KC Royals @ Boston Red Sox--July 26

[stonedstooge]

Rain in the forcast again. Hope we're not in for another marathon game tonight

[stonedstooge]

Hosmer with an RBI in the first

[Archie F. Swin]

this Saux pitcher is throwing BP

[stonedstooge]

Royals put up a pair in the top of the first

[Al Bundy]

and just like that.....

[stonedstooge]

And Duffy gives them both back

[Al Bundy]

Duffy was scared shitless for the first batter of the game.

[stonedstooge]

Looks like it's going to be quite a pitching duel tonight

[Al Bundy]

Damn, right at him.

[Archie F. Swin]

will the real belly Butler , please stand up?

[stonedstooge]

Billy knocks in two

[Archie F. Swin]

I would shit if Hoz went yard.

[Bambi]

nice one Tubby

[Al Bundy]

Andrew Miller is Luke Hochavering it 4 innings early.

[Bambi]

I would shit if Hoz went yard.

he sure is trying

[Mr. Laz]

How will we have any chance of winning without Blowfish and his "we're DOooooooooooooomed!!!" attitude?

[Archie F. Swin]

her gut is almost as big as Billy's

[Mr. Laz]

did he get banned?
nah ... i just haven't seen him around today.

actually haven't seen him since he posted his "Royals/Sox ... what's the point?" thread. ROFL

[stonedstooge]

her gut is almost as big as Billy's

Bet she can run faster

[Mr. Laz]

her gut is almost as big as Billy's
The Omaha is strong in this one

[JD10367]

her gut is almost as big as Billy's

You are a fucking retard. She is ridiculously hot. Google her, if you can figure out how to. She's the only reason I watch the Sox games in HD.

[stonedstooge]

Baserunning blunders continue

[Archie F. Swin]

little opportunistic there, Frenchy

[Bambi]

Andrew Miller sucks.

[Archie F. Swin]

the Saux fielding looks pretty pedestrian.

[Mr. Laz]

well Frenchy's aggressive base running probably just cost us a run right there.

[Bambi]

Put on the Yankee game.

CC has 10 strikeouts in 5 innings, 0 hits.

fuckin dealing

[Bambi]

You are a ****ing retard. She is ridiculously hot. Google her, if you can figure out how to. She's the only reason I watch the Sox games in HD.

chill out dude. Billy is a professional athlete. There are worse comparisons out there. :)

[stonedstooge]

And Duffy gives up the lead. Damn

[Mr. Laz]

Duffy Disaster


Kid should be back in the minors learning and getting his confidence back

[Bambi]

Don't worry. Their pitcher is a disaster and the bullpens are all spent.

[tk13]

Put on the Yankee game.

CC has 10 strikeouts in 5 innings, 0 hits.

fuckin dealing

Mariners are in an all-time nosedive.

[Al Bundy]

I'm not going to kill Duffy on a night like tonight. He is pitching against a possible world series champion. I am going to kick the shit out of Frenchy for letting Andrew fucking Miller off the hook. If he hadn't been Belly Butlering it on the basepaths the score would be much much different.

[Bambi]

Why mess with Crawford? Just toss it underhand to him.

She's pretty on her face

Hey noonan, long time no see

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

So the Red Sox are playing a game and I CAN'T WATCH IT ON ESPN!!!??? WTF!!!??? Oh yeah they're playing the Royals.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Hey noonan, long time no see

I saw you 2 days ago when I started your bday thread. You're welcome.

:thumb:

[stonedstooge]

Bday thread? Must have missed it

Bday thread? Must have missed it

Why do you hate me?

ROFL Kids came over for a barbeque. And after 50 who the hell is counting? Thanks for the thought though

bumped it for ya.... because that's what a fellow Royals fan deserves lol

[stonedstooge]

Looks like I got Bug fooled

[stonedstooge]

GORDON GONE

[Mr. Laz]

dominating

[Old Dog]

Nice way to bust out of a slump

[stonedstooge]

Butler is finally coming to life

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Looks like I got Bug fooled

That's the important thing.

and delayed WOOOOOT for Gordon since I'm not able to watch the game

[RockChalk]

Damn. Hosmer just missed that pitch

[MIAdragon]

her gut is almost as big as Billy's

your and idiot.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Moose almost got that one out

[MIAdragon]

the scoring will end Royals.

[Bambi]

I wonder if Alex and Billy have ever homer'd in the same game before.

[stonedstooge]

Both bullpens come into play early tonight

[KCUnited]

I wonder if Alex and Billy have ever homer'd in the same game before.

April 05 of this year comes to mind, against Chicago.

