Say what you will, after the Royals lost by one point to the Boston Red Sox in Boston yesterday, after Boston's awful experience first with the bombing and then rounding up the two reputed, suspected bombers, it seems possible, at least, if not plausible that the team threw Saturday's game, in the face of it all.
As Tony's Kansas City Blog reported:
KANSAS CITY ROYALS CONSPIRACY!!!! INTERNETS SAYS THEY THREW THE BOSTON RED SOX COMEBACK GAME YESTERDAY!!!
(link below)
Out of a weekend threesome, the Royals went on, today, Sunday, to beat the Sox 2 out of the three weekend games.
In the one we lost yesterday, we were ahead much of the game. Then the Sox hit in a three run homer and it was over, ending with a 4-3 loss.
Conjecture?
Sure.
We'll never know and maybe it's silly and maybe it's legitimate but it at least looks possible.
If so, good for Boston.
If so, I'd like to not ever think these games are thrown for anything but things like this.
And that rarely.
Very rarely.
