Ervin works out of it!

C'mon Alex. We need you down the stretch bud

Nice rip, Alex.

Such a sweet swing

Ouch, that had to hurt.

Damnit. Stranded 2 again

Neither the Chiefs nor the Royals have much of an offense this year.

Santana's pitching a whale of a game. Time for the offense to pick him up.

Can't believe their gonna bring Collins in with Santana around 80 pitches.

fucking Baltimore....

Who do we want to win that game?

Ah no ump. That wasn't a strike

Tampa. They are already in a WC spot and Baltimore is a game up on us in the chase.

Way to take one for the team Esky.

Damnit

****

That was ignorant. Must have been called from the dugout

No point in giving Alex a chance to drive you in there, moron.

I thought he was supposed to be smart? That was idiotic.

The runner is already in scoring position, why the hell do you try to steal with two outs?

If that was a called steal, ned should be fired.

This.

It looked like Esky was running too. Had to be called from the bench. Nope he wasn't. Just saw the replay

We're getting nailed on the bases left and right the last couple weeks. You might want to reign it in a little on the aggressive baserunning because we're running into too many outs.

What a game by Ervin tonight

Easy inning for Ervin

Free inning for Santana.

Wouldn't surprise me. It's far from the first time I've seen this team worry about advancing a runner from second to third.

You wouldn't think a dude who hasn't played much the last couple of weeks would have a green light to steal any base at any time

You wouldn't think a dude who has struggled all game long would be trotted back out to the mound in the 8th inning.

Welcome to Royals baseball.

Has Gordon been a bit disappointing this year, or am I being overly critical? I just hoped that he and Butler would just take the bull by the horns and really come up big in a pennant race, but they've been ok.

:cuss:

He's been streaky.

Sorry, I know we are trying to repress that memory. I just can't let it go.

Shitty offense

I wonder if he thought he saw a steal call on by Eddie. Misread a sign

Always possible. But you are the one who said it looked like Esky was running too. Did they both misread it?

I think he said after watching the replay, Esky was not running.

Win on a solo hr ill take it.

Yeah, apparently I quit reading before that part.

Who the hell knows with this team.

1 MORE LUKE

What's with the gay ass KU chant at the K?

Good work tonight by Santana.

Nice job by Luke to get it to the bottom half of the 8th.

PBJ

Nice!

w00t COOL HAND LUKE

Way to go Hoch.

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukeee

Someone let the douche squad out of Lawrence for the weekend? :shrug:

Billy, Salvy or Cain need to go yard here.

Gotta take this shit. Gotta have it.

So every team we needed to lose.....won. Right?

Smoked

Not sure how a pure hitter whiffs on that fastball

Come on Payrez.

****ing gay that they called the Indians game that early in 1 run game

Salvy!

Baltimore/Tampa tied in the 8th

I am all for trading Butler at this point if we can net a solid return. In my opinion he had his peak year last year. Would glad to be wrong and eat crow though

smoked again

but isn't that kind of a crapshoot game?

We need Baltimore to lose.

COME ON BABY

Hell yes Moose!

Yes!!

Come on Maxwell, drive him home

WHY pinch hit here?

Gotta get one here.

DLough hitting for Maxwell. First and third, 2 out.

LOUGH FOR THE WIN

Scratch that, come on DLough

Lefty to hit the RH pitcher?

And .405 w/2 outs and RISP.

Left right matchup

Come on, DLough!!

lets go Lough

Rich lady in pink looks bored..

Come on Lough

Oh the stress.....

Full count

Good AB
