**Royals @ Redsox 5/28**

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Davies vs Wakefield

[petegz28]

Be nice to get another win against the overpaid whores



Awww FUCK! Yuni is back

[KCUnited]

Anybody else having bizarre problems with their Fox Sports KC?

[petegz28]

Anybody else having bizarre problems with their Fox Sports KC?

Other than Fever calling the game, no.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

How fucking old is Wakefield now?

I guess the knuckleball preserves your arm

[KCUnited]

Other than Fever calling the game, no.
lol, my shit keeps going black and playing audio of another program. Right now I have a black screen with Holmes on Holmes audio.

[Oso]

How ****ing old is Wakefield now?

43

[petegz28]

Fever's brilliant insight:

When Davies doesn't walk people he is pitching well

When Davies walks a lot of people he is struggling and doesn't go deep in games


WOW!!!

[petegz28]

WOW, Ump...WTF was wrong with that one?

[petegz28]

So accodring to Fox Tracks, ball 1 was really strike 1 and strike 1 was really ball 1....LMAO

[petegz28]

Burned by that ignorant shift

[Oso]

Well fuck.

[Priest31kc]

Ballgame.

[petegz28]

All this started from playing that ignorant stupid shift against Ortiz with a runner on 2nd. You want to play the shift fine. Do it when no one is on base. That would have been 2 outs and runner held at 2nd

[Blankey]

Gordon needs to hurry up and replace Pods

[Priest31kc]

Gordon needs to hurry up and replace Pods

Yes.

[petegz28]

Fuck Alice Gordon

[petegz28]

DDJ is our best player, period

[Oso]

David's fucking hot.

[petegz28]

It would be nice to see Billay really get a hold of one here

[petegz28]

Billy needs to learn the rules of hitting a knuckle ball..

if it's low, let it go
if it's high, let it fly

[petegz28]

Come on, Jose, quit trying to kill the ball and just make some solid contact

[petegz28]

WTF did you not send Avilles on that??? The fucking fielder had his back to the plate

[petegz28]

ha ha..fan fucked em out of an out

[AndChiefs]

bases loaded no outs...what happens?

[petegz28]

Oh FFS, two nights in a row we have bases laoded with 0 outs and can't get a fucking run home

[petegz28]

Thank you, Wakefield......the Royals were about to bail you out

[petegz28]

Ok, Yuni...be productive, please

[Oso]

LOL YUNI!

[SPchief]

YUNI!!!!!!

[Blankey]

WOW!!!!!!!

[petegz28]

Yuni with the GRAND SLAM!!!!!

[Blankey]

First Granny in like 2 years

[AndChiefs]

I can't believe Yuni actually did something.

[tk13]

Betancourt for MVP.

[alnorth]

hot damn

[petegz28]

Ok, Yuni...be productive, please

TY, TY, TY!!!

Nice Grand Slam!!!

[petegz28]

Fever: Yuni with a Grand Slam with the bases loaded.

LMAO

This guy really is a chuckly an inning

[siberian khatru]

Dayton Moore just jizzed his pants.

[SnakeXJones]

wow im watching a stream and just saw it my jaw dropped

[petegz28]

Soon to come:

Ryan LeFever lets you know that "at one point in time, this was a 0-0 game"


Wait for it....

[siberian khatru]

Boy, that's quite a line for Wakefield:

3.2 12 9 9 3 1

[SnakeXJones]

Someone give Kevin Seitzer a pay raise

[petegz28]

Royals first 35 games:
12 big innings ( 3 runs or more)

Since Yost:
13 big innings in 14 games


I guess not bunting in the 1st inning really does pay off??

[tk13]

At this pace Betancourt is gonna pop 12-15 HR. Time for a 6 year extension.

[DeezNutz]

The stat about "big innings" is exactly why someone needs to find Hillman and kick him in the balls for all of his bullshit bunt calls.

Same fucking team, but good things happen when you have a logical philosophy.

