***** Official Royals Opening Day Thread *****

[beavis]

Alright, I'm geeked though disappointed that this will be the first home opener I've had to watch over the internet.


Prediction:
KC 5
Detroit 4

Meche goes 7 solid. Gordon goes yard. Soria with the save.

Hey, it could happen.

[melbar]

Here's to hopin'!:toast:

[SCTrojan]

I hope it turns out that way.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

LET'S GO ROYALS

[J Diddy]

dunno gonna go to st louis opener tomorrow though

[Deberg_1990]

Tigers 10

Royals 2

[BWillie]

Home opener with the Yankees next week. I'll be there right behind the yanks bench. It's gonna be bad ass. Last time I went to the home opener they reeled off that huge winning streak to start the season and we almost won the division. I'm hoping I'm the good luck charm

[VonneMarie]

ROYALS BASEBALL!

KC 9
Det 2

[Coach]

Ah, it's good to have some Royals baseball back on the air. Can't wait to have an "official" Kansas City Royals baseball is on the air!

Hopefully we'll have a CP get together for one of the Royals games later on during the summer. I know I'd be down with that.

[Demonpenz]

hopefully we can add some bats by mid july to make a push for the world series

[keg in kc]

Tigers 3007
Royals -40

Royals suck!

[BWillie]

hopefully we can add some bats by mid july to make a push for the world series

hahahhahahhahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah ahaahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahhhhhhhhhhhhhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahha

Hey, it could happen.
If you have Direct TV the MLB Extra Innings is free all week. So I get to watch them at least one week this year. :thumb:

[pikesome]

I'm sorry, rooting for a team that counts <100 loss seasons as "good"...

[Sure-Oz]

Probably be rained out, storms are part of the forecast

[doomy3]

So glad baseball season is upon us

[Reaper16]

I'm sorry, rooting for a team that counts <100 loss seasons as "good"...
Who the **** ever said that? Shut up.

[keg in kc]

I'm sorry, rooting for a team that counts <100 loss seasons as "good"...Interesting comment to make on a board celebrating a football team that hasn't won a championship in almost 40 years.

[Jenson71]

I'm sorry, rooting for a team that counts <100 loss seasons as "good"...

No, this year I don't think anyone will be happy if we lose between 90-100.

[beavis]

Sadly, they don't have Direct TV in my neck of the woods. :grr:

[kcxiv]

Good luck to all you Royals fans out there. I may not be a royals fan, but i dont have any ill will towards the club and i wish you all luck. God knows the Cheifs cant bring any ****ing happiness. lol

My team opens up against our most hated rivals in the Giants. Cant wait.

[cookster50]

Royals - 3
Tiggers - 8

The Tiggers(yes, I know, one too many g's, it's on purpose) lineup is stacked more than the Spankmes.

[Dartgod]

Alright, I'm geeked though disappointed that this will be the first home opener I've had to watch over the internet.
Psssst...

This isn't the Royals home opener.

[Sully]

I'm sorry, rooting for a team that counts <100 loss seasons as "good"...

Yeah.
We should definitely all be fair-weather fans, and root for the teams that are going to be good every year.

I bet you were a Cowboys fan in the 90s, huh?

[POND_OF_RED]

Can't effing wait. True Blue Fountain Faithful through and through. Go Royals! :Royals:PBJ:clap:

[pikesome]

Yeah.
We should definitely all be fair-weather fans, and root for the teams that are going to be good every year.

I bet you were a Cowboys fan in the 90s, huh?

No I grew up a Royals fan, they were my favorite team even ahead of the Chiefs. One of my cherished childhood memories is watching George and the Royals beat the Yankees the year after their WS win in person. But the strikes, the PEDs, the MLB's focus on two teams, Pete Rose... There's a whole list of things, not all Glass and the Royals fault, that have soured me beyond redemption on the MLB. Somewhat like finding out that your childhood hero is a fat, alcoholic, wife-beating, racist, dead-beat dad.

I'm sorry I typed that though, just because I've turned my back on this whole lot doesn't mean I should piss in the pool.

If you're enjoying it, just ignore my disillusioned ass.

I understand the other stuff. But you didn't already know your childhood hero was fat?:D

[pikesome]

I understand the other stuff. But you didn't already know your childhood hero was fat?:D

Hey, I looked in the mirror the other day a noticed that middle age sent me gift announcing it's impending arrival. Now I just need to stick a couple, 20 lbs in a burlap sack and chuck it off a bridge.

