Royals Vs. Giants Thread Sun. 06/22

[Adept Havelock]

K. Davies vs. Tim Lincecum

Looks like a bad pitching matchup for us.

Davies starts the game walking their first batter. :shake:

[Adept Havelock]

2-base error by Davies. :shake:

[BigVE]

LOL, I bumped yesterdays thread. The throwback uni's look pretty good.

[irishjayhawk]

I've learned that if we start out bad, we usually win. And if we start out stellar we usually lose.

This could be good news.

[Adept Havelock]

I like the throwback uni's, I'm just hoping Davies doesn't render this game unwatchable.

Nice late throw, dumbass.

The Idiot seems to already be losing his head. :cuss:

[BigVE]

No doubt about Davies...infielders HAVE to help him out a bit though. I'm pretty sure those are the old Monarch's uni's.

[noa]

Davies off to a great start :banghead:

[BigVE]

A walk, two errors and then a single. Ouch, not a good way to start.

[OmahaChief]

Davies is likely to have 75 pitches after two inning pitched at this rate. Not a good effort on his part so far. This looks more like the old Davies and I hope this is not something that reminds him he sucks.

As I say that another run and that game is most likely over. Maybe Fulchino and Rosa can pitch some now that this game is over. With Linecum on the mound I doubt we score more than two runs.

[Adept Havelock]

Disgusting. While I am not superstitious, out of respect for those who are I hereby promise not to start any more Royals games threads.

If their playing at home does it really matter who starts the game threads. :banghead:

[BWillie]

Linecum is the best pitcher in the majors. He just has amazing stuff and poise despite looking like my paper boy

[Stewie]

I had no idea Alfalfa was reincarnated as a MLB pitcher. The guy can chuck it for a little dude.

[DeezNutz]

DeJesus with great hustle.

Watching Gathright's approach at the plate makes my head hurt. He's an abomination.

[POND_OF_RED]

Amazing hustle DDJ. I thought he took Lincecum out of the game too. That would have been nice.

[DeezNutz]

And our defensive wizard cannot make the play...with his range and Gathright roaming CF, I'm shocked to see KC behind in this one.

[DeezNutz]

DeJesus goofs a flyball and blames his shades. Definitely Oakley's fault.

[Stewie]

I'm not a baseball historian but what is the CR, or is it RC, on the Giants' jerseys?

[petegz28]

we left the game when they went up 6-0. This umpire ****ing blows.

[irishjayhawk]

we left the game when they went up 6-0. This umpire ****ing blows.

The umpire caused the atrocious play by the Royals?

[petegz28]

The umpire caused the atrocious play by the Royals?

no, i was referring to the call on Avilles just now. One of the reasons we left was the piss-poor, little league play we were seeing.

[irishjayhawk]

Lets go Royals!!!!

[BigRock]

Fought back from 6-0 to 6-3.

Fought back from 10-3 to 10-7.

[VonneMarie]

10-8! This game is crazy!

[irishjayhawk]

Bases loaded. 10-8. 0 outs!!!!!

[VonneMarie]

Alice is gonna mess this up...

[petegz28]

figures i leave the game and they make a run at a come back. Oh well, whatever it takes. we had some foul-mouthed, butch bitches behind us anyway that were really irritating.

[VonneMarie]

Gordon you suck!

[VonneMarie]

C'mon Guillen!

[irishjayhawk]

figures i leave the game and they make a run at a come back. Oh well, whatever it takes. we had some foul-mouthed, butch bitches behind us anyway that were really irritating.

Well, I went to the Twins game to see them blow a 5 run lead in the 9th. Consider it even.

Course, I was a foul-mouthed fan there. It's hard not to be when you blow a 5 run lead and you're sitting with Twins fans.

[irishjayhawk]

Why is it I get the impression this is our last chance?

[petegz28]

I went to that one and a Texas one. These beasts were not foul mouthed fans. They were foul mouthed white trash. The one directly behind me talked more jive than any black person I have ever seen. I hate that shit. You ain't black, I don't care how much you wish you had a black dick between your legs for all your stank ass white hoes but you will never be black.

Thena gain she was bragging cause she was gonna get "hooked up for $10 and hr" being event staff at the Sprint Center.

[VonneMarie]

****

[petegz28]

Avilles! Pena go stfd!!!

[kstater]

That there's some bad luck.

[BigRock]

AVILES

[VonneMarie]

**** YEAHZ!

[kstater]

Wohooo Aviles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No need for TPJ anymore.

[petegz28]

HOLY SHIT!!!

[VonneMarie]

Screw Obama, Aviles for president!

[kstater]

Let's see if Buck can pull his once a month homer out here.

[VonneMarie]

Damn, Buck. C'mon!

[VonneMarie]

Awww...