[DeezNutz]

At this pace Betancourt is gonna pop 12-15 HR. Time for a 6 year extension.

Infraction.

[tk13]

At this rate we might need another big inning... this might end up being a 12-11 game.

[petegz28]

Great catch, Avilles!

[DeezNutz]

Aviles is Bizzaro Harvey.

[petegz28]

And again, with runners in scoring position, we play the shift :facepalm:

[tk13]

Infraction.

Player A: .284, 6 HR, 32 RBI, $33 million/yr.

Player B: .280, 4 HR, 20 RBI, $3.3 million/yr.

BOOYAH! :)

[petegz28]

Wow, where was that last pitch?

[petegz28]

SIT DOWN, BIATCH!

[SPchief]

SIT YOUR ASS DOWN

[petegz28]

I'd give Davies 1, maybe 2 baserunners then it's time for him to go

[Farzin]

So a Red Sox fan told me this will be a cupcake series for Boston. He guaranteed at least three wins over the Royals.

LMAO

[Farzin]

Is it me or did that ump that just spit look like Charlie Weis? o_O

[petegz28]

DDJ 4-4

[petegz28]

So a Red Sox fan told me this will be a cupcake series for Boston. He guaranteed at least three wins over the Royals.

LMAO

We still have 5 innings of Royals bullpen to go

[petegz28]

What's the pitch count on Davies?

[Oso]

What's the pitch count on Davies?

93

[Blankey]

Those Boston fans cheer every flyball like it's going to be a HR

[petegz28]

Those Boston fans cheer every flyball like it's going to be a HR

They are as full of themselves as Yankee fans

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Yuni!!! lol

[petegz28]

I don't understand it...

you're up by 4 runs, the pitcher is not throwing spot on, the count is 2-0 with 2 outs and a runner on base, and you swing at the fist strike.

No Sir, don't get it

[jbwm89]

I would like to retract 3 of my comments about how terrible Yuni is

[petegz28]

Time for Farnsworth to earn some of that $

[petegz28]

Yuni with a great catch...he is having a great night

[petegz28]

Nice job, Kendall :facepalm:

[SnakeXJones]

Yuni with a great catch...he is having a great night I wonder if Yost got on his shit like he did with Hochevar

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Wow, stepped outside to do some edging at 3-0, now it's 9-5

[petegz28]

Wow, stepped outside to do some edging at 3-0, now it's 9-5

Go edge your neighbor's yard for a while :D

[tk13]

Go edge your neighbor's yard for a while :D

And come back around October.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Leadoff double

[Mr. Laz]

nice gapper by pussydink :D

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Bad luck there

[Mr. Laz]

alright ... got him to 3rd, let's get a little loopy to the outfield to scrap another run.

[Mr. Laz]

Butler swinging at balls in the dirt

[BWillie]

So yeah um, this is alot better batting team than I thought they would be. Surely though, Yuni, Kendall, and Aviles batting avgs will nose dive soon right?

[Mr. Laz]

score on a WP PBJ

[petegz28]

SWEET! 10-5 Royals.....Boston pitchers gifting us 2 runs

[BWillie]

KC, even w/out counting this game, has the highest batting average in the MLB. Yet 12th in OBP, and 18th in runs scored.

[Priest31kc]

KC, even w/out counting this game, has the highest batting average in the MLB. Yet 12th in OBP, and 18th in runs scored.

Never thought I'd see us have the highest B.A. in the majors, even only 2 months in. Thats crazy, but yes still only 18th in runs.

[petegz28]

KC, even w/out counting this game, has the highest batting average in the MLB. Yet 12th in OBP, and 18th in runs scored.

We need to turn that great hitting into runs scored.

[Farzin]

That umpire really looks like Charlie Weis..that hated umpire.

