Seems easy to support your baseball team when you don't have an NFL team to support.

I mean, considering how toxic half the Cardinals fanbase is, yeah, I like my franchise better.

Shhhh, don't bring up that fact. Most STL fans will hold that "trump" card without realizing it. When you point it out to them it's really fun to watch their faces.

I went to their opening day yesterday. The stadium was half empty after the 5th inning.

Ugly game last night. I didn't like the matchup of Young vs. that lineup, especially considering how they have been waiting for a piece of our ass all offseason. Went about the way I imagined, except for the offense only scoring two runs on 12 (13?) hits. Not good enough.

I like Chris Young as a pitcher, but I just don't know if I like him as a starter. He's a savvy vet, but in reality he only has two pitches with no velocity. He's the perfect long relief/bullpen guy. I hope Dayton is working at getting him replaced in the starting rotation. Am I wrong to feel that way?

And oh yeah, **** that greasy looking Colby Rasmus. Looks like he's on teh roids. PISS TEST HIM IMMEDIATELY.

You are talking about in Houston? Because I will call you a flat out liar on that.

Houston's BATs are red hot right now. Look for the royals to take 2 games. Their weakness is pitching, we are going to have to win this by pitching better.

Dude right now they have like 5 guys over .300 BA, and 1 over .500 BA

Fans like that are why I hate the Cardinals. **** 'em all.

Yeah, I saw that. Bunch of guys with at least 3 HR's already, as well. They're a good young team to be sure. I expect them to be in the mix in the postseason.

FYP

^ Good catch

You just started reading this thread at post #244, didn't you?

If you had read the dozen or so posts prior to that, you would have realized he was talking about the Cards.

Honestly, I'll be pleasantly shocked if KC wins 2 games there. That stadium combined with the Astro's lineup is a bad fit for us. This is why the feeling of doom and gloom existed after losing game 1 in KC in the ALDS last year. If memory serves we(at least during current times)have one win at that stadium over the past several years, at least. That one win was a historic comeback.

Typical Cardinals fans:

Fellas, I can't even find the ****s to care what ANY opposing fan(s) think about the Royals. Our window is open for a couple of years. I can enjoy that.

Doesn't mean you can't be critical of the team and players when they **** up,, but if you're all swole up over that write up? Thicken thy skin.

Back-to-back pennants and defending world champs.

Dipshit fan got 2006 and 2011 wrong. Some Cardinal fan that turd is.

From 1986 to 2015:

The Cardinals ended a year worse than .500 eight times and only had a streak of two seasons underwater.

The Royals had 20 seasons below .500 and sustained a streak of nine years without meeting or breaking even in that same span.

****ing BFIB asshat.

Jesus.

Jesus very well may have left the game early.

Call me whatever you want, it doesn't change the facts.

Lol!

I've managed to poach an account for foxsportsgo app. Although I've googled this question and the returns were negative:

Is there a way to chrome cast the foxsportsgo app?

That's from awhile ago, but it's the only thing i could find on it.

After reading that, it appears the school he is attending outside of St. Louis is a high school.

The Royals have just announced that MLB has given them permission to wear their gold trim uniforms at every Friday home game for the rest of this season.

Poach an account?

Also a Google Fiber user?

No google fiber. I'm cable free. I stream all the MLB games for free through a KODI enhanced Firestick and Amazon firetv box.

A friend gave me their login/PW for their cable account and I can now watch the games at work as they don't have access to FSKC.


So, I can log in but would like to cast the stream to a tv at work so everybody can watch. Apparently, FSGO doesn't have chrome cast support.

WHEN DO WE GET OUR GODDAMN ALNORTH GAME THREADS?

Maybe thursday?

Thank goodness. Do work, my friend.

I haven't tried it, but I have a Google Cast app on my phone that will cast whatever is on my phone's screen.

I can try it when I get home if that helps.

Sweet!

Now I gotta get one with the powder blues.

SO PUMPED. Those just looked too beautiful. It's been a while since the Royals have incorporated a non-blue color in their uniforms. Probably not since those futuristic uniforms they wore against the Mariners in 99 (I think).

Thanks Dart!! Lemme know if that works.

I don't think the powders will be trimmed. They only wear them on Sunday. Or so I thought.

Will do. It will be later though. I'm bowling right after work tonight.

For real.

