Mexicans love mayonnaise. They love it so much that in 1912 they ordered a shipment of Helmins mayonnaise to be delivered from England to New York City and Mexico was going come pick it up. Well that shipment never made it to New York City as the ship called the Titanic hit an ice-burg and sank. Mexicans mourned the loss of the mayonnaise and to this day call May 5th Cinco de Mayo.

Cool story! :thumb:

But why not pick April 14th or 15th then ?

Free tacos from taco Bell with a win tonight?

If we win, I’ll be cumming

The royals living mas

Ragans first start since the minor groin pull, hope he's healed.

Ahhhh, the home whites looking crisp... Let's do this.

Let's go Royals!

But they could just make mayonnaise. They have plenty of eggs and they have plenty of avocado oil.

Nice to have Ragans back.

Nice job Ragans. Let's start something early.

Cole strikes out the side after the leadoff single.

Three K's in the first. Ragans is back baby!

Not giving Bobby much

Ragans with 5 Ks after 2 IP, no score.

He strikes so many guys out. Just amazing.

Cmon ump...

Two more innings for Cole?

Well, Ragans has 7 Ks, but 66 pitches after 3 IP.

The strikeouts are great. Just wish he was a little more efficient and could eat up some more innings. But 7 K's through three innings is pretty great...

Yeah her goes through a lot of pitches.

Yeah he sure always does it in alot of pitches.

Need a coach to go out there with India and hit 100 line drives straight at him in LF. He's struggling with balls hit straight at him.

Give it up HUD that was ugly.

Who was on the call the other day? Sounded like Sweeney but I thought he just did the West Coast stuff.

He was really good. No over the top homerism like Hud.

Direckshun’s mom or Renfroe

Guthrie

Atta boy Maikel. Just poked it thru. Nice work.

On the board!

Good at bat

1-0 Royals after 4 full.

If we just let Ragans throw 200 pitches tonight he might make a run at 20 strikeouts.

Damn. 11 K's thru 5 IP for Ragans. He's at 94 pitches. Squeeze one more inning out of him? Hopefully?

Guess not, judging by the scene in the dugout.

If Stratton comes out I will lose my shit!!!!

Atta boy Bobby!!!

With a timely hit, that would have been a MUCH bigger inning, as it is, 2-0 Royals after 5 and Ragans is done. Schreiber is in.

Stratton is a "break glass during blowout" kind of guy.

Looks like Schreiber coming in.

Stratton is a POS and my most hated Royal!!!!!

I didn't mind India being aggressive in that spot. Close play at the plate.

13 K's through 6IP... 7 more ties the record, right?

LMAO

Ragans is the type of pitcher than Prison Douche's metric love would beat off to where strikeouts are most important. I don't know how many times he would argue that a 9 pitch strikeout inning is better than a 3 pitch fly out inning.

I think Smith has a very good career if he stays healthy. Nice game, although he's behind, was keeping the hitters confused.

Whatever Garcia worked on with his bat this offseason has ****ed his base running brain up

Garcia got a little too racy there, should have stayed at 3rd.

What a bone head play by Garcia.

Is that the record? because we have 14 now.

India heating up!

Hey pitchers, we got you 2 runs...handle it! :harumph:

2-0 Royals after 7

Six more outs!!!

Not Hunter renfroe oh God.

I'm pretty sure 20 is the record by one pitcher in a 9 inning game. Clemens did it twice, Big Unit did it once, Kerry Wood once and Scherzer also once. Starting pitcher and bullpen combined, I'm not sure.

What a heads up play from Lynch.

Hoo boy what a play!!!

Damn Vinnie! What a play!

Great play!!

what a double play.

WooHoo! Nice play Royals!

What a catch and DP!! :clap:

Wow! Atta boy Vinnie! Nice play with Lynch getting over.

And again, Daniel Lynch out of the 'pen... a revelation.

THREE MORE OUTS.

Big Vin nice catch. Lynch very smart play.

Bad day for Mr. Quero. Three K's and a popup DP. Yikes.

Salvy Luvs him sum out of the strike zone pitches.

Garcia is becoming a legit good hitter in front of our eyes.

Waters is a good back of the lineup guy. Liking it!

Way to go Waters!! 3-0 Rs

Atta boy Waters! Nice insurance run!

Waters turning into a player

Yawn. Just another shutout. Ho hum.

Nice win boys!