[petegz28]

how did strike 3 look Buck? WTF is Olivo not in?

[BigRock]

BUCK YOU, UMP

[kstater]

Let's see if Buck can pull his once a month homer out here.

Yeah, you kind of need to swing the bat to make that possible.

[VonneMarie]

BUCK YOU, UMP

LMAO

[petegz28]

**** YES!!!!!

[Mr. Arrowhead]

this game is crazy

[BigRock]

DEJESUS WAS SAFE BY A MILE

YOU'RE GONNA DIE, UMP

[petegz28]

6 more outs to win one of the best games i have ever walked out on! So glad to see we didn't play dead after we looked like total shit for 3 innings.

[heapshake]

I'm not a baseball historian but what is the CR, or is it RC, on the Giants' jerseys?

I think they said they are wearing the uniforms of the Royal Giants who were suppose to have popularized baseball in Japan.

[BigRock]

WAY TO GO, UMP

WHAT AN EXCELLENT CALL

[petegz28]

way to miss the hit and run buck......olivo please!!!

[kstater]

Paging Dr. Filthy McNasty, Dr. McNasty, please report to the mound.

[petegz28]

STFD...Biatch!

[kstater]

SIT YOUR ASS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

[Old Dog]

WOW!!! What a game.

[petegz28]

WHAT A WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Old Dog]

Hell of a play by Aviles to end it

[petegz28]

PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ

[kstater]

Awesome comeback win there. Hopefully can continue to build on the momentum.

[teedubya]

So I take a Sunday afternoon nap... and I wake to Filthy McNasty retiring the side to win the game, WTF!!!1

[VonneMarie]

PWN3D

[petegz28]

This is exactly the kind of win this team needs to shake off the 12 game losing streak and the other blown games. The Royals still have a reason to play hard right now. Stranger things have happened......uh maybe.

[teedubya]

Print em!

[Dartgod]

6 more outs to win one of the best games i have ever walked out on! So glad to see we didn't play dead after we looked like total shit for 3 innings.
Heh. We left in the 3rd inning as well.

[Mizzou_8541]

I've learned that if we start out bad, we usually win. And if we start out stellar we usually lose.

This could be good news.

:clap:

You are wise beyond your years, sir.

[Mizzou_8541]

Disgusting. While I am not superstitious, out of respect for those who are I hereby promise not to start any more Royals games threads.

Actually, please do!

[Sure-Oz]

I was there, i was thinking of leaving at 10-3 but the gf wanted to stay longer, glad she did! Hell of a game and a ton of fun!

[Sure-Oz]

no, i was referring to the call on Avilles just now. One of the reasons we left was the piss-poor, little league play we were seeing.

haha you were one of the people that left, cracks me up pete...

There was a couple next to us that left after the 2nd inning...

Missed out!:p

[Pasta Little Brioni]

That is why i never leave games early no matter the score, because of the chance of something like that happening. Sure you have to sit through some stinkers, but oh well paid the price might as well see the whole game. Can't blame people if they want to leave though.

[Kraus]

Great game for the Royals. Makes me feel a little better about the Yankees game a couple weeks ago where we blew some big leads. Baseball sure does have a way of balancing things out.

[Valiant]

haha you were one of the people that left, cracks me up pete...

There was a couple next to us that left after the 2nd inning...

Missed out!:p

I leave early every now and then.. But early means after the 7th inning.. I have never left that early, do not see the point of paying for parking, tickets and maybe food and then leaving after two innings..

[Dartgod]

I leave early every now and then.. But early means after the 7th inning.. I have never left that early, do not see the point of paying for parking, tickets and maybe food and then leaving after two innings..
I've never done that before, but we only paid $5 each for our tickets, brought our own water and peanuts, so we weren't really out anything. We had gone to Fridays game and are going to two games against the Cards next weekend and the game just seemed to be draaaaagging along very slowly. Honestly, those first two innings felt like five. We had some other things to do, so we bailed.

[KCUnited]

Speaking of superstition, we sat today out in the sun, stayed until the end. After the Giants went up 10-3, my girlfriend, who works in logistics for a local transportation company, pointed out a Monarch transportation semi with the word Monarch in huge letters on the trailer driving down I 70. She turned and said, I think we'll come back. Glad I stayed.

[petegz28]

Heh. We left in the 3rd inning as well.

well we were just out there last night, have 2 trips this week out there as well so we usually walk if we start getting our ass whipped. We go to 25 games or so a year. Figures I walk out of a good come back.

[alanm]

way to miss the hit and run buck......olivo please!!!
Maybe at DH or 1st. He can't call half the game that Buck can or he would be behind the plate.

[Dartgod]

I see it as taking one for the team. They didn't start playing well until we left. :shrug:

[keg in kc]

Wild game today.

