***Your Hometown Team vs The World Camps for the Sweep! Offical Game Thread #2***

[banyon]

Something weird happened with the first one I tried. Maybe a mod can delete it? I posted it just as the Planet froze up on me and now I can't get back into it. :shrug:

Anyway, on to today's game.

Sweeney earned redemption with his game winning homerun yesterday.

Today's pitching matchup is Mark Buherle v. Scott Elarton. Buherle always seems to pitch especially well against us.

Here's to hoping Reggie and Sweeney continue to pick up the pace. :toast:

An heres to hoping for no WGN blackout today.

Big money...no whammies, no whammies, stop!

[MahiMike]

what time's the game on E.S.T.? I watched yesterday's game on WGN. Good game.

[Nzoner]

According to the DirecTV guide WGN is not showing the game today.

[banyon]

what time's the game on E.S.T.? I watched yesterday's game on WGN. Good game.

2:10 EDT.

1:10 CDT.

1:10 EST(If you're in AZ and on Eastern Time for some reason).

[Hammock Parties]

Prediction forthcoming.

[Hammock Parties]

640 on my DTV.

I'll watch you guys during the commercials of the Ranger game.

[banyon]

Prediction forthcoming.

You've now posted in the thread, so that means we'll win right?

[Skip Towne]

According to the DirecTV guide WGN is not showing the game today.
Hooray for Directv! They know a shit team when they see one.

[Hammock Parties]

You've now posted in the thread, so that means we'll win right?

No, I must make my prediction first. The fates will align at some point and NostraGoChiefs will speak.

[Reaper16]

Dye is back in the Sux lineup, batting fifth.

[banyon]

Crappanino leading off today. :spock:

[banyon]

I didn't even notice that I misspelled the thread starter. LOL

[Coach]

I'm guessing you mean Official Game Thread #3. Heh.

[Reaper16]

Looks like I can listen via 810 stream today. Yay.

[banyon]

I'm guessing you mean Official Game Thread #3. Heh.

I meant that I said the "World Camps" :)

I only count 2 threads for today's game.

The one that I can't get into and this one.

Where's the other one?

[Coach]

That's what I am doing Reaper. MLB Audio is pretty awesome. Just a few seconds behind from the actual pitch (Usually a pitch or 2 behind) and just wish they could had it a bit better in terms of timing, but I won't complain too much.

[Hammock Parties]

FUQUE!!!

Naturally Fox Sports Detroit is blacked out for the Rangers game.

I guess I'm a full-time Royals fan today.

[Hammock Parties]

That was ugly.

[banyon]

was that Berroa's fault or Teahen's for not getting to the ball?

nice DP to end the inning.

[Hammock Parties]

Today's prediction: Elarton goes six innings and gives up three runs.

[Reaper16]

WTF? @ error.

WTF? @ ESPN gamecast being faster than 810's stream.

[Reaper16]

DOUBLE PLAY

[Reaper16]

Jeezus, I'm behind...

[Nzoner]

FUQUE!!!

Naturally Fox Sports Detroit is blacked out for the Rangers game.

I guess I'm a full-time Royals fan today.

Have you tried the 700's,the MLB package is having a free preview I'm getting all the games.

[tyton75]

why isn't Mint-K-vitch playing today?

[Reaper16]

LEfty on mound.

[Hammock Parties]

Have you tried the 700's,the MLB package is having a free preview I'm getting all the games.

I still don't get the Rangers game because according to MLB's dumb blackout rules I am within the broadcast area of Arlington, Texas. :rolleyes:

[Reaper16]

darnit, Dye.

[banyon]

Buherle looking sharp.

[Reaper16]

Ugh

[Hammock Parties]

The Tigers have already scored on the Rangers. ROFL

[Bowser]

The Tigers have already scored on the Rangers. ROFL

Was it a home run?

[Reaper16]

Was it a home run?
No, surpsingly. RBI by Delmon Young

[AndChiefs]

Wow the Tigers are hot.

[Reaper16]

It begins...

[Coach]

Also that Shelton guy's OPS is 2.477. Crazy.

[AndChiefs]

Everyone has hot streaks, his just happens to be right now.

[Hammock Parties]

Also that Shelton guy's OPS is 2.477. Crazy.

