**** OFFICIAL 20120529 KC @ CLE GAME THREAD ****

[Nightfyre]

Hello fellow planeteers who just can't quit the Royals.

[SPATCH]

AG back at the top of the order. I like it.

[Nightfyre]

wew! leadoff man on...

[SPATCH]

JESUS TITTYFUCKING CHRIST

[petegz28]

Fucked by the Ump already

[Nightfyre]

What the fuck Yost. Get tossed you bitch.

[stonedstooge]

Startin the screwin early tonight

[Canofbier]

This second base ump can choke on a bag of dicks. Puts a bad taste in our team's mouth early in the game.

[Archie F. Swin]

what did I miss?

[Canofbier]

what did I miss?

Second base ump was too busy concentrating on the dick in his mouth to pay attention to the game on the field, and called a force out on a ball that was obviously dropped to everyone in the stadium.

[stonedstooge]

what did I miss?

Grounder to second, tossed it to shortstop covering second, dropped the ball, ump calls Gordon out (forced) at second, Ned comes out to question it, accepts umps version as usual, Ned walks back to the dugout with his head down, Royals get fucked again

[Canofbier]

Which has now officially cost us a run.

[stonedstooge]

MOOOOSSSSEEEEEE with the 3 run homer that scores 2

[Al Bundy]

Moose!!!

[SPATCH]

DAT SWING

[KCUnited]

Should've been a 3bomb.

[Shogun]

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE

[Nightfyre]

MOOOSE was robbed of an RBI by an umpire.

[Archie F. Swin]

I'm starting to like this Moustakas kid

[stonedstooge]

Joel predicted the benches would empty tonight. Hope he's right.

[Sure-Oz]

I hope the Royals hit a line drive off Perez's face

[Sure-Oz]

Joel predicted the benches would empty tonight. Hope he's right.

Really?

[Canofbier]

I hope the Royals hit a line drive off Perez's face

I was just thinking the same thing, hah.

[Shogun]

lol Smith isnt gonna hit anybody

[stonedstooge]

Really?

Pre-game during the segment where all the announcers pick a,b,c or d happening tonight

[Archie F. Swin]

lol Smith isnt gonna hit anybody

I'd love to see someone come at Broxton

[Al Bundy]

Hey Alex Gordon was out when the guy dropped the ball... not sure why Choo was safe.

[Nightfyre]

I think escobar dropped it "in transition"

[Sure-Oz]

Pre-game during the segment where all the announcers pick a,b,c or d happening tonight

I think after yesterday the Royals should feel disrespected and ready to beat the indians ass. i hope there is a brawl

[stonedstooge]

Smith/walk machine

[Al Bundy]

Looks like Will Smith is not a fan of the Kansas City Royals or winning.

[KcMizzou]

Will Smith does not belong in the majors. :facepalm:

[Shogun]

wonder what smiths K/BB ratio is right now

[Canofbier]

Hey Alex Gordon was out when the guy dropped the ball... not sure why Choo was safe.

Heh. He can't do that; it would hurt the FIRST PLACE INDIANS!

[Shogun]

Will Smith does not belong in the majors. :facepalm:

Maybe next year or after as a 5 or Long relief guy, but he is obviously not ready for this.

[Sure-Oz]

I am so sick of this pitching staff

[SPATCH]

Big Willy Style in full effect right now, yo

[Sure-Oz]

Dayton should be on the hot seat if the Royals dont get 2 starters in FA

[Al Bundy]

Yeah I'd say if the Royals care about winning Will Smith needs to come out now... however everytime Will Smith starts the Royals prove they don't care at all about winning.

[stonedstooge]

Smith had to have something to get to this level. Wish we could see what it was

[Canofbier]

Fuck me. If the Royals give up more than four runs this inning, I'm done. Not going to depress myself for the rest of the night.

[Shogun]

Smith had to have something to get to this level. Wish we could see what it was

Its because Braves scouts liked him.