So I'm withholding the fat jokes.

Unless they're really fat.

Or I'm feeling cruel.

[Rooster]

2008 KC Royals = Greatest Team Ever Assembled


:grovel::grovel:PBJPBJ:grovel::grovel:

[Mr. Arrowhead]

We believe in 08
GO ROYALS!!!!

[RedDread]

Calling alnorth, alnorth to the BB. We need da play by play!

[Al Bundy]

I cannot wait to get the season started. For the 1st time since.. well 1992 I am excited.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Cant wait to watch the game, Charter has the MLB Extra Innings package for free until 4/6 so I can watch it today

[beavis]

Psssst...

This isn't the Royals home opener.

You know what I meant. :cuss:

[eazyb81]

Pissed that I'm going to miss the game, but I have a bad feeling Verlander will be tough to hit today.

[markk]

its a tough draw to face the tigers and yankees right off the bat. but minnesota wont be any good this year so i hope we can turn those two series into some wins. lets be patient with these kids and see where we are at midseason or the end of the season

[Reerun_KC]

Will they lose 100 games again?

[Sure-Oz]

Will they lose 100 games again?

ill go with no

[Bowser]

I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. That Tiger lineup is sick, and Verlander is a tough bastard. I think we lose 7-2.


And MLB didn't do the Royals any favors with roadies against the Tigers and Twins to go in with the home opener against the Yanks. We could conceivably be looking at 3 wins after our first three series. :shake:

[beavis]

It's a beautiful day for baseball in downtown London today! To bad the f*ckers don't know what the hell it is. :banghead:

Play ball!

Guillen popped out to second. End of KC's 1st inning. 21 pitches for Verlander.

[Coach]

Guillen popped out to second. End of KC's 1st inning. 21 pitches for Verlander.

Full count.

[JBucc]

****

[Kraus]

They are saying on the radio Meche was robbed.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

This home plate ump is a piece of shit

The strike zone changes with every pitch

[alanm]

Why is there a guy with Detroit getup standing behind the Royals Mngr in the dugout?

[Old Dog]

Sheffield walked, Rodriguez scored, Inge to third, Renteria to second.

after a 0-2 count damnit

[Dartgod]

Damn, he had him down 0-2! :banghead:

[eazyb81]

F'n BS. That was a 3rd strike.

This ump is f'n us over.

[Jenson71]

That was bullshit and I can't even see the game.

[Old Dog]

Ordonez flied out to deep left.

[Dartgod]

So, if I am following this correctly, Gordon got rung up in the first inning on a pitch well outside the zone, but Meche got squeezed and walked in a run?

[Old Dog]

Gload, Buck, Pena coming up

Down 0-2 going into the 5th
Likely the last of Meche, as he's thrown 84 pitches

[eazyb81]

So, if I am following this correctly, Gordon got rung up in the first inning on a pitch well outside the zone, but Meche got squeezed and walked in a run?

That's exactly right. They just showed a replay of the called 3rd strike on Gordon in the 1st and it wasn't even close to being a strike.

The Tigers are good enough, the umps don't need to help them out.

[Old Dog]

Gload grounded out to first.

[Jenson71]

kill the ump

[Old Dog]

Buck struck out looking.

[sedated]

Umps f*cking over the Royals is nothing new.

[Old Dog]

Pena struck out swinging.

72 pitches through 5 for Verlander

[Old Dog]

Cabrera, C. Guillen, Pudge coming up

1 Freaking hit through 5?????

[Old Dog]

Meche still throwing for KC

[eazyb81]

Cabrera, C. Guillen, Pudge coming up

1 Freaking hit through 5?????

Verlander is nasty today.

He might win 25 this year with Detroit's lineup.

[Old Dog]

Cabrera homered to left.

Down 0-3 now

[Deberg_1990]

1 Freaking hit through 5?????

[Old Dog]

Rodriguez flied out to deep right.

[Old Dog]

Jones grounded out to second.

93 pitches through 5 for G. Meche

Gathright, Grudzelanik(sp) Gordon coming up

[Hammock Parties]

this is going to be a long season, heh.... :-( damnit

[eazyb81]

Some things never change...

