Kansas City Royals Scoreboard Watching Thread (9/12)
 

No game today, but everyone we're chasing is playing. I assume a lot of us are going to be watching them tonight.

Important Games

Final: NYY 6, BAL 5

Final: BOS 3, TB 4

Final: CLE 14, CWS 3

AL Wild Card

TEX +2
TB -
NYY 1
CLE 1.5
BAL 2.5
KC 2.5

I love it!

Very much, in.

In!

I'll take a Red Sox, Orioles, and White Sox parlay please.

She said that. All of it.

And, this.

Meaningful scoreboard watching with just over 2 weeks to go in the regular season.....who woulda thunk it

At one point last week we were 6 games back of the last wildcard spot. Today we are only 4.5 back of the first wild card spot. Awesome.

IN!

Out of curiosity, I typed this into bodog. This parlay would pay 5.675 to 1. (bet $10 to win $56.75)

The bet has been made, haha. $10 to win $56.75 for the win!

The first two aren't that unrealistic...it's that Sox/Tribe game I doubt. Interesting info, nevertheless.

Who do we root for in Baltimore vs. New York? I'm inclined to say Baltimore since they're further back than the Yankees, and rooting for the Yankees does bad things for one's soul.

Baltimore has a tougher schedule from now until the end

Other than the Rays/Yankees/Orioles planes having a triple collision in the air, the best solution is probably to bring the Yankees back today. They finish their season with the 4 game set AT HOUSTON.

Yep, the Orioles schedule is brutal, their losses will come later. The Yankees still have games against the Giants and Astros, so we need them to lose today.

Ugh. Let's hope it doesn't come down to counting on the Astros to get us into the playoffs.

I'm so far in, you could call me balls deep.

Have a Royal bday, dude.

I don't know what that means exactly because they're off, but I thought this was the appropriate time to inject a cheesy bday joke.

Red Sox and ChiSox fans. Don't know what to do in Balt/NY tilt.

Thanks mang.

Balt has an insane schedule from here on out, so we should probably be cheering for them to win.

Baltimore.

I'm up in the air about NY vs BAL game, general logic says you should probably want the team farthest away from you to lose, and since the Yankees also have the easier schedule I think I SHOULD be rooting for them to lose. At the same time though we've been sitting in the 4th runner up position for awhile now, need to start passing some of these teams.

HBD started a birthday thread for you. Page 2?

I'll get some...to win $58.01! :clap:

Love it!

Ok, Balt it is.

It's Go Time!!!

And the a's & Texas start a 3 game series tomorrow

You are going to win $1.26 more than me? That's not fair!

Out

#Orioles and #Yankees will not start on time. If there's a rainout, makeup will be on Monday.


This would suck for both teams

I approve of this outcome. Screw up both team's rotations, less rest, etc.

I'm rooting for rain. If you actually placed a 3-game parlay, don't worry, it would convert to a 2-game parlay bet with lower odds.

I am in! Seems odd not to have a royals game on tonight. Been a long stretch with a game everyday.

Red Sox threatening in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd 2 outs.

Let us pray for this.

I'm down for a rain out.

My buddy is stuck on the runway in NYC in a crazy downpour.

MFY/BAL first pitch tentatively scheduled 8:20 EDT...

Man, **** Tampa and their shit stadium. I've seen garbage bins at strip clubs cleaner than that place.

Great idea man. Kudos

C'mon Boston:

solo homer for Boston to cut TB's lead 2-1

Fun Fact: Since June 5th, the Royals had the 3rd-best record (0.593) Behind only the Dodgers (0.682) and Red Sox (0.602).

Damn it, the month of May really killed us.

4-0 Tribe over White Sux, 1st inning

Yech. But not unexpected.

sucks that Baltimore is playing NY.

Yankees and Orioles are now underway. The rain lost.

I F'ing hate the White Sox.

I know old Royals fans hate the Yankees, some of them dislike the Phillies because of the 1980 World Series, etc.

If I had to pick a rival, it would be the Chicago White Sox. Screw those stupid south-sider white trash drunken fans, the fans suck, the team sucks, the Cell sucks, and believe it or not, their spring training stadium sucks too. I was there, Camelback Ranch felt like watching a game from the deepest pit of hell, it was ugly, looked like a rusted-out pile of garbage with no shade... but I digress.

You can't count on Chicago for anything. The Chicago White Sox should die in a fire, they certainly wouldn't lift a finger to hinder the Injuns if we would benefit.

You forgot the absolute worst thing about the White Sox. In the early days of mlb.tv/directv baseball you usually only got the Royals games with the other team's announcers. I still fly into an instant blind rage at the sound of Hawk Harrelson's voice.

I refuse to listen to that baseball announcer who shall not be named's voice. I'd rather miss the damned game entirely and read about it later than listen to that moron homer.

Ouch.

Now 5-zip.

Damn you, White Sox. I hope the team moves to Portland.

Of all the Central teams they are most certainly my most hated. Cleveland is just behind them.

But yeah, NY and StL by far are the teams I hate more than any other.

F'ing Orioles. This may be the only time I'm rooting for them, and they are now losing to the damned we-end-our-season-against-Houston Yankees.

Papi homerun. 3 to 2 rays

Boston ties it up!

Woooooo!

Well at least BOS and TB are tied now, and the CWS/CLE game is still young.

How is Arod still playing?

That really makes me mad. He should have been suspended.

Cleveland game game delayed. That would be great if they screwed Cleveland and cancelled the game just like they did to us early in the season when we were about to win. Wishful thinking, I know.

Myers with a rbi double in the bottom of the 8th

Shit

Looking like a bad day for the Royals.

Ah damnit.

Rally time

Top of the 9th, down one.

Jonny Gomes up.

Gomes grounds out to 2nd, Drew up

Drew! Infield single!

Tying run at 1st

First pitch I've seen thrown off the screen on mlb at bat was the 0-2 pitch to drew.

Even if TB win today, I still think they end up continuing their collapse and dont get the WC. The main problem today IMO is NYY and CLE winning.

1st and 2nd with Pedroia up

Ball 4!

1st and 2nd, 1 out.

Pinch runner for 1st (wonder if they bitch and cry as loudly as we do when we pinch run for Butler?)

They're scared to death of Carp now

so close....

barely foul to right
