If the start time would have been 1:30, we'd be in trouble. At 1:10, the rain was just insignificant enough to allow the game to start. Now, we'll be able to keep playing unless it really comes down hard.

Joyce can go **** himself with a baseball bat

someone needs to kick Joyce in his testicles right before the game starts ... dam.

According to Denny, the strike zone today is huge.

hopefully huge strike zone means fast game

weather is total shit and going to get worse

3 k's

Not giving up runs to the Rays in the 1st = we lose

The Rays did not hit any home runs or score at all in the 1st inning.

We're ****ed.

:cuss:

+1

Slowpoke :p

Since the long ball isn't going to be an issue with todays weather Santana should be balls once again.

Denny said KC wind chill is worse than Anchorage AK today...

The Rays are not going to FLA after the game, they head to Denver where it is colder for a series with the Rockies.

Rex Hudler's the best. He just described current weather in Kansas City as "the rain-like conditions."

No, just made some runs this morning. I was planning to go to this game after I missed the Shields game, but the weather kept me in.

Billy looks like he caloried up before the game

had to make sure he would stay warm

I think something is wrong with my MLB AT Bat app for the IPAD. It shows the teams playing in a nice, sunny, warm background.

how the **** do Santana's fingers not go numb?

Santana with 5 K's through two innings...that's pretty nasty.

5 Ks through 2....Santana dealing like a boss

I wish Hud's mouth would go numb

Put a tarp out.

WHAT A MISS

Put us up Moose

Frency WALKED?

Were none of the pitches in the same zip code?

Keep running Hosmer!! JFC

Hosmer = Dave Magadan

Stop it

runs at a premium


make it count

;)

I would take Dave Magadan. I think he is more JT SNOW.

Can he go have more eye surgery?

Snow had power. Hosmer's lost his, and is hitting everything to left. Hence...

LOU PINIELLA'S COUSIN.

Eye transplants ... from TED WILLIAMS' FROZEN HEAD.

For giggles, I went back to look at Magadan's stats. Season high HR? 6 Season high doubles? 28 Career season averages? 4/22

I remember when I was young, thinking he was a good hitter (BA driven). How times have changed.

Hud is moist.

Oh, yeah, I love going through stats at baseballreference.com of players who as a kid in the 70s and 80s I thought were good, because they hit for avg. or stole a lot of bases, and look at the advanced metrics and see they were mediocre at best. I'm like :facepalm:

Nice move Santana

Score here, get 6 outs, call the game: win

How long will they play? Puddles on the dirt with the rain looking to continue for a while.

Safe!

RBI single and let's get the remaining is for the W

Bring him on home Alex

3-0 to Alex. Swing away, baby....

Elliot Johnson has been killing it lately

EJ folk hero

GO!

Who's pitching, Hernandez or Carbona? Which voice in his head gets the loss today?

If they get thru 5 and someone has a lead, this is getting called.

There it is.

THERE IT BE. 1-0 Royals

Okay...lets get this to the 5th inning quick.

Tune in and we score the first run. I'm good luck.

Yes. 1-0 Good guys!

Hell yeah

Gordo!

NICE!!!!


Johnson manufactures a run

LMAO There are less than 2000 people there.

To the 5th inning!!!

KC ground crew needs to earn their keep.

Prepare the giant squeegee.

Six up, six down now Ervin.

Lol, Billy well studied in classic rock. /joel

Anyone else hear all 15 people chanting "Billy, Billy"? LOL

That's not playing a guitar. It's masturbating.

Holy shit, the 3rd base close nearly got killed.

flipping bacon


LMAO

Air Bacon

Some people know me as George Blowfish, but my real name is Ian Cognito.

AL might correct me on this. But I think they only have to get through 4.5 innings with the Royals leading.

You have to wonder if there's a gentleman's agreement between managers and the umpires that if someone has a lead after 5, everyone goes home.

Billy "Air Bacon" Butler....

alright ... move this shit along guys


need to get a couple more innings in quickly


they have maybe an hour more?

Pork Bellies Butler

Looks miserable.

I was JUST thinking along those lines, although it was more of "I wonder if the umps have decided ahead of time that this will be a 5-inning game." I was thinking they might not tell the managers, though. :D

I couldn't be more enthused after learning Billy was cooking bacon.
LET THAT BOY COOK
BASED FOR LIFE

this weather is some BULLshit