[RockChalk]

Both bullpens come into play early tonight

Exactly what both managers wanted after last night's game

[Brianfo]

Put on the Yankee game.

CC has 10 strikeouts in 5 innings, 0 hits.

****in dealing

Fuk the yankees & fuk you too for posting this drizzle in a Royals thread.

[Bambi]

ugh, didn't go

[stonedstooge]

Exactly what both managers wanted after last night's game

Royals look to have a stronger bullpen then the Red Sox

[cabletech94]

Fuk the yankees & fuk you too for posting this drizzle in a Royals thread.

anyone who hates the yankees is a friend of mine. REP!!!!!

[RockChalk]

Royals look to have a stronger bullpen then the Red Sox

That may be the case, but Adcock looks like he's not even going to make it 1/3 of an inning.

[stonedstooge]

Royals look to have a stronger bullpen then the Red Sox

Nevermind

[JD10367]

And the Red Sox are back to within a point at 7-6! The extra point attempt, after this commercial break. (Maybe they'll go for two.)

[MIAdragon]

Royals look to have a stronger bullpen then the Red Sox

are you kidding?

[MIAdragon]

That may be the case, but Adcock looks like he's not even going to make it 1/3 of an inning.

its not.

[stonedstooge]

are you kidding?

No

[Bambi]

JFC

[MIAdragon]

No

ok

[stonedstooge]

Is Wakefield still pitching?

[MIAdragon]

Is Wakefield still pitching?

Yes sir.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

are you kidding?

The Royals have an excellent pen, seriously.

[stonedstooge]

He's an inspiration to all of us old farts

[RockChalk]

its not.

The Royals have one of the best bullpens in baseball. Several relievers with sub 2 ERA's. Overall 3.37 ERA.

Boston isn't far behind with an overall 3.53

So it's not a stretch to say the Royals bullpen is as good, if not better than Boston. It's not a slight at Boston. You all have one of the best teams in baseball. I'd gladly trade places.

[Bambi]

cut aviles tonight

[RockChalk]

Wow. That's a blast from the past Royals play right there.

[RockChalk]

cut aviles tonight

+1000000000000000

[Mr. Laz]

Aviles still haunts us

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Fucking Aviles

[JD10367]

Wow. That's a blast from the past Royals play right there.

What, the ol' "sacrifice bunt-error-triple"?

[Mr. Laz]

we must cut silly shit like this out like a cancer.

I don't care what Aviles brings to the table, he's gotta go. Now!!

[RockChalk]

What, the ol' "sacrifice bunt-error-triple"?

Yes. A staple of the Trey Hilman era

Why Mike Aviles is on this team is a mystery to me

[stonedstooge]

And the wheels fall off

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

And the wheels fall off

I'm glad gamecast froze up

[RockChalk]

Ah, so we sit down Adcock in favor for a slightly less worse pitcher in Wood.

Prediction: He'll either get out of the bases loaded jam with no runs or he'll clear the bases. No in between for this clown. He's either feast or famine every time out.

[Al Bundy]

Adcock and Aviles 2 guys that showed very little effort in the circus play.

[MIAdragon]

Ah, so we sit down Adcock in favor for a slightly less worse pitcher in Wood.

Prediction: He'll either get out of the bases loaded jam with no runs or he'll clear the bases. No in between for this clown. He's either feast or famine every time out.

is he young? He looks like he has good stuff.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'd really be interested in hearing Dayton explain to us why he hates Johnny Giavotella.

[stonedstooge]

I'd really be interested in hearing Dayton explain to us why he hates Johnny Giavotella.

Wonder why he hasn't been brought up if he is performing so well. There must be a reason

[Al Bundy]

is he young? He looks like he has good stuff.

Blake Wood? No, he's a piece of shit with zero chance at ever amounting to anything in the big leagues. He is only pitching because he pitches for the organization that cares the lest about winning.

[stonedstooge]

Looks like the ERA's of the bullpens are coming closer together

[RockChalk]

is he young? He looks like he has good stuff.

Wood? or Adcock?

Adcock is young, rule 5 acquisition. He's been pretty lackluster.

Wood is young, inconsistent and generally sucks.

These two are by far the toilet bowl of our bullpen. We threw out all of our horses last night. This game has all the makings of becoming a real laugher, complete with a position player throwing for the Royals in a few innings.

[Bambi]

BP

[Al Bundy]

Looks like the ERA's of the bullpens are coming closer together

Mainly because they are hitting against the 2 guys in the pen who are not major league pitchers.

[Bambi]

I'd really be interested in hearing Dayton explain to us why he hates Johnny Giavotella.

He's busy telling David Glass that we're still in the race.

