouth, Robert Andino, and more]). That team will always be special in my mind for good reason, but this team will be up there too.<br /><br />Buck has done and proved so much to the fans that for years expected nothing but losses, headaches, off-field problems, and mockery. This team played their butts off and did something just 4 years ago I would have not even considered possible, in making it this far. Being considered on of the 4 or 5 best teams in the majors, and reaching the ALCS proved so many people the last 3 years weren't flukes, and Baltimore is a legit team.<br /><br />And then the players made it great too. Delmon Young? Signed to a minors deal that few thought would even make it out of spring training; well he only had what is possibly the biggest hit of the year to win a playoff game. Zach Britton? Left for dead as an odd-man out of the rotation, who only made the team based on being out of options and no real trade possibility in place; turned into a top 5 closer. Steve Pierce? Journey man who was there in 2012, but not at the same level as other names; turned into the breakout help we needed when problems arose, and always showed his hearty and passion until the last play of the season. Then you have Markakis finally getting his well deserved time in the playoffs and proving people with a fantastic ALDS and Game 1 of ALCS he is someone who many forgot about in the league and showed why he is beloved. Ryan Flaherty showed O's fans a lot with a fantastic postseason in both series. Caleb Joseph stepped in for Matt W, after he started his best season to date, and made us almost forget he was missing with great D and one hot stretch that was awesome a few moths ago. And Adam Jones playing at his same great level to lead a team on the field and emotionally, staying hungry and pie-ing faces, while getting some justice for his playoffs 2 years ago (no 100% but that was a big HR and he had a few other good hits, and the steal vs. DET.).<br /><br />This team was special. And although it hurts a lot nothing broke our way this series, and all the small plays that were normally even over a season, went their way in 1 series, I am happy with how this team played and turned out.<br /><br />Can't wait for next year.

I hope my Royals (who are for the most part humble, unlike the pinch runner you mention) and you all meet again next year the same time and place.