We actually got him out in the first.

[Reaper16]

OMG

[banyon]

No, surpsingly. RBI by Delmon Young

Dmitri

Delmon is in the DRays minor league system IIRC.

[banyon]

Emil Brown's stellar fielding continues.

misses the relay guy...had Dye dead to rights

[Hammock Parties]

2-0 Tigers

Former Royal Adrian Brown with the throwing error.

[Sure-Oz]

2-0 sox....off credes double 2 outs now..

[DJay23]

So I get a free preview of MLB Extra Innings this week, and I'm watching the Royals game. Every other game on here gives the home team broadcast team. Why not this game? I have to listen to Hawk Harrelson, who I've wanted to punch square in the junk for years. I hate that guy, hands down WORST play by play man in all of sports.

[Reaper16]

Dmitri

Delmon is in the DRays minor league system IIRC.
heh, that's right. I've been reading too much Baseball America. :)

[Reaper16]

2-0 Tigers

Former Royal Adrian Brown with the throwing error.
Are you guys starting that cast-off?

[VonneMarie]

Who gives a crap about the Tiggers?

[Reaper16]

hehehe

[banyon]

2-0 Tigers

Former Royal Adrian Brown with the throwing error.

At first I thought that Dee Brown had somehow made your roster.

But after checking it looks like Dee is playing for the Savannah Sand Gnats. (that is the actual team name). ROFL

http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=Dee%20Brown&pos=OF&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=488744

[Hammock Parties]

Adrian Brown is platooning in center with Laynce Nix. He's actually been pretty solid this year. He's dumb as a stump though. I heard him interviewed last night.

[VonneMarie]

Teahen sucks! Bring up Gordon!

[banyon]

Can Buehrle no hit us today?

[Reaper16]

MarKKKKKKKKK Teahen avoids tenth strikeout with a ground out.

[Demonpenz]

teahans hot streak continues

[VonneMarie]

How come Mientky is not playing? It could've been Mientky, Grudzy and Graffy in the infield today.

[Demonpenz]

minky sucks against leftys

[Hammock Parties]

How come Mientky is not playing? It could've been Mientky, Grudzy and Graffy in the infield today.

I'm guessing, but maybe he doesn't hit lefties well.

So far my prediction is still alive!

[Coach]

Not sure why Mientky isn't playing. His line aganist Buehrle .256Avg .304OBP .349SLG .653OPS

[Sure-Oz]

Teahan has a better shot at hitting leftys than minky lol, shouldve had mink at 1st and graf at 3b

Put it on the board!!! Yes!!!

[VonneMarie]

I never knew that...

[VonneMarie]

I freaking hate Mark Girlie. :banghead:

[Hammock Parties]

Man you guys can't buy a hit.

[Coach]

Mientky's line aganist LHP's from 2003-2005.

.249AVG .334 OBP .423SLG .757OPS

[Demonpenz]

he gone

[VonneMarie]

We won't be no hit. I bet anyone that.

[Hammock Parties]

Obviously Elarton knows about my prediction. He's holding off on that third earned run.

[banyon]

Today's prediction: Elarton goes six innings and gives up three runs.


Looking good so far...

[Hammock Parties]

In related news, the Rangers tied it up at 2.

EDIT: WE TAKE THE LEAD! SUCK ON IT, KENNY!

[Dunit35]

Without looking at any of the other posts. How's it looking?

[Hammock Parties]

Bases loaded for Adrian Brown

[VonneMarie]

That was like three outs on three pitches. :banghead:

[banyon]

Without looking at any of the other posts. How's it looking?

Royals are being no-hit.

Go Chiefs is watching the Rangers game.

[Hammock Parties]

Adrian lines out. Inning over.

[Hammock Parties]

Royals are being no-hit.

Go Chiefs is watching the Rangers game.

I am not. It's not on. :harumph:

[VonneMarie]

I feel bad for Elarton, he's really pitched a good game.

[4th and Long]

Coach won't be happy until I say something disparaging about the team so ...

HEY! LOOK! WE'RE GETTING BEAT IN THE EARLY INNINGS, AS USUAL, AND, WE'RE BEING NO HIT! HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[banyon]

We did already win the series. so that's something.