[BigRock]

Maybe at DH or 1st. He can't call half the game that Buck can or he would be behind the plate.
Isn't Olivo also like 0 for his last 20 or something? Maybe he got 1 hit in there, but he's gone cold.

[Sure-Oz]

We got our tickets and parking pass for free, gf won a drawing at work for club box, they were damn nice seats. she also won the same exact seats and pass for this sundays game vs the cards :)

[Adept Havelock]

Damn. I leave to putter in the yard and run a few errands, check the thread to see what happened...:eek: :thumb:

Great comeback by the boys in blue!

[DeezNutz]

Maybe at DH or 1st. He can't call half the game that Buck can or he would be behind the plate.

Then the coaching staff should call the game. Offense aside, Olivo is a much better defensive catcher. He blocks and throws, two pretty important facets of the game. Buck doesn't seem to care about the former and he simply can't accomplish the latter.

Face it Olivo can't call a game and Buck can't play the game. The Royals have been weak at catcher for years.
I wish they had taken Posey from Fla St.
What ever happened to Maier? I guess he's not progressing as fast as they'd hoped.
On a side just saw on Sports Center that Pena was 5 or 6 on the Web Gems segment.

[POND_OF_RED]

Buck O'Neil was smiling down on the Royals today.

[KCUnited]

2nd largest comeback in club history. 379 total pitches thrown, 3:59 hour game.

[Bowser]

LAWLZ @ pete and Dartgod. :D

[KC Kings]

That was a great game! I about fell asleep during the first 2 innings, but it was well worth the wait. Was it DeJesus that leveled the pitcher covering the plate on the wild pitch? That was awesome!!!

The only bad part about sitting through a 4 hour game in the sun, is waiting another hour so your kids can run around the bases for the 50ith time.

[KCUnited]

It was DeJesus that took out the pitcher. He had a chance to do it again later in the game to another pitcher but intentionally got himself in a run down to advance the other runner. I personally felt he should've go into home and force the pitcher to make a play even though he was out by a mile.

[Demonpenz]

Good call KC. Never know when you might be able to knock a ball free especially with those huge gloves they wear now

[Dartgod]

LAWLZ @ pete and Dartgod. :D
It's ok. I firmly believe that had I stayed, the comeback would never have occurred.

[OmahaChief]

Face it Olivo can't call a game and Buck can't play the game. The Royals have been weak at catcher for years.

Mairer has been an outfielder since he entered the system. Don't look for him behind the plate any time soon.

[KCUnited]

Good call KC. Never know when you might be able to knock a ball free especially with those huge gloves they wear now

That's right and nothing causes a pitcher to sh!t himself more than having to cover the plate with someone barrelling down on him.

Anyway, stat of the game. 6 walks by Royals players.

[Bowser]

It's ok. I firmly believe that had I stayed, the comeback would never have occurred.

Good point. Thanks for leaving early. :)

[DeezNutz]

I don't disagree with any of this, but you can fix the first thing that you list. Ok, he doesn't handle the staff real well, so the dugout can help pick up the slack. This is one example when coaching can have a real impact on a ML game.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

this may have been the best royals game i have ever seen.

[Sure-Oz]

I still think the best part of the game was watching fulchino bail out like a little pussy at the pop up right at him....

He acted like the sun was in his eyes, there was NO sun out there at that moment.

Such a big panzy, crowd was laughing so loud it was hilarious

[petegz28]

ACtually there was sun cause on the next batter the sun went behind a cloud and I told my wife "too bad that pitch wasn't one pitch later".

Granted he is still a pussy and was a determining factor on my early departure.

Yeah, WTF was that all about? I didn't hear any laughing. Plenty of boos though.

[Sure-Oz]

Plenty of boo's for sure, i think the dude never has had a ball hit to him or something, i dont even know why that clown is on the team. I assume just cause we need a long reliever...

he was definetly scared of the ball...

[KCUnited]

We miss Nunez.

[Sure-Oz]

btw-fulchino was sent down today and Peralta brought up...

[SCTrojan]

btw-fulchino was sent down today and Peralta brought up...

Is he going to set-up for Yabuta?

[Sure-Oz]

Is he going to set-up for Yabuta?

Yabuta needs to be sent back to japan, he is a waste of a roster spot

[Kraus]

Yabuta needs to be sent back to japan, he is a waste of a roster spot

And about 6 Million, correct?

[Sure-Oz]

And about 6 Million, correct?

Who knows, i don't see how this clown was decent in japan....and if he was, i think another team wouldve had him...

We've babied him all year long and not put him into any situations at all...

He still sucks ass, i hope hes next on the chopping block

[KCUnited]

Package deal with Buck and Pena Jr.