[Mr. Laz]

We need to turn that great hitting into runs scored.
they gotta get some confidence and stop choking to do that.

base loaded *choke*
game winning run on 2nd *gag*


they hit like shit(generally) when the pressure is on

[petegz28]

Ok, NOW it's cool to play the shift

[petegz28]

they gotta get some confidence and stop choking to do that.

base loaded *choke*
game winning run on 2nd *gag*


they hit like shit(generally) when the pressure is on

Well that and they need to take more walks and quit hitting into so many DP's

Such great hitting with such low OBP would tell me we aren't taking as many walks as someone else and hitting into more DP's

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Nice Fartsworth

[Mr. Laz]

on a side note ... why in the hell doesn't twitter automatically copy the original tweet when you reply to one?

[SnakeXJones]

That umpire really looks like Charlie Weis..that hated umpire.

I dunno nobody looks like Joe West other than Joe West

[Mr. Laz]

Well that and they need to take more walks and quit hitting into so many DP's

Such great hitting with such low OBP would tell me we aren't taking as many walks as someone else
just generally stop swinging at non-strikes

[petegz28]

Nice pitching from Fransy. Amazing how he has turned it around since Hillman left

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Damn is Farnsworth trade bait now?

[Mr. Laz]

Farnsworth looks absolutely graceful with his defense on that play


ROFL

[BWillie]

I like Mitch. I really do. Gets on base. Plays hard. Doesn't suck complete ass at fielding.

[petegz28]

just generally stop swinging at non-strikes

Helluva an idea!

[petegz28]

I like Mitch. I really do. Gets on base. Plays hard. Doesn't suck complete ass at fielding.

Mitch just needs his bat to come around. And I think it will. I think he is panning out to be a good player for us. His defense certainly is more than acceptable.

[Mr. Laz]

Damn is Farnsworth trade bait now?
i would think that the Royals would jump at the chance to trade Farnsworth and guillen at some point this year.

[|Zach|]

on a side note ... why in the hell doesn't twitter automatically copy the original tweet when you reply to one?

You only have 140 characters. It is meant for message blasts not threaded convos. All about simplicity.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Callaspo!

[Mr. Laz]

Callaspo with a gapper

[SPchief]

AC finally gets in on the hit barage

[Mr. Laz]

MAIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SPchief]

LMAO Mitch Maier with a homer

[Priest31kc]

MITCH!

[petegz28]

Maier with the jack!!!!!

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Mitch just needs his bat to come around. And I think it will. I think he is panning out to be a good player for us. His defense certainly is more than acceptable.

Just like that!!! lol

[Oso]

Holy shit; Maier with the 2-run home run.

[Blankey]

Save some of these runs for Zack tomorrow

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Maier

[Mr. Laz]

Save some of these runs for Zack tomorrow
hell with that ... we need these guys feeling strong and confident

blow everyone out when they get a chance

[petegz28]

Yuni is just playing all-world tonight. WTF?

[Priest31kc]

Damn, 20 hits in 7 innings, so far....

[SPchief]

Save some of these runs for Zack tomorrow

Why would they do that, they can count on Zack

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

20 fucking hits

ROFL

[SnakeXJones]

Wow best hitting game of he season so far

[tyler360]

I bet Greinke gets the L 1-0 tomorrow.

[siberian khatru]

What's the team record for hits?

[SnakeXJones]

What's the team record for hits? 26

[SPchief]

What's the team record for hits?

26

[tk13]

Yeah, I was thinking of that game a few years back where we scored 20+ runs and destroyed the Tigers. Joe Randa had a monster game.

[siberian khatru]

26

JFC.

Oh, and thanks.

[SPchief]

Yeah, I was thinking of that game a few years back where we scored 20+ runs and destroyed the Tigers. Joe Randa had a monster game.

Scored 26 on 26 hits and got shutout in the 2nd game of the double header and STILL set a club record for most runs in a double header

[petegz28]

What's the team record for hits?

26

[tk13]

Hey, what's the team record for hits?

[petegz28]

Fever just a little quick on the call of DDJ grounding out

The answer we were looking for was... Gary Coleman. Gary Coleman.