Last year these a-holes beat us the first nine times they played us.

[VonneMarie]

BREAK THE JINX!!!!

[4th and Long]

We did already win the series. so that's something.

Last year these a-holes beat us the first nine times they played us.
Didn't EVERYONE beat us 9 times last year? :D

[banyon]

Didn't EVERYONE beat us 9 times last year? :D

not in a row.

[VonneMarie]

This is freaking pathetic. :shake:

[Hammock Parties]

You guy should stop swinging and just try to draw walks.

[VonneMarie]

THERE GOES THE NO-HITTER!

[Sure-Oz]

TEAHAN ends it haha

[VonneMarie]

Well crapola Bucky. :shake:

[Hammock Parties]

OMG did anyone see that pizza commercial?

[Demonpenz]

i wonder how long this keeps up until baird is fired

[Hammock Parties]

Here comes a home run...

[Hammock Parties]

There goes my prediction. I guess the Royals are going to lose.

[VonneMarie]

Elarton just made Dye look silly.

[Coach]

Come on you bastards! How about some f**king runs?

[Hammock Parties]

BS call.

[Reaper16]

That was disheartening.

[VonneMarie]

Sigh.

[Sure-Oz]

damnit another single too

[Sure-Oz]

are u kidding me

[Reaper16]

That was disheartening.
Yup.

[Demonpenz]

we are the dumbest team on the basepaths ever.

[VonneMarie]

:banghead:

[VonneMarie]

we are the dumbest team on the basepaths ever.
No we're not. The Royals are just stressing.

[4th and Long]

No we're not. The Royals are just stressing.
"We're just trying too hard." - Numerous Royals players and coaching staff members, looking for an excuse to blame a loss on something other than obvious fundamental mistakes.

[VonneMarie]

Sanders with a hit.

[Coach]

Come on now, let's get some runs.

[banyon]

home run here would be nice.

[Demonpenz]

mark it down

[banyon]

c'mon Angel.

[Coach]

Another base-hit!

Come on Royals!

[Demonpenz]

here comes a double play

[VonneMarie]

C'mon Angel!!!!

[banyon]

ugh.

[Hammock Parties]

here comes a double play

Wow! Nostrademonpenz!

[Coach]

Damned rally-killing DP.

[4th and Long]

Inning killer.

[VonneMarie]

Angel, you ****ing suck. :banghead:

[Reaper16]

Berroa: Killer of Dreams

[Dunit35]

hows it looking?

[VonneMarie]

Not only are we going to lose, we're going to be shut-out. :cuss:

[Reaper16]

hows it looking?
Like an abortion.

[Demonpenz]

I would have told angel just to bunt or strike out on purpose to stay out of the DP

[Calcountry]

I am getting psyched for another dose of A's brand baseball here in about 15 minutes, how are the row'als doing?

[Dunit35]

Like an abortion.


Great, that's just what I wanted to hear.

[Reaper16]

I would have told angel just to bunt or strike out on purpose to stay out of the DP
He can get some good wood on a pitch, but he has this habit of swinging at the first pitch, everytime. Pitchers take advnatage of that.

[Calcountry]

I am getting psyched for another dose of A's brand baseball here in about 15 minutes, how are the row'als doing?Oh dang, they are in a bit of a pinch, top of the 8th 2 out and down 2-0 to the World Champs.

[Demonpenz]

Hernandez is having a good day down on the farm

[Hammock Parties]

Gawd DAMN.

There's that third run, two innings late.

[Calcountry]

That hurt

[VonneMarie]

Another wasted good performance by Elarton.

[banyon]

Did Thome crush that as monstrously as it sounded on the radio?

[Demonpenz]

LOL you knew that was coming. Thome is locked in

[Reaper16]

Oh dang, they are in a bit of a pinch, top of the 8th 2 out and down 2-0 to the World Champs.
We've had chances the past two innings, but were defeated by idiotic baserunning and Angel Berroa being Angel Berroa.

[Coach]

He gawn.

[VonneMarie]

**** you Thome! :cuss:

[Calcountry]

Hey goCHIEFIE, how are the Rangers doing with their new pitching staff?

[Demonpenz]

holy shit estimated at 440 feet

[Hammock Parties]

Did Thome crush that as monstrously as it sounded on the radio?

