Kansas City Royals have come a long way in a month
One month ago a pretty valiant war cry from Kansas City rang out from fans as the boys
in blue battled for first place against the Detroit Tigers. Everyone was getting excited that, for the first time in 29 years,the Royals were going to the playoffs.
Now, the Kansas City Royals are one game away from making the World Series.
"Just be happy to be there" had to be the mentality of most analysts across the baseball world. After Oakland took a 7-3 lead during the Wild Card playoff game, that's also what a majority of fans were saying. Twitter was littered with comments like, "it's over," "Yost just lost that one!" and "Good season. No Blue October."
That's when the magic happened. Slowly, they climbed back into the game. Run after run they tied up the game pushing it into extra innings. Finally, in the bottom of the 12th inning an ice-cold Salvador Perez snuck a ball past Oakland's third baseman and the
When they clinched a playoff berth Sept. 26 against the White Sox, the champagne flowed like the fountains Kansas City is famous for. For the first time in nearly three decades, the Royals were going to the playoffs. So why not celebrate like they just won the whole thing?

The rest is history. A clean sweep of the Angels was a thing of beauty. The Royals looked possessed as they dismantled a powerful team that donned the best record in the regular season.
After a weekend in Baltimore, the Royals have returned home with home a 3-0 lead in the American
League Championship Series, one game away from a World Series return 29 years in the making.
The boys in blue are playing with a confidence that is unbelievable. The Royals are playing the kind of baseball a fan gets to see once in a lifetime.
The kind of baseball stories are written about and movies are made about. Jarrod Dyson
said the series wouldn't return to Baltimore. Baltimore might be putting that up on the bulletin boards as motivation. I would say that if it's taking the Royals' fourth outfielder to motivate them, rather than the 0-3 deficit, the Orioles won't last much longer.

Kansas swimming and diving dominates at Freestyle Festival

The Kansas swimming and diving team opened up the regular season on the road against the University of Nebraska-Omaha at the Freestyle Festival. The meet solely consisted of freestyle individual events, diving events and two relays.
["UNO head coach Todd Samland] proposed the idea of a freestyle festival, so all of our individual events will be freestyle events," Kansas coach Clark Campbell said. "We'll have the 50, 100, 200 and 500 as individual events. Then we will do the diving events, followed by the 200 and 400 medley relay."
Also different for this meet is that individual athletes can only score in one event.
"This will give a number of athletes the opportunity to swim freestyle events that they might not normally get to do," Campbell said. "It's a fun way to open the year and it's something we've never done before."
Kansas defeated UNO 99-41

and won every event except the 3-meter diving event.
Junior Chelsie Miller won the 500-yard freestyle in 5.01.44.
Sophomore Yulduz Kuchkarova won the 50-yard freestyle event. She finished with a time of 24.77.
Freshman Hannah Driscoll got first place in the 100-yard
freestyle in 53.30.
Junior Haley Molden won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1.52.10.
Sophomore Graylyn Jones won the one-meter dive event with a score of 237.44.
A Kansas team comprised of Kuchkarova, junior Bryce Hinde, sophomore Pia Pavilic and driscoll won the
200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:45.87. The same team won the 400-medley relay at 3:53.82.
Next up for the lajahawks is a double dual with Denver and Missouri State on Oct. 24-25.

Royals move to 3-0 lead against Orioles
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals have embraced the bloop, bunt and sacrifice fly all postseason.
Kansas City will send Jason Vargas to the mound for Game 4 on Wednesday, trying to advance to its first World Series since 1985. Miguel Gonzalez will try to help the Orioles stave off elimination.
Add in more sparkling defense and that dominant bullpen, and the wild-card Royals are suddenly one win from the World Series.
Third baseman Mike Moustakas made two marvelous plays as the picture-perfect Royals won their 10th straight postseason game, including all seven this year. Making its first playoff appearance in 29 years, the only thing that's slowed Kansas City so far was a rainout Monday.
Billy Butler drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, and the Royals' steel-curtain bullpen shut down the Baltimore Orioles the rest of the way for a 2-1 win Tuesday night and a commanding 3-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.
The Royals' Jeremy Guthrie and Orioles' Wei-Yin Chen hooked up
in a tense pitching duel for five innings.
Chen gave up a leadoff single to Nori Aoki in the sixth. Eric Hosmer followed with a one-out single to put runners on the corners, and Orioles manager Buck Showalter brought in hard-throwing reliever Kevin Gausman to face Butler.
The Royals' designated hitter sent a fly ball to left field for the tiebreaking run — just the latest example of Kansas City doing the little things right.
After winning pitcher Jason Frasor breezed through the sixth, Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis nailed down the next two innings. All-Star closer Greg Holland worked a perfect ninth for his third save of the series, setting off a wild celebration in the stands.
One of the best bullpens in baseball took care of the rest
One of the best Dumpins in baseball took care of the rest — the relievers combined with Guthrie to retire Baltimore's final 16 batters.
It was the 13th game to be decided by one run this postseason, matching the record set in 2011 and tied last year. Six games have gone to extra innings, including the Giants' 5-4, 10-inning victory over the Cardinals hours earlier in the NLCS.
