George, when you get down about the Royals...think of the Cubs. 100 plus years and counting. Wow.

[gblowfish]

At least the Cubs have made the playoffs in the last 20 years.
They feel sorry for us.

[Frazod]

At least the Royals have won a World Series during our lifetimes.

Fuck the Cubs.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

At least the Cubs have made the playoffs in the last 20 years.
They feel sorry for us.

Soooo, you'd trade that championship in 85 for a couple of meaningless, heart breaking defeats?? There are generations of Cubbie fans that don't know what that feeling is like and back then all it probably got was a golf clap from the folks in suits in attendence.

[tk13]

Yeah, screw that, nothing tops not winning a title for 100+ years.

[Gonzo]

Cuck the fubs.

I need some Harry Carey!
Harry was really losing it. I remember watching a Cubs game and the call by Carey went something like this ...

Here's the delivery ... *sound of bat strilking the ball*

There's a drive ......... to deep center field ......... and it's ......... caught, by the second baseman.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I'd watch that sad sack team just to hear Harry Carey call the game. Jack Buck and Harry...they don't make em like they used to.

[kstater]

At least Bruce absorbed the overall suck from the other pitchers whilst on the DL.

[SPchief]

Nice grab MOOSE!

[kstater]

Frenchy joins the suck too.

[SPchief]

And Frenchy is hurt

[whoman69]

Is someone named Roosevelt running for President? Last time the Cubs were in the series Franklin Roosevelt was President when the season started in 1945. Last time the Cubs won the World Series Teddy Roosevelt was President.

[SPchief]

He didnt look bad that 1st inning

And there's plenty of Royals fans (myself included) that haven't seen their team in the playoffs. Not that I want to be the Cubs, but the Royals haven't been good since I was about 4 or 5 (2003 doesn't count, everyone saw that coming).

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

BRUUUUCE

Ok, your parents witnessed a title. Your great-great grandparents may have read about the Cubbos winning one LMAO In 80 years we can give you guys the woe is me treatment.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Dominating slide

[kstater]

Cubs announcer says that ball sounded good when it hit the glove of the catcher.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Tie game

[Pasta Little Brioni]

These guys are super homer morons.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Sit the fuck down

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Nice

[kstater]

Jesus

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

LOL WUT Getz?

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Thanks Getz. could have had the lead :banghead:

[kstater]

Why the fuck steal in that situation?

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

What's up with stealing third with 2 outs?

Stupid

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

LOL Soriano

[Al Bundy]

Man, these are two horrible teams.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

FRENCHY

[kstater]

LMAO

Cubs announcer says he doesn't think they'll see any HR's in the series because of the ball park. At the exact same time that Frenchy hits one.

[tk13]

Yeah, that one will end up on the Not Top Announcing plays of the week. Frenchy sure tagged that one though.

[Al Bundy]

So far the Cubs are outsucking the Royals.

[kstater]

I thought Hosmer had plate discipline? He hasn't shown much tonight.

[kstater]

MOOSE

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Tuffy Rhodes

That's a name I haven't heard in a while

[kstater]

JFC fatass

[kstater]

And really, that's really more on the baseline coach for sending him.

[Al Bundy]

You slowfooted slaphitting fat fuck.

[kstater]

Good god the Cubs are worse at baserunning than the Royals

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

DOMINATING

[tk13]

They forgot to put on the promotional schedule that it's "Get thrown out on the bases" night at the K.

[kstater]

And they're not just getting thrown out, the fielders have time for a drink while they wait for the runner.

Announcer for the .405 Cubs:

PBP-Kansas City has the most Boulevards in the US, second in the world to Paris.

Color-Paris doesn't have a Major League team either.

Francoeur & Gordon have been phenomenal this year in the outfield.

Royals won the World Series in 1985.

I'm positive my long dead grandpa wasn't even born yet the last time the Cubs won one.

[ChiefsCountry]

Royals fans should not bitch about Ryan being our tv announcer.

That's fairly typical of Cubs arrogance. The fans are the same way.

Considering that you'd have to be around 107 to have actual memories of the last Cubs world series win, and in your mid 60s to remember the last Cubs world series loss, you'd think they'd be more humble, or at the very least a bit more quiet. But they aren't.

[Al Bundy]

Those guys can fuck off.

I heard that while not paying close attention and did a double-take and said "really?" out loud to myself. Thought well you must mean Chicago doesn't have a major league team then but they have the Sox. Pretty amazing dumbassery there. Other than the actual history, check the two teams records right now. We're 1 GAME BETTER! LOL.... for now at least.

[KCUnited]

That looks like a catch.

[Frazod]

That was bullshit.

[Pitt Gorilla]

That was clearly a catch. WTF?

[petegz28]

WTF Ump? You blind dumb mother fucker

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Rookie mistake Moustakas taking time to show the ball to the ump then trying to throw out a speedy runner. Make the damn play then figure it out.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Rookie mistake Moustakas taking time to show the ball to the ump then trying to throw out a speedy runner. Make the damn play then figure it out.Immaterial; he caught the ball, ergo the guy was out.

[petegz28]

Thanks Ump.....fucking dickhead

[KCUnited]

You're shitting me.

[petegz28]

They'll take the lead here with a guy who should have never been on base

[Al Bundy]

Getz isn't worth a shit.

[petegz28]

:facepalm:

[Demonpenz]

getz not flashy just makes the routine plays

[Frazod]

Wow. What a dick.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Fuck you Getz

[Pitt Gorilla]

**** Getz.

[petegz28]

So what's this...5 in a row we lose now? No, 6

[Blankey]

Fuck everything

[Demonpenz]

this has meltdown hit ken harvey in the back type of series written on it

[petegz28]

error on Getz aside, there never should have been a runner on 3rd

[petegz28]

That's the game

[KCUnited]

I'd throw the next pitch at DeJesus's dad coaching 3rd base.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Immaterial; he caught the ball, ergo the guy was out.

