Here we go again: Royals @ Chi Sox - 4/18

[leviw]

You knew it was coming....

[leviw]

Affeldt gets 'em 1,2,3 in 10 pitches. Little better than Mays yesterday. Let's score some runs....

[nychief]

WE NEED A WIN

[leviw]

WE NEED A WIN

Honestly, I'd just like to see us score a run tonight.

0-0 after 1 1/2.

[AirForceChief]

I haven't been able to listen to WHB's audio steam the last two nights...anyone else able to get the feed?

I don't think they stream the Royals games ever. They've been having problems with their normal stream as it is, though. Check 580wibw.com. I listened live on there once last week.

[AirForceChief]

Can anyone tell me why DeJesus was replaced in the second? I assume he reaggravated the hammy...

Buddy and the trainer went out and talked to him. Looked like he was going to stay in, though.

[Saulbadguy]

HOOOOOOOOOOME RUN MARKKKKKKKKKKKK TEAHEN!

KC leads 1-0!

[petegz28]

Holy shit we have the lead!

[leviw]

HOLY ****!!!!!! Teahen Homers. Royals lead!!!!!!!

I was able to listen to several of their earlier games, now I get:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. A network firewall might be preventing the Player from opening the file by using the UDP transport protocol. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:").

But the 'favorite' I stored is the http address...

[petegz28]

Nice poke by Teahan

[ChiefsCountry]

By the way if anyone wants to listen to how the future Royals Alex Gordon, Billy Butler, Mitch Maier, and Chris Lubanski are doing.

I stand corrected.

[petegz28]

Costa has a good bat...I wish they would bench Sweeney, move Brown to DH and put Costa in LF

[nychief]

teahen with a homer. what next? Locusts?

[nychief]

what happened to dejesus?

[petegz28]

what happened to dejesus?


He was gimpy running to 1st so they pulled him

[petegz28]

Ok good inning..guys are hitting the ball solid....good things will happen if we keep that up..

now don't blow the lead Affeldt!!!!

[petegz28]

TEAHAN...awesome defensive play. Way to be heads up!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

WOW, Teahan is actually doing something other than putting up K's.

[leviw]

I hate walks. Despise them. Five-run innings and walks are the reasons why our starting pitching sucks so bad.

[Saulbadguy]

Affeldt you ****ing pussy.

[Saulbadguy]

Heh. Costa was a bit confused. Good put out though.

[petegz28]

Heh. Costa was a bit confused. Good put out though.


Sanders was some too. I think the wind is blowing the ball around pretty good like.

[AirForceChief]

Affeldt is in danger of getting his ERA below 10.00!!

Stop the madness...

[petegz28]

If Sweeney doesn't get a hit here BENCH HIM!

[ChiefsCountry]

How come Baird didnt trade Sweeney and Affeldt when they had value????

[petegz28]

Sweeney you DUMB ASS!

[Saulbadguy]

Wow.

[petegz28]

So Sweeney has improved to 4-36?

[leviw]

Sweeney's sucks even when he does well.

[petegz28]

How can Split talk about there wasn't much chance for Dye?

We are talking Dye vs. Sweeney.....Why would you ever gamble that?

[petegz28]

Crap ..good hit Reggie...better defense Anderson

[leviw]

Second great catch in two nights for Brian Anderson. No, not that Brian Anderson.

[petegz28]

Mienke with the bloop single

[AirForceChief]

Mienke with the bloop single

That may have scored Sweeney had he not chosen to stretch his single into an out :shake:

[leviw]

Mienke with the bloop single

Bats are on fire tonight. Still just one run. That's the thing, if and when we get out of this slump where we can't buy a hit, we're going to go through another month or so failing to convert RBI opportunities. It's a never-ending struggle.

[leviw]

That may have scored Sweeney had he not chosen to stretch his single into an out :shake:

Sweeney MAY have maded to second on Mienke's single.

[petegz28]

We just need Affeldt to be smart

[leviw]

We just need Affeldt to be smart

If you're going to walk Thome, might as well put him on his ass. Nice work.

[petegz28]

Walk #2....but since it is Tohme I can live with it

[Saulbadguy]

LOL

Did you see Berroa try to throw the ball?