[Bambi]

Even Crawford got a hit

[MIAdragon]

lucky bitch crawford

[Al Bundy]

Ned Yost waved the white flag bringing in Adcock sucker and Wood, although he had no choice. Those 2 really have zero talent.

[MIAdragon]

a 15 spot would be nice.

[MIAdragon]

Looks like the ERA's of the bullpens are coming closer together

took a quick peek at relief stats, the Sox are 2nd im baseball with a 1.18 WHIP the Royals are 12th with a 1.30. yea its not that close.

[RockChalk]

a 15 spot would be nice.

You'll get there.

As I said, all of our good arms went 2 innings last night.

Collins could probably go an inning. Same with Soria, but we don't want to waste him with the game getting out of hand.

[MIAdragon]

Lucky bitch

[RockChalk]

Nice play by Melky.

Another fantastic outing by Wood

[stonedstooge]

took a quick peek at relief stats, the Sox are 2nd im baseball with a 1.18 WHIP the Royals are 12th with a 1.30. yea its not that close.

And the Royals have a lower ERA? I stand by my statement

[MIAdragon]

You'll get there.

As I said, all of our good arms went 2 innings last night.

Collins could probably go an inning. Same with Soria, but we don't want to waste him with the game getting out of hand.

I get you, it makes it easier to swallow when you win the games where you used up your good relief. Its an extra kick in the balls when you dont.

[RockChalk]

I get you, it makes it easier to swallow when you win the games where you used up your good relief. Its an extra kick in the balls when you dont.

I didn't pay attention to Boston's side of the box score last night. Did they burn up their good arms too?

[Al Bundy]

took a quick peek at relief stats, the Sox are 2nd im baseball with a 1.18 WHIP the Royals are 12th with a 1.30. yea its not that close.

That really is on the two worthless sacks of shit the Red Sox got to face tonight.

[MIAdragon]

And the Royals have a lower ERA? I stand by my statement

where are you getting these stats??

[Dartgod]

Belly just needs a triple for the cycle.

[MIAdragon]

Belly just needs a triple for the cycle.

drive one to the triangle and he has a shot.

[RockChalk]

where are you getting these stats??

The ERA stats I used were from ESPN.

Like I said, both bullpens are good. You just kind of scoffed at the possibility of the Royals having a good, solid pen. I just wanted to point out that while they have plenty of problems, the pen isn't really one of them.

[stonedstooge]

Belly just needs a triple for the cycle.

That'll take two outfielders running into each other, knocking each other out, and an infielder running out to retrieve the ball and tripping over one of the outfielders laying on the ground

[Kraus]

That'll take two outfielders running into each other, knocking each other out, and an infielder running out to retrieve the ball and tripping over one of the outfielders laying on the ground

^ And that would still only result in a double.

[RockChalk]

It appears your guy is doing his best Wood impression.

[Bambi]

watching the red sox feed.

Heidi is eating french fries and hush puppies

[RockChalk]

^ And that would still only result in a double.

I think he could get to third, with a great slide.

[stonedstooge]

^ And that would still only result in a double.

ROFL

[Demonpenz]

uh oh. Lets dial up a bean ball war!

[tk13]

I don't know if the Royals bullpen is the best, but I would be curious to see how many other bullpens have three guys with a sub-2 ERA. And that doesn't include Soria.

[RockChalk]

It's definitely not the best in baseball, but it's one of the better ones. It's definitely not one of our concerns going forward.

[MIAdragon]

I stand corrected, they are better than I thought.

[MIAdragon]

if you're going by era they are 12th in MLB.

[RockChalk]

if you're going by era they are 12th in MLB.

Better than average.

You remove Adcock and Wood from the pen and they look even better. Of course, I know you can't do that. But those two clowns really bring the pen down.

[MIAdragon]

looks like with better starting pitching you would be in good shape huh.

[stonedstooge]

Wood can't hit the strike zone, but can plunk a Red Sox

[Bambi]

a fight would be awesome

[MIAdragon]

LoL like Aceves really wanted to hit Butler.

[stonedstooge]

looks like with better starting pitching you would be in good shape huh.

Been the curse all year

[MIAdragon]

a fight would be awesome

No, no it would not.

[RockChalk]

looks like with better starting pitching you would be in good shape huh.

No doubt, good starting pitching is our major problem.

Problem is that it's not just one or two good arms. We need 3 or 4.

[MIAdragon]

Been the curse all year

Happy Birthday man.

[RockChalk]

Been the curse for the last 15+ years

FYP

[stonedstooge]

Happy Birthday man.

Thanks dude

[MIAdragon]

No doubt, good starting pitching is our major problem.

Its the hardest part to come by in baseball.

