Report: Royals And Chiefs Concessions Are Disgusting, Unhygienic Mess

Dolphins, Chiefs Agree To London Games In Hopes Of Hosting Super Bowl
The NFL has unveiled its 2015 "International Series"—three games to be played in London's Wembley Stadium, three teams forfeiting the competitive and financial advantage of a home game. Why on earth would anyone want to be the "home" team in London? Here's the really simple answer:...
The Chiefs' Travis Kelce Might Be The Next Revolutionary Tight End
The best NFL offenses are lousy with new-breed tight ends—guys like Rob Gronkowski, Julius Thomas, and Jimmy Graham, the dudes who bust up defenses with an unfair blend of size, speed, and pass-catching ability. And while you can't really tell from the raw numbers, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is...
Yordano Ventura Doesn't Seem Too Sad About Losing The World Series
Yordano Ventura pitched an exceptional game Tuesday night, holding the Giants to three hits over seven innings as the Royals won 10-0 to tie the World Series up at three games apiece.

Rapper and Yay Area ambassador E-40 is a big San Francisco Giants fan, and he had some nice seats behind home plate for the World Series. Last night, he posted a video of Pablo Sandoval's series-ending out from his perspective....
No, Alex Gordon Could Not Have Scored On The Misplayed Ball
Alex Gordon's ninth-inning, two-out single left Kansas City with the tying run 90 feet from home plate thanks to Gregor Blanco's colossal misplay in the outfield. Some, however, have begun the hand-wringing that maybe Gordon could have scored, had he sprinted the entire way and been sent from thir...
How Much Madison Bumgarner Are We Going To See Tonight?
It took the Royals about an hour to put away Game 6 last night, leaving us all plenty of time to start thinking about how each team plans to set itself up in Game 7. One question looms larger than all the others: How much is Madison Bumgarner going to pitch?...
Madison Bumgarner Was The Best Version Of Himself Last Night
Madison Bumgarner, who now owns one of the best World Series résumés of any starting pitcher in history, was a monster last night. He's been a monster throughout the postseason, of course, but last night gave us a good look at the scariest version of the stoic lefty. ...
Madison Bumgarner Should Be Illegal
Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner's biggest weakness is the start of the game. He holds a 5.73 ERA in the first inning this season, and a 2.49 average in the rest of them. The Royals did not get to Bumgarner early. They did not get to Bumgarner at all....
Sad Chiefs Fan Finds A Nice Spot To Lie Down In The Parking Lot

Marlins Man And Royals In Weirdest Feud Of The World Series
The silliest feud of the World Series isn't taking place on the field, but in the seats behind home plate. That's where Marlins Man, super fan Laurence Leavy, sits. But is he even a Marlins fan, and did the Royals resort to bribing to get him to move?...
Unraveling The Confounding Reputation Of Royals Manager Ned Yost
Ned Yost has led the Royals to their best two-season stretch in a quarter century and put the 19th highest paid major league team in the World Series. But rather than garnering manager-of-the-year consideration, Yost gets shat on. Why is that?...
Hunter Strickland Was Mad Because He Couldn't Understand Salvador Perez
The most exciting moment in the top-to-bottom pivotal sixth inning came when Kansas City broke things open at the expense of Giants' fireballer Hunter Strickland, who is, according to Bruce Bochy, "a really intense kid." Yeah, we saw....
Tim Lincecum Missed The World Series Intros Because He Was Barfing
Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum was absent for the introductions before Game One of the World Series last night, and no one knew why at the time. Was he fed up with his minuscule role in San Francisco's bullpen? Was there a fight in the clubhouse? Nah. He was just puking....

Struggle
It's stupid to distill a baseball game down to a single play. They're a complex, evolving series of discrete events. If you were going to try, though, Game 1 of the World Series would maybe look something like this. ...
