Even by now voices were lost, many beverages were guzzled, and everyone (Mizzou and KU fans alike) were hugging, jumping, and spilling said beverages.

No one believed what was actually happening. Of course we knew the Royals had a chance (despite ESPN experts’picks), but Royals’ fans had spent over 10,500 days (if they were old enough) without witnessing not only winning a post-season game, but just playing in one.

If you were at the stadium and 29 years old, you were able to rent a car, buy a drink, fight in a war, vote and even remember when wearing Zubaz pants to Chiefs’ games was cool (oh wait, that still happens?)

But, say you had been to a Royals’ postseason game? Nah.

So, forgive us when the sixth inning arrived and it felt like Yost backed over the puppy we just brought home.

When he called for Yordano Ventura to replace a not-so-happy Shields with runners on first and second and nobody out, everyone basically went Kat Williams on him.

After Moss treated Ventura’s pitch like it had said something about his mother and deposited it in to the right field seats for his second home run of the game, I truly feared for Yost’s safety. I mean, I’m not a huge fan, but am against bodily harm to the guy unlike others in the crowd.

The A’s had regained the lead, 5-3, and would eventually put up a five-spot on the board. After failing to score in the bottom half of the sixth, the Royals would have to find some magic to complete one of the greatest comebacks in postseason history, trailing 7-3.