[petegz28]

Good catch...team is playing like they actually want to win

[leviw]

Good catch...team is playing like they actually want to win

It's an optical illusion.



See.

[Saulbadguy]

Wow, **** you Berroa.

[petegz28]

Ok Berroa I take back my compliment...although it did take a funky bounce

[petegz28]

Thank God that just went foul

[Saulbadguy]

This is just awful.

[petegz28]

Well there went the lead.....walk came back to hurt us

[leviw]

This is bound to rattle Affeldt. Too bad. Nice start tonight.

[petegz28]

Walk and an error and there goes your lead boys

[petegz28]

3-1 thanks Angel!

[AirForceChief]

Sweeney MAY have maded to second on Mienke's single.

I had Sweendy advancing to 2nd on Sanders' fly out to center.

[Sure-Oz]

wtf just happend?

[petegz28]

Notr hard to score when you get free passes

[Sure-Oz]

I hope affeldt can bounce back nad continue a solid game after this BS inning.

[petegz28]

wtf just happend?

1 out walk to Thome...error by berroa which would of ended the inning...back to back singles....3 runs in for the Sox

[JBucc]

Whew thank God, I thought I was some sort of alternate universe or something what with the Royals winning and all.

[leviw]

Whew thank God, I thought I was some sort of alternate universe or something what with the Royals winning and all.

I'm going to say we'll score more than one run. However, it may not be more than two.

[Sure-Oz]

1 out walk to Thome...error by berroa which would of ended the inning...back to back singles....3 runs in for the Sox
Damnit....Atleast plays some damn defense, Berroa always seems to make goof plays!

[AirForceChief]

Uribe down 0-2 and he gets something to hit? How is that? Buck should have call for that breaking ball down out of the strike zone. This is the stuff I just don't get. Piss!

[petegz28]

And this is where our bats go quiet

[petegz28]

Hey we are making progress. We held the lead for 2 innings.

[leviw]

Damnit....Atleast plays some damn defense, Berroa always seems to make goof plays!

I didn't mind the walk to Thome. The error is what screwed us.

[petegz28]

Ok can we make them pay for their error like they made us pay?

[leviw]

Ok can we make them pay for their error like they made us pay?

What is "No"?

[petegz28]

Ok why do you fake a bunt with 2outs man on 1st down by 2?

[petegz28]

Wow now we are making Garland look stellar

[leviw]

Wow now we are making Garland look stellar

Hope this is of no surprise to you...

[Sure-Oz]

3-1 in a normal game i wouldn't be too worried being in the game still, but the way we are playing things go downhill fast, lets hope affeldt can put up another good inn.

[petegz28]

I am more worried about our bats coming alive when we need them. That means Sweeney getting on base.

[leviw]

I am more worried about our bats coming alive when we need them. That means Sweeney getting on base.

....and staying on base until he reaches home plate, please.

[petegz28]

....and staying on base until he reaches home plate, please.


I think he just got lost ...it's been so long since he has been on base.

[petegz28]

Wow only the Roylas could look like such dumb f*cks!

[Coach]

Ayi ayi ayi....

[Sure-Oz]

Buck should;ve never thrown that, where are the damn fundamentals guys??!

[petegz28]

Walk #3

[Sure-Oz]

Probably a safe walk there, but im getting sick of these damn walks!

[leviw]

Second full-count walk to Thome. Don't be a pussy Jeremy.

[petegz28]

Can Larry Johnson pitch????

[Sure-Oz]

Nice comeback there by Affeldt! He has pitched pretty well tonight considering the defense has failed behind him!

[petegz28]

Ok nice to see Affeldt finally take charge and throw like he wants to win the damn game

[Coach]

Jermey gets out of the jam.

[Sure-Oz]

The bats need to start showing something, we are still in this damn game.

[leviw]

Can Larry Johnson block????

Sincerely,

Jason Whitlock

[leviw]

We HAVE to score this.

Nice job, Grudz.

[Coach]

Double for Grudzielanek!

[Sure-Oz]

I wish our whole team was Grudzelaneks and Sanders, cause they both look like decent hitters, that make good contact!

[petegz28]

Way to go sweeney you pice of shit! Man on 2nd 0 outs fly ball to Center......way to move the runner you dumb ass!

