I want to see wakefield throw a no hitter

Here comes the massacre...

Good to see Reggie Sanders back. Let's hope he hasn't lost it. Or at the very least, let's hope he can make routine fly ball outs in left. :banghead:


Got a question - what's our win/loss when John Buck is the starting catcher as opposed to Jason LaRue?

Nunez is gonna own tonight.

I'd like to see sanders in right, teahan at third and gordon playing first

That way we could have brown playing left, and even though he's been struggling I think he's a better bat than gload or shealy

Teahan has been a turd at the plate lately.

But he's been pretty damn good in RF

Teahan with the base hit

Especially after running all the way out to right field, and doubling up Lowell in the 2nd

I'm generally not a "FYP" kind of guy. I find it annoying, but...

Heh, I realized what I typed a few minutes later.

sanders!!

If ever there was a "FYP" post, that was it.

Yeah, that was my thinking.

Nice to see we have the early lead.

i was hoping for the same ROFL


she must of went to get something to eat ... i noticed her coming down the stairs.

gordon doing his willie wilson impersonation

Back to Back steals by Gordon.

Err, they ruled the second one a wild pitch.

pena!!

you moving out by me in the boonies?

Yep, but I won't be until tommorow night. I have to wait for the settlers to get back from your place. And they won't reach your place until 2 this morning.

cool ..... i got 3 new settlers ready to go tomorrow myself.

heh ... gonna have 5/6 settlers sitting around tonight. :D

You're building up quite the village out there.

I am a Royal fan today! smash the dead sox! :cuss:

Glad to have ya. :)

Dude, you do a kickass job with this thread. rep to you. I've never seen anything like it. :thumb:

AND TWINS!!

Damn, I'm not watching tonight... but it looks like the bats woke up.

Well, let's hope they know that there is a game to be played tomorrow as well.

C'mon you ****ing idiots.

Indeed.

Would be nice to see if the Boys in Blue can get out of this road strech at .500 or better. I think that would be solid.

That'd be fantastic.

As bad as this may look, the on-deck man cant tie the game, so its not even a save situation

Let's just hope it doesn't have to come to that.

I hate that. Gets 2 outs, and all of a sudden, can't finish the deal.

These ****ing losers better close this out.

Or what?

Lighten the fug up

S T F U and bite me. :rolleyes:

Naw, she's fun when she's feisty.

See what I mean? :D

One more out...

Heh...

Vonne does get a little umm... negative... but she's a big time Royals fan. In every game thread, following every pitch.

Game

Soria is ****ing on fire!!! I love how he has kept up every aspect of his kick assedness this entire season!! Hes looking more and more like the real deal

We win.

Royals win, Royals win PBJ PBJ



soria's breaking ball was freakin' nasty tonight :clap:

Go bake me a pie

Yeah Soria's a badass.

How did we luck into him?

Come eat my pie.

Ah....now we're getting somewhere :p