Opposite of immaterial. The ump said he didn't and whether he caught it or not isn't the point. The time he took to show the ball to the ump cost him 2-3steps by the runner on replay on WGN. Had he not assumed he'd have thrown the guy out and they wouldn't have now scored that run. Don't assume make the play.

[Al Bundy]

The Cubs can suck my balls.

[Al Bundy]

Rookie mistake+incompetent ump= Cubs.

Don't assume make the play.If one catches the ball, the batter is out; it doesn't matter if it's a fly ball in the outfield or a poor bunt attempt. When did the ball hit the ground?

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Rookie mistake+incompetent ump= Cubs.

That I can accept.

[KChiefs1]

I thought Getz was good?

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

If one catches the ball, the batter is out; it doesn't matter if it's a fly ball in the outfield or a poor bunt attempt. When did the ball hit the ground?

omg... what does matter is the ump said he didn't catch the ball. So then the time he took to show it to the ump cost us the out he would have gotten if he'd just thrown it. I'm not saying the ump was right I'm saying you can't assume anything especially on a close play.

[CaliforniaChief]

Jeebus Melky launched that one.

[CaliforniaChief]

Melky got a call there.

[CaliforniaChief]

Hoz needs to sit dead red first pitch.

[CaliforniaChief]

fastball right here, billy.

[ChiefsCountry]

Announcer for the .405 Cubs:

You left out the part before. They talked about Rome and he said Rome didn't have a major league team. Thus the comment that Paris doesn't have a team either.

[KCUnited]

That's sad when the opposing crowd gets a called 3rd strike against you.

[CaliforniaChief]

Single ties it here.

[Priest31kc]

Come on Gordo

[milkman]

Well, whatdayaknow, fatass gets a double in a critical situation.

That's 3.

[Priest31kc]

6 losses in a row!

[Pitt Gorilla]

Well, whatdayaknow, fatass gets a double in a critical situation.

That's 3.Clearly not "clutch."

[Al Bundy]

Looks like the Royals are about ready to mail it in.

[milkman]

Hosmer has completely lost the discipline at the plate he displayed when he first came up.

[Al Bundy]

The Royals have folded.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Looks like the Royals are about ready to mail it in.Disagree; Getz ****ing up doesn't mean the Royals have given up.

[milkman]

Clearly not "clutch."

Do you know what I mean by "that's 3"?

[Pitt Gorilla]

Do you know what I mean by "that's 3"?Evidently, you're a numbers guy.

[Al Bundy]

Disagree; Getz ****ing up doesn't mean the Royals have given up.

Ohh I disagree, Getz screwing up doesn't mean it, but bringing up Davies will mean it.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

That 9th inning in a nutshell is what makes the Royals the Royals. Probably should have won, found a way to lose.

[gblowfish]

Well, that's one more team that's not worse than us. Royals now fall below the Cubs. Now if we could just play Houston....
I'm all about the draft picks now.

[Al Bundy]

That 9th inning in a nutshell is what makes the Royals the Royals. Probably should have won, found a way to lose.

That is it in a nutshell. This is a bad team with no pitching and when the defense makes a mistake it is magnified, simply because all of the pitchers are mentally weak and can't make up for it.

[KChiefs1]

Hosmer has completely lost the discipline at the plate he displayed when he first came up.

Omaha bound or just the bench for awhile?

[KChiefs1]

#1 is looking good.

"Mentally Weak" is the correct term to use.

[58kcfan89]

Dammit.

I'm going to the game on Sunday but am willing to bet I'll want to off myself by the 3rd inning between all the Cub fans & shitty play... Bring on the draft picks! Again!

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'm going too and I'm driving 8 hours round trip to do it. I'm what they call a moron.

[58kcfan89]

I'm going too and I'm driving 8 hours round trip to do it. I'm what they call a moron.

LMAO
Guess that 6 hour round trip from Wichita doesn't look quite as bad. Please tell me you did what I did & got the least expensive tickets & are gunna troll around the park....

I may just hang in the outfield & find those douchebags who brought the "Wrigley Field West" sign and throw it into an aids tree. I can't ever really recall having problems with Cub fans*, as 2 of my best friends go for em, but seeing that sign pissed me off to no end for some reason.

*Except for hearing their "Woe is us" crap from people my age (early 20s) who turn around & say "at least I've seen my team in the playoffs" when I try & talk shit on them. Kinda hard to explain, but really annoying.

[milkman]

Omaha bound or just the bench for awhile?

I'd start by dropping back down to the 6 hole.

I'm buying cheap tix at the gate and meeting an old friend. We'll watch some from the nosebleed and walk around a lot of the time too. I'll stand next to you at the fence and not speak since I don't know who you are.

All opposing fans are annoying generally... luckily I'm 42 and saw the good days. Makes being a Royals fan a little less shitty. I salute you youngin's for being fans when you've never seen any winning. Trust me it used to be good.

[ChiTown]

That game was just pure fkg crap. JFC, this team is frustrating to watch.

[Deberg_1990]

heh, this organization is so bad, its become comical.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

heh, this organization is so bad, its become comical.

It's good that you're always here to remind us. We may forget otherwise.

[chiefsfan987]

10 years ago it was comical. Now its just sad.

[Al Bundy]

It's good that you're always here to remind us. We may forget otherwise.

This one hurts.... fuck the Cubs.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

This one hurts.... **** the Cubs.

Yes it does. There's been a lot of pain in the last 26 years.

[teedubya]

Yeah, and hopefully we draft another Luke Hochevar!!!