Same Ole Royals....

Have you ever posted a positive comment about the Royals? If you hate them so much, why even pay attention?

[Old Dog]

Gathright grounded out to shortstop.

[eazyb81]

this is going to be a long season, heh.... :-( damnit

Heh, and if we won today everyone would be one here talking about how we might be a surprise contender for the division.

1 game out of 162 fellas.....

[Hammock Parties]

one thing this team has a lot of troubles in is allowing the other teams starting pitchers to go long times in games... They NEVER work the count...

[Old Dog]

Grudzielanek singled to right.

[RockChalk]

listening to the game at work...was Cabrera's HR a bomb or just barely over? Bob Davis made me believe it was 600 feet

[Deberg_1990]

Have you ever posted a positive comment about the Royals? If you hate them so much, why even pay attention?


I posted one once back in 1985

[RockChalk]

speaking of bombs

[Deberg_1990]

one thing this team has a lot of troubles in is allowing the other teams starting pitchers to go long times in games... They NEVER work the count...


Thats been a problem for a looooong time.

That and being unable to develop starting pitchers "in house"

[SPchief]

Gordon homers!!!!

[Kraus]

2-Run homer for Gordon!!!!!!!!!!

[JBucc]

2-run HR Gordon!

[huskerdooz]

Alex with the 2R HR

[Hammock Parties]

WOOHOO Da Ali-G with the jack

[eazyb81]

HR ALEX GORDON!!!!

[Old Dog]

Gordon homered to right, Grudzielanek scored.

[Chiefmanwillcatch]

HOMERUN GORDON!@!!!!1

[ChiTown]

listening to the game at work...was Cabrera's HR a bomb or just barely over? Bob Davis made me believe it was 600 feet

Bob Davis is the worst P-B-P guy I have EVER listened to.

[Old Dog]

Guillen flied out to center.

[Old Dog]

Butler flied out to center.

[Old Dog]

After 5x 2-3 bad guys

Inge, Renterria, Polanco due up for Detroit

[Demonpenz]

Cabrera's homerun went 445 into the wind

[Old Dog]

[Old Dog]

Teahan, Gload, and Buck due up in the 7th

Cabrera's homerun went 445 into the wind

[Old Dog]

Meche's line through 6

99 pitches, 8 hits, 3ER, 4 BB, 5 K's

[eazyb81]

can't believe Meche is still in the game

He's not even at 100 pitches. Why wouldn't he still be in?

[Hammock Parties]

man, i wonder how good Ali-G is gonna be this year. has a good start going so far

[huskerdooz]

Cabrera's homerun went 445 into the wind

Surely you just, it just cleared the fence into the bullpen, bounced off something in the pen and richoceted into the stands.

[Old Dog]

Teahen walked.

1st walk for Verlander today

[ChiefsFan4Life]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect hit and run

[JBucc]

Hell Yeah!

[Old Dog]

He's not even at 100 pitches. Why wouldn't he still be in?

seems like he's been in trouble more than out of it, and generallly pitchers don't go real deep in their 1st couple starts (at least it seems that way to me)

[Jenson71]

more detail more detail!!!!

[Old Dog]

Gload singled to center, Teahen to third.

C'mon Buck

[RockChalk]

chased Verlander out

[eazyb81]

hell yes!

[Kraus]

Goodbye Verlander!!!

1st and 3rd and no outs.

[huskerdooz]

Gload singles
1st and 3rd no out
chases Verlander

[Jenson71]

ohhh yesssss:clap:

[Old Dog]

Grilli now on teh mound for Detroit

[RockChalk]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect hit and run

i think i'm going to really enjoy the style of ball that Hillman likes to play

[markk]

man you watch detroit sending batters up to the plate and it seems like they have a potential all-star in every hole... you are doing just fine to keep them to 3 runs

[eazyb81]

seems like he's been in trouble more than out of it, and generallly pitchers don't go real deep in their 1st couple starts (at least it seems that way to me)

Meche usually goes pretty deep into games, at least he did last year. Plus, he's in his prime, so pitch count isn't as much of a concern with him as it is w/ younger guys. The dude is a workhorse.

Yes.....now we're getting to their bullpen. This is getting exciting....

[Kraus]

i think i'm going to really enjoy the style of ball that Hillman likes to play



Sounds like he was giving the homeplate ump some heat a couple of innings ago too. Finally some fire.