[DeezNutz]

Are the Celtics losing? I'd love for tonight to firmly root Boston in 24 hours of deep depression.

[siberian khatru]

I envision Zack Greinke sitting on the bench staring at the field like some orphaned kid alone at the park watching all the other kids play with their parents, thinking: Tomorrow I lose 2-0.

[SnakeXJones]

Sox are going to bring a position player in to pitch???

LMAO I just saw that ROFL they didnt say but i have no clue didnt get a look at him

[petegz28]

Are the Celtics losing? I'd love for tonight to firmly root Boston in 24 hours of deep depression.

55-42 Boston at the half

[alnorth]

we need 7 hits to break the franchise hit record and they are bringing in a position player to pitch. Could be interesting.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Gotta root for Paul Pierce

That's just the KU grad in me

[tk13]

Man Bill Hall is out there painting the black. LMAO If we weren't winning by 7 this wouldn't be funny.

[Oso]

lol

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Bill Hall for Cy Young

[Crush]

Fuck Boston and their arrogant sports teams.

[siberian khatru]

Man Bill Hall is out there painting the black. LMAO If we weren't winning by 7 this wouldn't be funny.

That reminds me -- have you seen TPJ's pitching stats in AA? Impressive.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Awww ****! Yuni is back

:D

[petegz28]

HA HA!!!

Suck it, Boston!!! You overpaid cocksuckers!!!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Ballgame.

:D

[petegz28]

:D

Um, I meant that in a good way. You know, like, "oh shit, better look out, Boston, Yuni is back"

Yea, that's what I meant

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Victory rep all around

:bravo:

[Mama Hip Rockets]

David's ****ing hot.

you sound like my wife.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

it is night and day on how good our bullpen looks since Yost took over

[Mr. Arrowhead]

you sound like my wife.

LMAO mine says the same thing

[SnakeXJones]

Awesome win

[petegz28]

This was a very, very good win. Get down 3-0 in the 1st to Boston at Boston. Could have easily wrote it off as their night. Especially when it went to 5-2. Hopefully this team will understand that if they can come back against the Red Sox they can come back against anyone.

[petegz28]

Oh yea, and no bunts this game.

[Reaper16]

Holy shit. Maybe I should have watched this game.

[tk13]

I'm just throwing this out there. But after doing some research, the last time the Royals made the playoffs, it was during the final season of Different Strokes.

[ChiTown]

Oh yea, and no bunts this game.

Maybe the best part. :D

[ChiTown]

Gary Coleman be with us :)

[petegz28]

Maybe the best part. :D

Down 3-0 in the 1st, Hillman would have had us bunting out of the gate.


Now don't get me wrong, I am a fan of the bunt. I think it is a useful tactic but when applied at the right time for the right reasons.

[Crush]

Gary Coleman be with us :)


RIP Bill Lumbergh

[Mama Hip Rockets]

RIP Bill Lumbergh

That's Gary Cole, dawg.

[Crush]

That's Gary Cole, dawg.


I loved him on Webster.

[KCUnited]

Nice win. Hopefully we don't get no hit with Grienke on the mound tomorrow.

[CaliforniaChief]

It's nice to see these guys show up and pound Boston in their yard. Now let's keep this offense going and get a 2009 performance from Greinke to wrap up a win and give us a chance for a 4 game sweep at Fenway.

I'm very encouraged.

[KChiefs1]

It's like a completely different team with Yost as manager.

[alnorth]

Now don't get me wrong, I am a fan of the bunt. I think it is a useful tactic but when applied at the right time for the right reasons.

Probably the same way I'm a fan of the suicide squeeze and the 5-man infield... but not very often and only in situations where its really needed.

[jbwm89]

It's like a completely different team with Yost as manager.

This team can be streaky with someone with a consistent approach at manager.

I love to get excited but I have been let down so many times by the boys in blue. If we win tomorrow I will get excited about this season.
