Opening Day Extra Innings Overflow Thread
Over 1,000 comments, huh? Talk about setting the tone for the next 161 games. Now lets get a win and move into first place.
[Note by royalsreview, 03/31/08 4:48 PM EDT ]
And now, you can consider this your postgame celebration thread as well. Trey-mendous work by the bullpen, including our man Tomko.
I'm amazed. Well done everyone.
Seriously though, I think we may have crashed the network if we had kept the original thread going. Post new comments here.

You are absolutely right
They showed some talent and...really...some true grit. Facing one of the best SP's in baseball and one of the best offenses in baseball, the Royals hung in there and kept plugging away, and came out on top. I really like our pitching and I think we have just enough offense to win half our games. Maybe more. The optimism meter is rising.

I don't think any of his home runs will stay in the park this year. No souvenirs for Cubs fans. They're all going onto the street. He might hit one or two into Lake Michigan.

The Cubs made a major miscalculation
They didn't account for all of the extra balls they'd have to buy because of Fukudome's home runs. That's going to push his true cost up really, really high. That could cripple the organization for years to come.

They completely **** their pants today. Buehrle impodes in the second, giving up 7 ER and not getting out of the inning. After a brief comeback, Dotel gives up 3 hits, 2 walks and 3 ER in the 8th to take the loss. Man, they are awful. It was fun to watch the last half of that game.

I think we'll take a step forward this year. I don't know if we'll be contending in 2009 (we may very well be), but you won't be looking forward to playing us. Should be some good games.
I probably disagree with you.

I wasn't looking forward to playing you guys last year. Seems KC always plays us and the Yankees tough.
Meche looked good again, today; that $55M continues to look like a bargain.
God truly does hate cleveland sports.

wow. awesome, awesome stuff.
i didnt see a single pitch of this one, was in school throughout, but awesome that we beat the detroit tigers in detroit.
i cant really believe it, actually. plus, it went into extras....
i have a feeling that this season is going to be a fun one, probably the most fun season of all time of a (most likely) non-contending team, at least in a true-fun sorta way, not a life-at-the-team fun sorta way that the past couple of season (pre 07) have been.

Call me Crazy but,
i see the royals finishing 3rd and possibly 2nd.. if all goes perfect. wildcard here we come!!! im just not a fan of that shitty bullpen in detroit.. ive heard it a thousand times and so have you, you can do good with a shitty bullpen. and plus im not real sold on that rotation. verlander will be good, cy young good. but rogers will suck he is too old and robertson sucks and bonderman is incosistant - one year he is good then the next he blows. and dontrelle is just a huge question mark
I love life. Life = Royals

Hey all
Great win for the Royals today. I'm still feeling under the weather (is anyone ever 'over the weather'?) but I should hopefully be back fully soon.

Get well soon
You need to come back and catch some Royals Fever!
I probably disagree with you.

Obligatory postgame positivity
Folks, quite simply, today was a winner. Coat this town in Royal Blue! And a win is a win and a win calls for celebration.
Temporarily....oh, but just temporarily....all is right with the universe!
Cheers!

I missed the 10th and 11th innings (had to go to a meeting) but . . .
GREAT JOB ROYALS!!! Keep up the good work!

I just finished watching the game on tape.
Wow, what a huge win. What a great game. And I was so glad to log on here and see this ridiculously large game thread! This will be a great year.
OK, she arrives late, but we've all missed her:
Isn't it nice to lose on opening day in front of your fans? Stupid kittens. Stupid loser kittens. Get used to it. Slugger is your daddy this year.
