"I was down talking to Moose before the game, and he said, 'Hud, I just love it when the franchise gives away bullshit pine tar toothpicks! It just fires me up, Hud!'"

[lewdog]

In for a win!!!

[alnorth]

same lineup for the Royals today, except Quintero in for Pena.

The Yorkies dropped Teixeira to #5.

[BigChiefFan]

8-17. Jesus H, they can't even play .500 baseball. How many flippin' years until they get their shit together? Get some pitching, dumbasses.

[DeezNutz]

According to Snugga, David Glass is petitioning the commissioner's office to try to get the "quality start" designation changed from 3 in 6 innings to 4 in 5 innings.

[stonedstooge]

Hope Paulino has good stuff tonight

[alnorth]

According to Snugga, David Glass is petitioning the commissioner's office to try to get the "quality start" designation changed from 3 in 6 innings to 4 in 5 innings.

In all seriousness, it ought to be changed to 2 in 6. 3 in 6 isn't bad, but I look at it as "eh, that'll do", not "quality".

So did Paulino bounce Mendoza out of the rotation? I saw Coleman was the one who was optioned.

[alnorth]

So did Paulino bounce Mendoza out of the rotation? I saw Coleman was the one who was optioned.

I don't think Mendoza has an option left, so he's probably lost his spot in the rotation.

Mendoza was kept on to pick up gum wrappers around the stadium.

[kstater]

LMAO 3 days in a row Dyson has skullfucked them.

[stonedstooge]

Big inning boys

[kstater]

Nice read Alice

[kstater]

BELLY

[stonedstooge]

w00t w00t. Royals up by 2

[KcMizzou]

Hell yeah... great start.

[alnorth]

Same plan as yesterday, I'm taking a shot of vodka for each Royals run

[KcMizzou]

Same plan as yesterday, I'm taking a shot of vodka for each Royals runI'm rooting for you to get black out drunk.

[stonedstooge]

Same plan as yesterday, I'm taking a shot of vodka for each Royals run

A 6 run inning would put you down for the count

[lewdog]

I am rooting for you to have to get your stomach pumped.

[SPATCH]

thank god this dude is back.

[alnorth]

I'd love to ask someone from the Royals what we saw in him. He was stinking up the joint in Colorado as a reliever, the Rockies discarded him after less than 20 innings, we grabbed him and throw him into the rotation. Did we think we saw something to fix, or was it pure luck out of desperation?

[stonedstooge]

What a shot in the arm it would be for the Royals if Paulino can give us a bunch of good outings again this year

[alnorth]

This umpire's strike zone is short and fat.

[stonedstooge]

This umpire's strike zone is short and fat.

I like that you can hear his calls over the mics. He lets you know what's going on

[Shogun]

just strike out frenchy

[stonedstooge]

Cock your arm alnorth for a 3 shot

[petegz28]

Typical..Frenchy swinging so god damn hard he losed the bat....Quit trying to rip the cover off the ball you dumb fuck

[petegz28]

Here comes an automatic out in humberto

[Shogun]

Here comes an automatic out in humberto

HES GOING YARD

[petegz28]

In fact, when was the last time Humberto got a hit?

[petegz28]

WTF was that, Ump?

[petegz28]

Paulino looking excellent

[stonedstooge]

Paulino making it look easy so far

[Al Bundy]

Moore traded an actual prospect for a guy that can't hit.

[Shogun]

lol hosmer walked on the bag like "not a single fuck was given"

[petegz28]

Offense needs to step it up for this guy. He is pitching his ass off and we have left 2 runs at least on the bases.

[KcMizzou]

lol hosmer walked on the bag like "not a single **** was given"lol... yep.

Let's get some runs.

[petegz28]

Getz is hitting .325 batting 8th and Escobar is hitting .275 and is batting 9th while Humberto is hitting .238 and batting 7th. Something is wrong there.

[Shogun]

Getz is hitting .325 batting 8th and Escobar is hitting .275 and is batting 9th while Humberto is hitting .238 and batting 7th. Something is wrong there.

Id trade moose and Hoz and whoever is at the catcher spot at a given night and escobar, then i like the lineup

[petegz28]

Rotten luck, Escobar...good swing

[alnorth]

[petegz28]

Id trade moose and Hoz and whoever is at the catcher spot at a given night and escobar, then i like the lineup

I'd move Moose up to 5th, drop Frenchy to 6th then bat Getz, Escobar, C

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

It's nice to have Paulino back it seems.

[petegz28]

Ump shouldn't have giveen him time there

[KcMizzou]

That was awkward.

[petegz28]

Sit down, faggot

[KcMizzou]

Nice.

[petegz28]

Hey, Fever....fuck the Yankee fans

[petegz28]

Here they go again with this bloop shit

[Al Bundy]

And here is where having a no talent sack of shit like Humberto Quintero as your every day starting catcher could bite you.

[Shogun]

when does cain come back?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Who's your favorite Little Rascal?

[petegz28]

when does cain come back?

4 weeks at least

[petegz28]

WTF was that?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

It's funny seeing the Yanks start guys like Wise and Nunez.