[leviw]

Well, Grudz will be stranded on third instead of second. Perfect.

[Coach]

At least Sanders moved the runner.

Hope Mientkiewicz can drive him home.

[petegz28]

Well at least Reggie did what Sweeney couldn't...if Sweeney would of done his f*cking job it would be 3-2 right now!!!!!

[Sure-Oz]

Warning track power

[Coach]

Stranded a runner at 3rd....

Pitiful. :shake:

[petegz28]

lead off double and our $11 million captain can't do jack shit!

[Sure-Oz]

Sweeney needs to be dropped down in the order or something, he is really killing us right now....

[Pitt Gorilla]

lead off double and our $11 million captain can't do jack shit!Sweeney is terrible.

[petegz28]

Can we PLEASE bench Sweeney now?

[petegz28]

Sweeney 4-45 Avg .114 OBP .262 SLG .229

WHY IN THE HELL IS HE STILL BATTING 3RD????

[Sure-Oz]

So far a quality start by Affeldt.

[petegz28]

And what pisses me off the most about Sweeney is he is being paid to do 1 thing..hit the flipping ball.

[petegz28]

So far a quality start by Affeldt.


By rights this should be 1-0 still. Affeldt got cheesed by Berroa

[Coach]

Sisco warming up in the pen.

[leviw]

Sisco warming up in the pen.

:(

[Coach]

Teahen's last 25 AB's, he only struck out 3 times.

An improvement from his early struggles.

And he singles.

[petegz28]

New arm coming in for the Sox

[Coach]

Garland done for the night.

Brandon McCarthy replacing him.

[leviw]

Let's get thier pen. I have a good feeling about tonight....

[Sure-Oz]

Nice hitting Teahan and Garland gone after 85 pitches?? wtf

[petegz28]

Damn we just can't get one over the wall

[Coach]

Bah. The whole team can't even hit worth a shit.

[Sure-Oz]

Give these royals roids cuz these warning track bombs would be going out!

[petegz28]

I stand corrected Sweeny is 5-38 NOT..I repeat NOT 4-36

[leviw]

Oh no for Sisco.

[petegz28]

SAC Bunts by Kc Roylas in 2006.....0

I guess we just have too many powerhouses huh?

[Coach]

I stand corrected Sweeny is 5-38 NOT..I repeat NOT 4-36

4-36, 5-38, it's still shitty.

[Coach]

4-1 now for the Sox.

[petegz28]

4-1 Sox...thanks Sisco

[Sure-Oz]

Jim Thome needs to get back on the DL and back in the NL.

[petegz28]

So we bring in our closer in the 7th? We look like a chicken humping a rockingchair!

[Sure-Oz]

4-1 might be the nail, it's too bad cause affeldt pitched well enough to win this if it hadn't been for the error.

[petegz28]

4-1 might be the nail, it's too bad cause affeldt pitched well enough to win this if it hadn't been for the error.


This game as over at 3-1. We don't have the machismo to score 5 or 6 runs

[Sure-Oz]

Burgos tells Dye to blow me.

[petegz28]

What is the payroll $'s for Cleveland?

[petegz28]

good hustle Costa.....now let's move the flipping runner!

[petegz28]

so much for that sac bunt thingy

[petegz28]

Sweeney hits into a DP....


YOU SUCK YOU PIECE OF ASS CRUST!!!

[Sure-Oz]

I don't want to sweeney in the lineup tomorrow. Royal killer!

[petegz28]

so we used Burgos for one inning..he kicks ass and we sit him down?

[Sure-Oz]

We will need him and Sisco out there tomorrow. this game is lost at this point.

[RedDread]

[petegz28]

Walk #5

[petegz28]

can't we just give them the last 2 outs and get it over with?

[Sure-Oz]

game over, damn 4-1, pathetic. 2-11

[VonneMarie]

Well ****. :mad:

[Sure-Oz]

This is pretty bad, 2-11, no offense when we finally got atleast half way decent pitching. Of course no defense thanks to Berroa, who really blows. Too bad Blanco has ZERO bat, he may challenge sweeney for that .128 ba but atleast he plays sparkling defense.