I don't understand all the bashing of Royals fans for not showing up during losing seasons. Look around you. When teams win, fans show up (except in Tampa Bay). When teams lose, fans don't show up. Nobody supports losing teams except for maybe the Cubs fans. The Cardinals haven't been lousy long enough in recent years to even know if their fans will show up or not.

Also, I don't understand the Cardinals fans bragging about their 11 World Series titles. They've been around for like 500 years.

World Series titles since the Royals franchise began in 1969:

Cardinals - 3
Royals - 2

WOW. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Personal fact regarding my group of friends. When the Royals were losing we went to 20-25 games a year. Now we all go to about 10-15 because it's become far more of an event. We used to head to the K on the random and score seats for peanuts. Now it's to see certain match ups, crown seats, playoffs, etc...

I travel weekly and I must admit here is a personal dichotomy happening when i see all the casuals wearing royals championship gear, but also know that the revenue and huge upswing in the fan following is a positive for our team.

Tl;dr

I can understand where a rival baseball team would roll it's eyes at the Royals gargantuan upswing in local popularity

World Series titles since 1969:

Yankees - 7
A's - 4
Giants/Red Sox/Reds/Cardinals - 3
Royals/Phillies/Marlins/Blue Jays/Twins/Dodgers/Mets/Orioles/Pirates - 2

Unless you're a Yankees fan, bragging about World Series titles doesn't hold much weight.

I'm kinda hoping they do the gold lettering on them though. That would be so sweet.

@FlannyMLB: Kyle Zimmer expected to start throwing sides again this Friday. #Royals

**** yes

Love it!!!!

This is awesome

Works great. The app is Google Cast. There's a menu option to Cast Screen.

I have an Android phone so I don't know if it works on iPhones, if that's what you have.

Have you looked into mirrorcast?

Dart!! Thanks much. Y too scurvvy. Got it covered now.

Minor has had a checkered injury past _ with some fluke injuries - but when healthy, he does have top of the rotation upside.

Lefties with great changeups can do work.

Will be interesting to see how Zimmer's sides go. If he just kicks off and keeps pitching, it's possible this was just dead arm striking a little later than normal.

Not hopeful, though.

Did Minor throw that hard before the injury? I thought he was a low 90's...location lefty.

Corrected his tweet....

@FlannyMLB: Kyle Zimmer expected to start throwing sides again this Friday and be placed on the 60 day DL no later than Monday.#Royals

It probably will to an extent. The screen casting is spotty, and laggy. Get about the same quality feed from strikeout.co or something similar. Also, if you lock your screen, the cast stops. I've been a faithful user of the chromecast since its release, but this is one of few complaints I have.

???

It's ok I can hear it in your voice, so just go on ahead and admit it. You're a little bit hopeful.

I'm not getting sucked in again on Zimmer.
Trade him someplace for a pitcher who actually can pitch.

"Hello Mr. Red Sox GM,

We'd like to send you a pitcher that can't pitch and we'd like a pitcher that can pitch in return. Don't worry the guy that can't pitch has great stuff.

Hello... Hello..."

We started off at -115 today, the line is now Houston -111

Home Run Derby jerseys and hats this year:

https://s.yimg.com/lo/api/res/1.2/eD...derby-caps.jpg

Are there discounted gold Royals jerseys available anywhere?

I must be the only person on the planet who doesn't like the gold trim.

Yuck

Must be. They're rad.

Powder blues with gold lettering would be so rad.

Good Lord, those are hideous!

yellow and brown is an awful combination. Using the braves colors and old "a" script would be cool. Those are hideous.

Nope. I love em but I know a couple in KC that hates them.

I should also mention that the All Star game and HR derby are in San Diego this year and modeled after these jerseys from the early 80s.

Throwbacks indeed.

He has no trade value at the moment, though. He's more valuable to the Royals on the off chance he gives them something than any pieces he would return.

I'm not sucked in. It's incredibly disappointing, because the guy has a great arm... When it isn't hurting.

Dope.

They started sporting those in the late 70's. Dave Winfield's last year with the Pads was in 1980 (I think that pic was from 1978).

I used to love those unis when I was a kid, but HO-LEE-FOOK are they ugly.

@FlannyMLB: Lorenzo nearly broke a leg chasing a BP fly as he hit the hill. Crashed hard. Someone revive the #Royals trainers

Wtf? Is he hurt now?