[MIAdragon]

love that midget

[RockChalk]

Wood retaliating by hitting Gonzalez made me respect just a tiny bit more. That being said, he could still die by hitting a flaming aids tree while drinking antifreeze for all I care.

[MIAdragon]

time to call in the outfield.

[MIAdragon]

**** YOU CARL

[Bambi]

jesus crawford, what a disaster

[stonedstooge]

Damn Moose, can't be fouling off those pitches that are right down the middle

[MIAdragon]

couldn't have done that when the bases were juiced Tek!?

[JD10367]

Sox back up by two FGs.

[DeezNutz]

Carnival music.

[JD10367]

Carnival music.

Bad News Bears before they jelled, LOL.

[JD10367]

I hope ESPN has the highlights of tonight's game accompanied by the "Benny Hill" Theme.

[MIAdragon]

LMAO who is in the Royals pen??

[stonedstooge]

Cuddayer?

[RockChalk]

LMAO who is in the Royals pen??

Boom. I called this

Mitch Maier is coming in next.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

LMAO

Mitch Maier warming up

[SPchief]

Mitch Maier is now warming up in the pen

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I hope ESPN has the highlights of tonight's game accompanied by the "Benny Hill" Theme.

They showed abreviated highlights of last nights game since the Royals won. This Sox win will be top story tonight.

[JD10367]

They showed abreviated highlights of last nights game since the Royals won. This Sox win will be top story tonight.

Man, that's cynical. Just because all ESPN talks about is the Red Sox and Yankees and Colts and Patriots and Brett Favre and the Lakers, you act like they ignore the small markets or something. :D

NOTE: As I typed this I switched to ESPN and they're showing Red Sox highlights. LMAO

word

[stonedstooge]

Maier has a weenie arm. This ought to be good

[RockChalk]

Coming up next...the highlight or one moment us Royals fans will remember for June/July/August of the 2011 season.

[MIAdragon]

Maier has a weenie arm. This ought to be good

want to put money he gets a 1-2-3 inning?

[tk13]

Well this should be fun.

[stonedstooge]

want to put money he gets a 1-2-3 inning?

Wait till you see Francis throw if he pitches in this series

[Blankey]

Ok I can seriously pitch better than this right now.

[MIAdragon]

damn

[SPchief]

Maier is the first Royal to get Pedroia out tonight

[Coach]

Warning track power!

[KCUnited]

Confirmation, it's July for Royals baseball.

[MIAdragon]

LMAO this is awesome.

[Coach]

Goddamn ump, that was a strike!

[MIAdragon]

JFC did he just try to slip Ortiz a breaking ball

[KCUnited]

Maier could actually hit his own fastball.

[RockChalk]

Have to appreciate Pedroia going after the cycle there. Fell about 10 feet short.

[MIAdragon]

LMAO he did.

[MIAdragon]

EASY out!!!!11ONE!1!!!

[RockChalk]

JFC did he just try to slip Ortiz a breaking ball

That back door slider was strike 3

[MIAdragon]

just go kill yourself Carl

[MIAdragon]

That back door slider was strike 3

yes it was

[KCUnited]

Maier with his best Wakefield.

[SPchief]

Mitch Maier now has the best ERA on the team

[tk13]

Maier now has the best ERA in the bullpen.

[58-4ever]

Wow. Shaking my damn head

[tk13]

Mitch Maier now has the best ERA on the team

Prepost.

[stonedstooge]

If Blake Wood can hit, maybe we ought to switch him with Maier

[JD10367]

Prediction:

Top of the ninth. Royals rally to score 7.

Bottom of the ninth. Royals walk the bases loaded, and with two outs throw strike three but it gets away to the backstop and two runs score to end the game.

LMAO

shadup

[KevB]

Down 5, Aviles swings at the first two pitches both in the dirt. Nicely done asshole. Then to add to the misery, he weakly grounds to 3rd and gets doubled up. Well done.

[Al Bundy]

Mike Aviles is one of the biggest "Just happy to be here, don't give a fuck about losing" guys on the team.

[KevB]

Mike Aviles is one of the biggest "Just happy to be here, don't give a **** about losing" guys on the team.

It's just those kinds of little things that make good teams great and mediocre teams bad. Billy getting thrown out at 3rd, errors on bunts, Aviles not taking a pitch down 5 in the night, etc.

[stonedstooge]

Well tomorrow Boston has to face the Royals Ace

[MIAdragon]

Thanks for your time Miller now get your shit and kindly exit stage left.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I was mostly right. Sportscenter just started and "a Royal shelakin" (sp?) was the first story on the pre-show tease. Please don't pretend to anything less than predictable ESPN.

2nd story overall. Had to love the Yankees first.
