In before Chiefs Donkies game thread.

In for the raped socks

Royals are gonna rape the socks

Hopefully it's a blowout Royals lead by the time the Chiefs kickoff.

That would make for a decent afternoon no matter what

Let's go Royals!

Gotta win.

Royals > Chiefs.

TAKE BRUISER OUT TO THE BALLGAME. TAKE BRUISER OUT TO THE CROWD.

You're dead to me.

Gotta get this one. (I'm going to say this every game until the parade, BTW.)

We must dominate today, no time for missteps or mistakes. Truly, madly, deeply need a win.

Saw a fully nude stripper dance to this song at Bazookas when I was 18, I'm still in love with her, classy dame. The next dancer came on stage and squirted us with her breast milk. Mmm, no 2%, just the real thing baby. Go Royals.

LMAO

In for the must win

This is the first time in recent memory that I have looked forward more to watching the Royals than the Chiefs during the NFL regular season. Add in that the Chiefs are going against the Broncos in week 2, and I would call that astounding.

Problem with winning last nigth is Ned actually believes now Aoki is a legit DH. What are other managers thinking of such hilarious madness?

That the Royals offense must really suck?

Looks like the same line-up as yesterday for the Royals.

I BET IT WORKS OUT EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT DID YESTERDAY TOO

That would be what they need, except with a Detroit loss today, please.

This would helpout a lot!

LET'S SHOW THEM WE MEAN BUSINESS

Good start Vargy.

Thanks :popcorn:

Sit your ass down, Big Poppa Piss.

His look a lot better than mine. Way to go Vargas!!

Aoki is DHing?

Is that what I'm reading?

Did yesterday also. :hmmm:

Yes, he was also the DH last night as well.

Love the Gordon, Cain, Dyson outfield

Aoki, or Butler is a wash at DH and but Aoki is a better runner

And Willingham cant stay healthy.

As long as Dysons playing and Aoki isn't leading off I'm happy with this lineup :old:

What's wrong with Willingham now?

Groin strain

His glass vagina has a crack in it. I KEED, I KEED!!!!

Strained groin

Thanks.

Vargas dealin dirty

Was off the grid yesterday. Didn't see that. Interesting.

I actually like Willingham, but it does seem that he bruises up easily.

CLE V DET scoreless in the B4

Leadoff Gordon single :D

Lead-off man on, let's get this done.

LET THE HITTING BEGIN!

Back-to-Bach base hits for GORDO and Salvy. Come on HOS!

HOLY HELL HOSMER.....

HAMMERED... HOS ON A ROLL

**** YES. HOS DONGER

YYEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Hell yes, chills? You bet!!!!

Teh Hos

Barely got it over!!!

Boom

THAT WAS SMASHED TO CENTER MY GOD... HOSMER

Wizard of Hoz!!!!!

Put some distance on that one.

Oh hellz yea!!!!!!

Hos!

Pft. That was a stout 411:evil:

You guys might of got your wish for a early Royals blowout before the inevitable Chiefs loss :)

That's a huge home run. Just freaking huge.

boom.

10 runs this inning, why not

I actually was going to type out "Warning Track Powar!"

MOOOOOOSE keeping the train on the tracks

I love you MOOSE!

Nice hit. I'll take it.

Nice, keep it going boys. :clap:

Still no outs :thumb:

It's hard to watch 8 NFL games and the Royals at once but I'd have it no other way!

Who are these guys?

We've needed a game like this... let's blow it out.

4-zip

Great situational hitting.

Going to go ahead and make it 20-2 when Dyson starts

Ground ball to the right side WHAT?

Tigers up 1-0 top 5