I think it left the stadium.

[VonneMarie]

Hernandez is having a good day down on the farm
That's great news.

[Reaper16]

Another wasted good performance by Elarton.
Color me surprised. I will refrain from calling him ElarTime pending on him keeping up the solid pitching.

[Demonpenz]

That thome homerun was crazy. On TV the guys were just like "Welp where is this one going to land" What were they saying on the radio

[Hammock Parties]

Hey goCHIEFIE, how are the Rangers doing with their new pitching staff?

We'll be hitting our stride pretty soon. Just wait.

[VonneMarie]

I think it left the stadium.
Did it hit I70?

[Calcountry]

We've had chances the past two innings, but were defeated by idiotic baserunning and Angel Berroa being Angel Berroa.Is he related to Geronimo Berroa, I get confused when I here his name, I have to remind myself that it is a different dude. lol
BTW, sorry to hear about your fortunes so far hope they can rally here late.

[Demonpenz]

That's great news.


I was being sarcastic he gave up 8 runs in 4 innings with 9 walks and a hit batter and he put 5 pounds

[Demonpenz]

HAHAH the color guys just said thome's homerun was in bo jackson territory

[VonneMarie]

I was being sarcastic he gave up 8 runs in 4 innings with 9 walks and a hit batter and he put 5 pounds
ROFL - Well crapola! :cuss:

[Calcountry]

**** you Thome! :cuss:Crede hurt us the worst last year, but we messed with squirly Buhrle's head.

The A's were 7-2 v the World Champs last year. Too bad that doesn't mean jack chit eh. :shake:

[Reaper16]

I was being sarcastic he gave up 8 runs in 4 innings with 9 walks and a hit batter and he put 5 pounds
Minor League Baseball.com says it was 8 ER on 3 innings, with 4 BBs.

[Calcountry]

tying run to the plate. :thumb:

[Hammock Parties]

Rangers take the lead!

[VonneMarie]

The Royals got something cooking... too little too late, tho.

[Reaper16]

Grrrr, close

[Calcountry]

good call at first, at least he stayed out of hte double play, that is NOT how to get it done.

[banyon]

:cuss: DP

[Reaper16]

Grudz needs to get a hit here.

[VonneMarie]

Darn...

[Demonpenz]

here comes a strikeout

[Calcountry]

That blows, you need power there, not ground balls.

[Reaper16]

I hurt inside.

[Coach]

Sad. :shake:

[VonneMarie]

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Calcountry]

The Royals got something cooking... too little too late, tho.That was a blown opportunity to plate a couple, or at least one run.

[VonneMarie]

The Royals should take those brooms and shove it.

[Calcountry]

Dude would have been safe if he would have been sliding for the bag and not the fielders leg.

[VonneMarie]

Gobbles in to open up the flood gates. :shake:

[DJay23]

It's like telling a kid in a wheelchair he could run if his legs worked. We know.

[Skip Towne]

Comical.
It' always good for a laugh to come over here and watch the whining. Top notch entertainment.

It's Stimle time!

That's sort of the Royals way of saying "we surrender"

[Reaper16]

It's Stimle time!

That's sort of the Royals way of saying "we surrender"
Somebody's got to mop it all up. Our guy is Stemle.

[Reaper16]

Why are we bringing out Sisco for one pitch? We're not going to rally for the win or anything.

[banyon]

damn podsednik's avg is now .045.

that's a bad start.

[Reaper16]

So, Gochiefs... do you see Sweeney and Sanders getting on base with Emil Brown hitting a game tying HR? :)

[Coach]

damn podsednik's avg is now .045.

that's a bad start.

Yeah, his OBP is .111 and his OPS is .170

Ouch.

[Hammock Parties]

So, Gochiefs... do you see Sweeney and Sanders getting on base with Emil Brown hitting a game tying HR? :)

No.

[Reaper16]

Jenks was TERRIBLE in spring training, so there's a small chance of doing something this inning.

[Reaper16]

No.
darn

[Hammock Parties]

Out.

[banyon]

C'mon Buddy!!!!

Get tossed!!! ROFL

[Reaper16]

double-ewe tee eff

[Hammock Parties]

This is amusing. I hope the Royals win.

