Royals win! Royals win!

late night game, eh?

btw its teh Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim.

Yeah it is a late game. And yeah, I know it's Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim, but who really wants to type all of that? :)

I might as well call them the California Angels.

I hope Bautista blows them away.

The angels have owned the 'Royals.

I like this team. We need some middle relief. Pathetic yesterday.

I can't wait to watch Batista. I am glad to finally get out of Springfield watch a Royals game. I always got blacked out or had the Cardinals down my throat.

Nice to see Bryd also. I just hope Pickering and the boys don't give him whiplash tonight. :p

Damn late games.

Right now i'm watching the Corn vs the Horns on ESPN2. Tied 3-3, runners on the corners, bottom of the 8th. Exciting.

BTW, I didn't want to start a thread about it, but WAAAAAAHHSU (Wichita State) got Rock Chalked 13-6 a few nights ago. They are winless vs their in-state rivals (KU/KSU) thus far.

I cannot wait until the Royals are more than 1 game under 500 for good so these drive to 500 threads will stop. Matter of fact I hope they get to 10 games under quickly so all Royals threads stop.


Have I said lately how much I now hate MLB. :cuss:

Pickering's back in the lineup today... Emil Brown gets the start in RF, Graffy gets to bat 2nd and play 3rd and Gotay is finally back in the lineup.

Heh. We could always start "Drive to .250".."Drive to .384.." etc etc...

and you still opened it and even posted on it!!!!!

logical????


ROFL

And those ****ing threads will still be there.

Haha...Paul Byrd.

Good jesus, Dejesus. :shake:

You guys are toast. The mighty Texas Rangers only managed 1-2 against the Angels.

Graffanino at 3rd???

1-2-3..exciting.

Yeah, Pena wants to keep Graffinino in but can't keep sitting Gotay... you figure it out.

This is going to be a long game.

Good God, what is Pena's obsession with playing washed up veterans? Why are we having a youth movement if we are playing Graffanino every ****ing day? He is a utility player, no more no less. I would much rather see Teahen and Gotay go through their ups and downs rather then see Graffy's mediocre ass in the lineup. I almost hope we don't do well this season so we can fire Pena's dumbass this year. Bring in Bobby Valentine.

Good play by Buck...

Oh, Thank God.

Struck out Vlad...nice!

Good job by Bautista... striking out the giant. :thumb:

Wow ... he made Vlad look bad.

nice....Denny K's Vlad..

Yeah baby, 2 strikeouts and a bunt back to the pitcher....Great start by Denny!

Denny's is open, drive thru... swoosh.

Error!

Figgins intimidated by Pick's speed.

HBP! Two on no outs!

WOOHOO!! Royals take the lead!

Terrence long ! WOO!

Long RBI...

There's your lead, Denny. Make it hold up.

LOL

Watching Pick churn around 3b .......they musta been showing him a picture of a porkchop at home to get him to round the bag that hard :)

Despite his bad rep, Long has played really well so far IMO. I hope he keeps it up.

Better then seeing Harvey's fat ass rounding 3rd. I still can't believe AB actually had the balls to keep Pick and send Harvey to Triple A.

2-0 Royals!

Holy shit, Saul.......15K posts? Damn. I;ve been on here forvever and still can't get to 10K. Congrats.

Just noticed that meself..thanks.

ROFL

Solid inning...good situational hitting. Got a single with a runner at 2nd then with a runner at 3rd got a sac fly.

i want to see long swipe a bag

I just want to take some time to tell you guys watching on RSTN how much I hate the new scoreboard logo thing. The old one was much easier to read.

Thank You.

Good play, Berroa, Sweeney...

i like the scoreboard thing.

everyone says how shitty the lineup is but i don't think its that bad. Getting harvey out of there makes the lineup alot better

It was confusing at first, but I like it now.

ROFL got me.

0-3..Bautista ROCKS!

So far.

Denny punch out!

Why you can't read the count, or atleast I can't.

So..i'm starting to understand this. Whatever VonneMarie says will happen, the opposite will happen. (Bautista getting rocked..)

Although its still early..

Denny's got some fine stuff.

I can read it.

There was an article in the Star today about that... said there has been a ton of complaints about it. The RSTN people said the scoreboard looks great in the production truck at the game but after it gets filtered through satellites and whatnot into your TV, it doesn't look as good. Once this road trip is over and everybody comes home, they're gonna work on making it clearer.

First off, don't listen to what TK says.

Secondly, I'm just working my MOJO.

Personally, I like their "Breakfast Dagwood"...The breakfast grand slam ain't bad either.

That's what I've been saying. We have some decent pitching on this staff. The problem's going to be in manufacturing enough runs to get the win.

I think it is fine, i'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. It comes in clear on my tv.

They just need to put the count lower from the bottom of the crown part thing...

Same here...:shrug:

And maybe widen it a bit.

DeJesus with the steal...

First steal of the season? ROFL

Dejesus no less?

Pick bloop RBI single. 3-0 Royals!

Pick with a SHOT into CF for a RBI.... ROFL

Nice...

Texas-Nebraska goes to the 15th..heh.

4th SO for Bautista...

College baseball is so great! :rolleyes:

Bautista you can't do that!

Damn..I hope Bautista is alright. Ball hit him in his throwing hand. WTF is up with that..

You are so gay! :rolleyes:

I love my Brian Anderson but he looks like horrible hermit. :shake:

There goes the perfect game...

Damn. Dennys no hitter ..ruined!

Bautista 5 k's!

Looks like we've found the 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner.

So far so good for him, scared me when he stuck his hand out earlier...
