The Royals' Cat Suit Guys are back and they've taken it to the next level

"We're a formidable team when we're down, we're coming back. We're the comeback cats, brother."

That is Royals fan Paul Long talking about the Royals -- who indeed came back from an early 1-0 deficit for a commanding 7-1 victory in World Series Game 2. But he could also be talking about himself and his friend John Stoner.

They were there last October for the Royals' first postseason since 1985, and now they're back to see if the Royals can win their first World Series championship in 30 years. To prepare for the occasion, they've stepped things up this year, with a Royals-blue beard and ... is that a Ric Flair cape?

Will they be back for Game 3? You'll have to watch to find out: Coverage begins on FOX at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday, with game time set for 8 p.m. ET.