[RockChalk]

great, Buck is 0-6 lifetime against Grilli

[Jenson71]

great, Buck is 0-6 lifetime against Grilli

first time for everything? huh buck? make it happen ole boy

[ChiefsFan4Life]

C'mon Buck ... make something happen here

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Buck is turning his head away too early

[Jenson71]

whats the count ahhhhh

[RockChalk]

BUCK!!!!!!!!!!

[Kraus]

Basehit!!! 3-3 tie, 1st and 2nd no outs.


I'll bet Pena will bunt.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Base hit to left field

[kcxiv]

Nice. Tied game.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

1st and 2nd , no outs now

Tie ball game

[Jenson71]

[huskerdooz]

Buck with a single to left ties the game

[Old Dog]

Buck singled to left center, Teahen scored, Gload to second.

[eazyb81]

first time for everything? huh buck? make it happen ole boy

Nice Call! :thumb:

[Hammock Parties]

Johny-B-Good with the RBI single. Thank god verlander is outta there

[RockChalk]

you have to be able to get a frickin bunt down Pena!

[ChiefsFan4Life]

0-2 on Pena now

Two failed bunt attempts

[eazyb81]

Come on TPJ, at least lay down a decent bunt. :cuss:

[Jenson71]

Nice Call! :thumb:

:clap:

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Pena hit it up the middle but the pitcher got it

runners on 1st and 3rd now

1 out

[SPchief]

got lucky there

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Grilli leaving the game now, new pitcher coming in with Gathright up

[RockChalk]

well i guess that's better than a strikeout or flyout...it will be awfully tough for them to double up gathright

[markk]

i think gathright ought to be playing every day. ddj gives you like .270 with nothing else... gathright can at least give speed and stolen bases

[Old Dog]

Pena grounded into fielder´s choice to second, Gload to third, Buck out at second.

my feed froze for a minute

[beavis]

i think gathright ought to be playing every day. ddj gives you like .270 with nothing else... gathright can at least give speed and stolen bases

He might get his opportunity if DDJ has to go on the DL.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

here we go

[Old Dog]

Bobby Seay relieved Jason Grilli.

[huskerdooz]

Pena hit it up the middle but the pitcher got it

runners on 1st and 3rd now

1 out

Actually the P deflected the ball and probably kept the Tigs from turning a DP

[ChiefsFan4Life]

0-1 count

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Damn, late on a fastball

0-2

[RockChalk]

c'mon Joey!

[ChiefsFan4Life]

1-2 now

Missed outside

[ChiefsFan4Life]

1-2 now

Missed outside

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Damnit, he lined out to the SS

Another pitching change now

Lopez coming in

Grudz up to bat

[Kraus]

Come'on Grudz!!!

[RockChalk]

lineout to ss, another pitching change

[Old Dog]

Gathright lined out to shortstop.

[RockChalk]

Grudz had a clutch hit in last year's opener...couple of 'em actually

[ChiefsFan4Life]

0-1 count now

[RockChalk]

big time, rbi single, royals lead

[Kraus]

Heck ya!!! Grudz with a clutch RBI single!!!

[JBucc]

Grudz knocks him in!

[ChiefsFan4Life]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Base hit to right field to score the go ahead run

1st and 2nd now

Nice, Grudz is the man

[Silock]

Hell yes!

[markk]

[Kraus]

Verlander is now tagged with four earned runs. Hahaha.

[Old Dog]

Grudzielanek singled to right, Gload scored, Pena to second.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Gordon flied out to left

[RockChalk]

Gordon flies out to left, 4-3 good guys!

[eazyb81]

Wow - who on here would have thought we would have the lead in the 7th after Verlander was mowing us down earlier.

[Hammock Parties]

woohoo for grudzie!!! rbi single

[Old Dog]

Gordon flied out to left.

[markk]

beating verlander and detroit's legion of super heroes lineup on opening day would be sweeeeet

[Hammock Parties]

They keeping Meche in the game still?

[ChiefsFan4Life]

Our bullpen needs to hold

A win would be awesome

But with the Tigers' lineup, it won't be easy

[Carlota69]

Not a Royals fan (Angels), but I'm sitting here watching the game, rooting for ya. I would like to see KC do well this year. Good luck to you guys.