[petegz28]

fuck

[stonedstooge]

Come on Paulino.

[petegz28]

Our lack of scoring may be catching up to us this inning

[Al Bundy]

I almost want to turn this off....

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Sorry I spoke too soon.

[Shogun]

phew

[petegz28]

Good job, Paulino!!!

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Paulino pitches out of it

[KcMizzou]

Shew!

Alright batters, let's get alnorth drunk.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Ok I didn't speak too soon...

[Al Bundy]

Really good pitch from Paulino.

[lewdog]

Ok I didn't speak too soon...

You never speak too soon, big boy.......

[KcMizzou]

There ya go Gordo

[Al Bundy]

Now why is that fucking douchebag wearing that shitty looking Deadbird shirt to a fucking Royals-Yankees game?

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

You never speak too soon, big boy.......

Sometimes too much if not too soon heh.

[lewdog]

Now why is that ****ing douchebag wearing that shitty looking Deadbird shirt to a ****ing Royals-Yankees game?

I will never understand why people wear apparel of teams that aren't even playing. That just bugs the shit out of me!

[petegz28]

SWEET!!!!

[stonedstooge]

Belly with the double. Royals up 3 to zip

[Shogun]

billy!

[KcMizzou]

Drink alnorth!

Haha

[JoeyChuckles]

When functioning properly, I would be kinda scared about the top of our lineup if I were another team.

[stonedstooge]

Hosmer can't catch a break

[alnorth]

Drink alnorth!

Haha

done, still got plenty of vodka left

[petegz28]

Ok, we need to take up a collection to have a Medium exorcise the demons from Hos. Dude tags the ball but always right at someone.

[KcMizzou]

****in' Hosmer just has the worst luck ever right now.

[alnorth]

I will never understand why people wear apparel of teams that aren't even playing. That just bugs the shit out of me!

outside of spring training anyway, its understandable to go wander over to a game where your team's not at sometimes in Phoenix.

[petegz28]

Frenchy gonna give away an out

[petegz28]

OMG, French got a hit??? That's like 2 nights in a row....

[KcMizzou]

C'mon Moose

[JoeyChuckles]

Quintero has this mfer.

[petegz28]

I would never change a pitcher just because Humberto is coming to the plate. In fact I feel like slapping the Yankees for giving him that much credit.

[petegz28]

Moose had the right idea but with Belly at 3rd he damn near has to hit it to the wall

[alnorth]

I would never change a pitcher just because Humberto is coming to the plate. In fact I feel like slapping the Yankees for giving him that much credit.

no kidding

[alnorth]

calling it now: weak bloop dropping into no-man's land.

[JoeyChuckles]

When does Salvador come back?

[stonedstooge]

Quintero might try swinging instead of just throwing the bat out there

[Al Bundy]

yep.. another RISP left... thanks for that trade Dayton.

[petegz28]

When does Salvador come back?

Not soon enough. This Humberto guy is terrible at the plate. No business batting 7th. I would much rather have seen Getz or Escobar at the plate the last to AB's Humberto had.

[alnorth]

Top 6th

Granderson doubles to right
Rodriguez flies into a 9-5 double play, Granderson out at third
Cano singles to left
Teixeira flies out to right

0 runs, 2 hits

Bottom 6th

Escobar singles to right, Getz to third

Boone Logan relieves Eppley

Escobar steals second
Dyson sacrifices (fly) to center, Getz scores
Gordon doubles to center, Escobar scores
Butler intentionally walked
Hosmer called out (infield fly)
Francoeur grounds out to second

2 runs, 2 hits

[petegz28]

yep.. another RISP left... thanks for that trade Dayton.

In fairness we had to trade because Pina was hurt so our backup's backup wasn't available.

[lewdog]

Top 6th

Granderson
Rodriguez
Cano

Have to clamp down here. Gotta get through this stretch of the lineup for Paulino here.

[Shogun]

Not soon enough. This Humberto guy is terrible at the plate. No business batting 7th. I would much rather have seen Getz or Escobar at the plate the last to AB's Humberto had.

we could be in MUCH worse position at catcher right now. We're fortunate if our biggest problem in the lineup is Hosmer keeps lining out hard and quintero being offensively inept.

[alnorth]

I'd pull Paulino if the winning run comes up to bat. Maybe the tying run if he looks awful vs A-Rod

[Shogun]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[petegz28]

NAILED THAT BITCH!

[stonedstooge]

Fucking FRENCHY!!!!

[Al Bundy]

Sit your ass down Granderson.

[Toadkiller]

Woot Fucking gun him down!

[lewdog]

Woof....monster throw.

[stonedstooge]

Loves me some defense

[petegz28]

Another bloop hit. The Yank's ahve had 1 good hit and that was Granderson's double. Which, btw, was on a great pitch.


And Frenchy has an All-Star inning

[KcMizzou]

Frenchy! x2!!!

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Wonder how that douche a-rod with another a-bomb Yankee announcer called that.

[alnorth]

I'm taking a shot for that. Frenchy essentially scored a run there.

