2013 ROYALS: The Ultimate Roller Coaster

While the Orioles have certainly had their ups and down this season, they have at least hovered well above the .500 mark for most of the season (for the last 3 and-a-half months, they have been at least 5 games or more above .500.)

The Royals, on the other hand, have gone from 17-10 to 21-29, to 34-34, to 45-51, to 62-54, to 64-64, to their present mark of 73-67. :eektf:

Will they (somewhat similar to the Pirates this year and the Orioles last year) finally have their first winning season since 2003, and only their 2nd (winning season) since 1993 ???

Wow, that's a crazy season. Seems like every time they get their heads back above water, they crash.

They may have turned the corner now, though.

BTW, there is an ad for Discreet Home Deliver of Adult Diapers on the side of the page. I'm not really in the market for that kind of thing, and I don't think I've done any sort of related searches for it. LOL.

He got a "NO-DECISION", as his team did not win the game until Justin Maxwell hit a grand slam home run with 2 outs in the bottom of the 10th inning.

The roller-coaster season has ended for the Royals.

They didn't make the playoffs, but they finished with a solid 86-76 record, and their first winning season in 10 years.

    • I'll be surprised if it's not that trio with either Kremer or Gibson as the 4th starter if the Orioles need one during the playoffs. It's terrible Means was gone for nearly 1.5 years, but the plus side is his arm should be fresh.
    • If the Orioles can't get a good return and Norby doesn't win a job next spring, the odds may go up that he takes over in left in 2025 if the Orioles aren't going to pay both Hays and Mullins, or maybe neither.
    • 4 Ks and missed 6 bats. I missed the game tonight and it looks like he pitched well and he is certainly 3rd in the pecking order right now (which speaks to the staff more than anything) but I don’t have confidence in him vs top offenses if he can’t miss bats and strike guys out.
    • I think Kremer will be in the pen for the playoffs.   I think he can be a weapon out of the bullpen for us this year. Next year I imagine he will pitch in the rotation and continue to improve.  I see this guy pitching in MLB for a long time.  He has the drive and desire to be great.  He improves and adapts as he goes along.     I think they need to try and add and impact starter in the off-seasons and push competition.  I’d like to see two impact relief arms as well.     I’m not in the “the sky is falling” camp right now, but the last few weeks have shown the importance of high quality depth.  You can’t have too much talent. 
    • I bought tickets from the Birdland members presale. My wife and I have a 13-game plan. When it said you could only buy one set of tickets per series, I assumed that meant one pair for the Wild Card Series, one for the ALDS, and one for the ALCS. But I'm seeing people online say that they bought tickets for two games in the ALDS and one for the ALCS. I didn't realize that I could distribute my three games any way I wanted. Now I'm annoyed that I wasted tickets on two series that might not happen at all.
    • The Orioles have one more loss at home than on the road. So I would say about the same. The Rays on the other hand are .663 at home (53-27) vs. .553 on the road (42-34). The Orioles have Bradish and GRod going against the Nationals, at home, after a day off. They should win those games. If they win tomorrow, too, the deed would be nearly done by Wed. Winning tomorrow is not essential, they would be still in good shape with a loss. But it would help to avoid going deep into the week to resolve this.