[Sure-Oz]

whats going on??

[Reaper16]

lol @ crowd cheering "Buddy!"

[Hammock Parties]

whats going on??

Third baseman caught a line drive and then appeared to drop it. Sweeney was called safe then out. Buddy Bell got tossed.

[VonneMarie]

What happened?

[banyon]

Hey where's that huge old-school White Sox Fan SoCalBronco?

[Demonpenz]

wtf. I don't want to hear it from cards fans anymore. We got screwed on that one

[banyon]

Wow that call is big now.

Jenks does suck.

[Ultra Peanut]

Auf wiedersehen.

[Hammock Parties]

Thome's HR is huge now.

[VonneMarie]

HOMERUN SANDERS, THERE GOES THE SHUT-OUT!

[Reaper16]

Hey where's that huge old-school White Sox Fan SoCalBronco?
He's now a Tigers fan, they have a better record.

[Coach]

F**king umpire deftinaly took 1 run away from the Royals. Could had been 3-2, but it's 3-1.

[Ultra Peanut]

Buddy Bell didn't know what the ****.

[Demonpenz]

wow of course sanders parks one

[Sure-Oz]

Third baseman caught a line drive and then appeared to drop it. Sweeney was called safe then out. Buddy Bell got tossed.
WOW.....that would've been a 2 run HR, ****!

[Hammock Parties]

Man, these ChiSox announcers are homers.

I take it you're talking about DJ and Hawk?

[VonneMarie]

Man, these ChiSox announcers are homers.
What are they saying? ROFL

[djplanb]

done in by poor base-running today. sanders' HR should have tied the game up.

hopefully, buddy's gonna do some work on base-running and cut-off throws this week.

[VonneMarie]

Game over. Angel is up to bat.

[banyon]

classic game by Berroa.

Hurry up Bianchi!!!

[Sure-Oz]

Man, these ChiSox announcers are homers.
They've been like that since ive been watching baseball, i hate Hawk Harrelson.

Yesterday on sweeneys HR he announced it "thats deep, thats deep and sweeney continues to kill OUR sox" in a someone shot my dog type of voice.

[Ultra Peanut]

Man, these ChiSox announcers are homers.Wet water.

[Demonpenz]

the chisox announcers are probably talking about the crede dive should have provoked a rule change allowing the whitesox 5 runs

[Coach]

Damn. :shake:

At least taking 2 out of 3 from the White Sux is pretty good though.

[Sure-Oz]

Nice pitching by Elarton, sux we lost though 2-3 is way better than i thought wed be right now

[djplanb]

Man, these ChiSox announcers are homers.

they are painful to listen to. i couldnt' stand them when i lived in chicago. i like how they said Grudz was wrong on the K in the first(?), when it was easily outside. and they couldn't believe Sanders hit it out? maybe Chicago should invest in championship-caliber announcers. at least i didn't hear "can of corn" today.

[VonneMarie]

We still won the series. :p

[Reaper16]

classic game by Berroa.

Hurry up Bianchi!!!
He's years away.

[banyon]

He's years away.

so is Berroa.

:sulk:

[Demonpenz]

This as embarrassment i don't know how baird is allowed to keep his job. If i did this bad of a job at my work i would be fired. They need to clean out this organization from top to bottom. Embarrassing and maybe they could somehow press criminal charges against each and every person working for the royals for stealing money from the people from Kansas City. Glass maybe could be put in some sort of stockade where he shall be beat by tax payers with twislers until he decides to spend some money on the team.

[VonneMarie]

We can back from 6 down and two down but we couldn't comeback today? :banghead:

Next game we have to face the Wang.

Notes: Greinke may be close to return
04/09/2006 1:18 PM ET
By Dick Kaegel / MLB.com

KANSAS CITY -- Pitcher Zack Greinke apparently is about ready to return.
Although Royals general manager Allard Baird said Sunday that there is no date set for Greinke, he added: "He's moving forward. I don't think it's long."

Greinke, 22, left Spring Training on Feb. 25 and went home to Orlando, Fla., to deal with what the club called "personal matters." According to published reports, Greinke has been under the care of a psychologist.

Baird declined to state Greinke's problem.

"Out of respect to him, I'd rather have him do that," Baird said.

