This series we need something different. We're going to need something else. But part of what we need is you negative nancies to quit being negative, quit with the thumbs down, and get on board with this because we are winning, whether you want to get ahead of this and try to blame it on me if we don't or not.
LFG

This is a really young team without a lot of playoff experience. Hopefully that series against Baltimore gave them a taste of what this is going to be like. Because they all need to settle in; get comfortable and be at their best this week. [Reply]
Whenever you play such a long season, and get into the playoffs, of course you wanna keep going and win the whole thing.
But we are playing with so much house money right now, I hope the players can relax, enjoy the ride, score some runs, have fun and just play some good baseball. We do that, and we should be right there in the end.
The pressure should be all on the Yankees. Let them have it. Play loose and take it to those fuckers! [Reply]
As others have said, the bats need to wake up and the Royals score some runs. Playing with house money at this point. Maybe they can take a cue from Salvy (except don't swing at every pitch like he does), smile, laugh and enjoy the moment.
Get this first one and the pressure is squarely on the Yankees. I have so many memories of playoffs in the 70s and 80s and most were not great. Time for payback! [Reply]