[KcMizzou]

I'm taking a shot for that. Frenchy essentially scored a run there.:thumb:

[petegz28]

I'm taking a shot for that. Frenchy essentially scored a run there.

Maybe 2. that ball gets by him and cano scores most likely

[Shogun]

GETZ HITTING FOR MORE POWER

[Shogun]

NO ONE GETZ SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER

[petegz28]

Ok, time for a hit and run or a straight steal or something. Put the pressure on.

[alnorth]

Maybe 2. that ball gets by him and cano scores most likely

hmmm... nah, defensive runs are speculative to some extent. Need 2 defensive runs.

[alnorth]

Ok, time for a hit and run or a straight steal or something. Put the pressure on.

Given who is coming up, sure why not. Lets play for 1 run.

[petegz28]

You don't bunt Escobar with Dyson coming up behind him....

[stonedstooge]

Damn ump don't need to let the bastards take their time in our park

[alnorth]

welp, so much for running. need to play it straight now

[petegz28]

K, Yost...get your head out of your ass....this is the time to be running the bases

[stonedstooge]

Nice piece of hitting Alcides

[Shogun]

great ab

[KcMizzou]

Well done... :clap:

[petegz28]

Great AB for Esobar....I still think Getz should have stolen....might have been run #4

[petegz28]

Giradi really cracks me up...bringing in new pitchers to guys who don't hit well at all.

[petegz28]

Do we go for the safety squeeze here?

[alnorth]

Do we go for the safety squeeze here?

I wouldn't be opposed to it

[Shogun]

Do we go for the safety squeeze here?

i think you do it

[stonedstooge]

Do we go for the safety squeeze here?

Takes a good bunter. Not sure Dyson is one

[KcMizzou]

Let's blow this game open... we need one of those.

[alnorth]

yep, we went for it.

[petegz28]

Esciobar has to go here

[Shogun]

got it anyways

[alnorth]

lets squeeze again, if it works, we can sac in escobar

[Shogun]

yeah tack on another!

[CaliforniaChief]

The bottom of the order producing a big run here.

[Shogun]

alexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[stonedstooge]

Nice hit Alex. Royals up 5-0

[KcMizzou]

Alex F'n Gordon. Dominating.

[Canofbier]

Gordon playing some catch-up with his average tonight!

[CaliforniaChief]

Awesome. Let's do this.

[CaliforniaChief]

Hosmer needs to make them pay right here and right now.

[Canofbier]

I don't enjoy watching the Yankees' pitching coach job to the mound...that shirt does a poor job of hiding his boobies as they bounce around.

[CaliforniaChief]

Geez.

[alnorth]

someday, I'm going to reliably remember the infield fly rule. Every time its called, I'm chalking it up as a popout.

[alnorth]

[Canofbier]

Nice job by Paulino.

[alnorth]

If we wont bring up Gio, then lets at least bench Yuni's ass and play Getz every day.

[stonedstooge]

I bet hitters love when they see a pitch like that coming

[KcMizzou]

Ok, Hud made me laugh.

[Canofbier]

Ok, Hud made me laugh.

Heh, me too. Bastard.

[stonedstooge]

Dyson broke sideways on that one

[Shogun]

Ok, Hud made me laugh.

whatd he say, i was taking a piss

[KcMizzou]

whatd he say, i was taking a pissOn Frenchy : He's thrown out more guys than a Bourbon Street bouncer.

[petegz28]

Dyson broke sideways on that one

He had no shot at it anyway

[Canofbier]

whatd he say, i was taking a piss

He said that Frenchy throws more people out than a Bourbon Street bouncer, or something along those lines.

[stonedstooge]

He had no shot at it anyway

I know, but he has no skills at predicting where the ball is going. I don't know if I've ever seen a centerfielder without that skill

[alnorth]

Yankees are waving the white flag. Garcia used to be decent, but he's old and now hilariously bad.

[stonedstooge]

All I Want is Respect Pooholes booed in Aneheim.

[alnorth]

All I Want is Respect Pooholes booed in Aneheim.

If he's getting abused by his new fans, he can go home and cry into his pile of money

[stonedstooge]

If he's getting abused by his new fans, he can go home and cry into his pile of money

Only way it could be better is if he was still in St. Louis

[stonedstooge]

Missed on several meatballs that inning

Jake Odorizzi tonight: 7.1 IP, 2 H, R, BB, 11 K, HR

[petegz28]

Is Jones jawing? Toss him! That's the 2nd Yankee in 3 games to cry about the zone

[BryanBusby]

Paulino and Duffy might end up being two pretty damn solid pieces of a rotation.

[Paniero]

Yes! Good game for once.

No.

Would be nice to get the minorleague update in the main game posts like last year

[Mr. Arrowhead]

how many points did Gordon raise his average with his 4 hit game

[007]

What a great night. Had a blast.

[Gracie Dean]

Awesome game tonight. It is always good to beat the spankmes

[SnakeXJones]

Damn too bad I had to miss this game great win

[ChiTown]

The really good news is that the Royals are just 5.5 back after last nights win. Thank God we play in a shitty division.