Greinke, when he does come back, probably will report to Arizona to make up for time lost when he left Spring Training. Then he'd probably pitch in the Minors before being ready again for Major League competition.

"He's doing good, sounding great, anxious to be back," Baird said.

"For the issues he's been going through, I'm really proud of him. He's a courageous young man."

Greinke is one of the Royals' brightest young talents. Their first-round draft choice in the 2002 First-Year Player Draft, he was called to the Majors in May 2004.

In his rookie season, Greinke had an 8-11 record and 3.97 ERA in 24 starts. However, last season he was just 5-17 with a 5.80 ERA in 33 starts.

With Runelvys Hernandez and Mark Redman also on track to return, the Royals rotation is likely to undergo an overhaul in the next few weeks.

Before Spring Training began, the Royals expected Hernandez, Greinke and Redman to take three of the five starting spots. But, after Greinke left, Redman had knee surgery and Hernandez was out of shape.

Redman is on the disabled list, scheduled to pitch for Double-A Wichita on Tuesday. Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Omaha.

"Pitching wasn't the biggest issue," manager Buddy Bell said of Hernandez. "We know he can pitch. It's a durability issue and whether he maintains his stuff."

Hernandez got his first competitive test Sunday, pitching for Omaha against Nashville.

3ip 8 er 2 HR

[banyon]

Our owner is a moron.

At least he's not a penny pinching liar.

[banyon]

Yankees home opener. Not the best environment for Joe "12.46 ERA" Mays to pitch in.


Yeah, I'll take the "over" on runs scored for that game.

[VonneMarie]

Yeah, we should be 2-6 at the end of the series.

But we get TB next. And man did they own us last year. :shake:

[Reaper16]

I think Bob McClure knows what he's doing. Bautista is becoming more and more comfortable. If Bob can help Greinke get back to what Greinke does best, then we'll have our top 2 starters for the forseeable future.

[Sure-Oz]

"he called me nuts, and that kind of pissed me off"..."

Guess we know why bell got super pissed!

I didn't expect to get too many today.

Long live the Brewers!

[Reaper16]

Yeah, we should be 2-6 at the end of the series.

But we get TB next. And man did they own us last year. :shake:
I think we stopped caring about wins at that point. The 19 game losing streak started with Tampa, and we brought out Kyle Snyder game 2 of that series. Kyle Snyder. (Another draft whiff)

I can't agree with this.

They have put together a pretty decent lineup.

They also have an ace-quality pitcher in Scott Kazmir.

The only area the Royals have an edge is in the bullpen.

I think they wouldn't wind up with so many losses if they weren't in the AL east.

We will see about this now won't we?

Next up, the Yankmees and then TB.

This team will win a few games this year. The lineup is not great, of course, but we have a couple of pitchers who should give us good starts. The bullpen's not bad, and the defense is pretty good.

I loved seeing Buddy Bell throw down his hat and kick it, the most exciting part of an otherwise uneventful day at the K.

I'm 0-2 this year at the games, maybe the Royals should pay me to stay home :sulk:

You're a well known black cat. Look at what you've done to Mizzou.

I'm really just so happy that we got garaffonarnio in the game. (sarcasm) these guys are s'posed to be pro's yet they can't play 2 games in a row? figure that shit out.

Actually other than DeJesus being out with that injury, today was the first day we'd changed the lineup at all I do believe. Facing a lefty like Buehrle allowed us to mix up the lineup... and even then we only really replaced one guy. I actually like Bell's philosophy of letting guys get used to being in the same rhythm everyday though. Tony Pena would mish-mash all the time. We haven't even gotten Matt Stairs an at-bat yet. German hasn't seen much action either.

Why are we paying Fat Stairs $2 Mil again?

It's like telling a kid in a wheelchair he could run if his legs worked. We know.ROFL Nice one.

Then why in the heck doesn't your GM fix things? At least put something competitive on the field. You all deserve better than that. Frankly, the folks in the Kansas City area, are much more avid baseball fans, in general, than average fan out here.

[Calcountry]

It' always good for a laugh to come over here and watch the whining. Top notch entertainment.And its free too. That is important to a cheap penny pinching senior citizen like you.

[Calcountry]

No.Hey, the rumprangers won a game. ROFL
