would you think that legging out singles, taking the extra bag, or stretching a single into a double is luck?
yeah, they're the sorts of events I'd designate as involving luck (since you're struggling with the definition of luck, I hope you don't struggle with the definition of sarcasm).

There have def been games that things have gone their way, but that can be said for any team in the playoffs.
With this sentence, you've done three things:
1 - You've described a definition of luck: things have gone their way is code for, things someone couldn't have expected to happen normally in their favour actually turned out to do so = they got lucky. If such non-normative things - like a throwing error on a routine ground ball leading to 2 runs (game 4 vs. Baltimore), or a pitcher being unable to find 1st base for the final out of an inning, a failure which precipitates 4 runs being scored (game 3 vs. SF) - could be expected to happen in the normal run of things, then they wouldn't stand out to be described as something having gone a certain someone's way to begin with.
2 - By acknowledging KC's had luck, you've completely undermined your previous responses (esp. the second, itself a clarification of your first): What is the luck you speak of? That was why I called the statement vapid. Your acknowledging they've had *things go their way* reveals this questioning of what luck they've benefitted from as moronic.
3 - In service of your pov, you've tried to dilute this admitting to KC having had luck by constructing a straw man (that can be said for any team in the playoffs). My original post didn't concern itself with any other team but KC. My original post didn't assert that no other teams had benefitted from any luck. Therefore bringing up the fact that other teams have also benefitted from luck is completely irrelevant to taking issue with my having asserted the luck that KC had benefitted from was going to run out.
At this point I've wasted enough time on your muddled ramblings.