WE CANT ESCAPE A FUCKING TREE IN EITHER SPORTS FRANCHISES IN THIS CITY

[Sure-Oz]

Mazzaro is already warming up...

[stonedstooge]

Its because Braves scouts liked him.

WE CANT ESCAPE A ****ING TREE IN EITHER SPORTS FRANCHISES IN THIS CITY

Ain't that the fucking truth

[Sure-Oz]

Royals need pitching but won't kick the tires on Jason Marquis

[Sure-Oz]

Instead they'd rather sign 40 year old doug davis

[Shogun]

Maier would have ended the inning already

[SPATCH]

he's gotta give up at least one more, right?

[Shogun]

fuck it bring back jeff francis, he had good outings 2/4 times

[Shogun]

SIT FUCKING DOWN

[Sure-Oz]

Woohoo only 2 runs

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Royals need pitching but won't kick the tires on Jason Marquis

Ken Rosenthal‏@Ken_Rosenthal

Source: #Padres to sign Jason Marquis. Expected to report to Triple A. Was 2-4 with 8.47 ERA before getting released by #Twins.

[Canofbier]

That could have been worse, I guess. Still, we should have the lead right now. I'm fairly certain that the Indians are going to win by one run.

[Nightfyre]

I think Smith could be an alright 4/5 guy once he settles down. He certainly recovered from that shaky start in that inning.

[SPATCH]

Royals need pitching but won't kick the tires on Jason Marquis

Exactly what I was thinking. There has to be SOMEBODY in the free agent scrap heap we can bring on...

[Shogun]

Joe Nathan has a 28/2 K/BB ratio right now

[stonedstooge]

Nice piece of hitting there Hosmer

[Sure-Oz]

Exactly what I was thinking. There has to be SOMEBODY in the free agent scrap heap we can bring on...

Padres are about to sign him...can't imagine why the royals wouldnt.

[Canofbier]

I think Smith could be an alright 4/5 guy once he settles down. He certainly recovered from that shaky start in that inning.

Fuck him. I'll support the guy when he can give our team a chance to win, which he hasn't done so far in his first "start" or this one, so far. A cumulative four innings or so is more than enough to project a baseball player's career.

[Archie F. Swin]

nice to know hos can get a single that way

[stonedstooge]

Escobar takes a strike a foot out of the strike zone

[Shogun]

**** him. I'll support the guy when he can give our team a chance to win, which he hasn't done so far in his first "start" or this one, so far. A cumulative four innings or so is more than enough to project a baseball player's career.

BUT THE BRAVES SCOUT LIKED HIM

[Nightfyre]

**** him. I'll support the guy when he can give our team a chance to win, which he hasn't done so far in his first "start" or this one, so far. A cumulative four innings or so is more than enough to project a baseball player's career.

LMAO

[Shogun]

Escobar takes a strike a foot out of the strike zone

thats how he gets most of his 2b hits

[stonedstooge]

FUCKERS HIT ESCOBAR!!!!!

[Nightfyre]

"You hit us, we hit you!"

Except not, because Yost is a pussy.

[Archie F. Swin]

Esco should stare that fucker down

[Nightfyre]

Textbook sac bunt.

[kstater]

Nice

[Shogun]

NICE SLIDE

[KcMizzou]

Shew wtg Hosmer

[Canofbier]

Quintero chokes, but Hosmer bails him out.

[Archie F. Swin]

dear god quint

[Nightfyre]

I'm still not sure what Quintero was swinging at that first pitch.

[Canofbier]

Alice!

[Shogun]

BIG FUCK YOU CHRIS PEREZ

[stonedstooge]

Going to need more than 4 tonight I have a feeling

[Nightfyre]

Masterson already pushing forty pitches.

[Nightfyre]

Was that not a balk?

[Canofbier]

Heeeere's Johnny!

[Sure-Oz]

Swing the fucking bats

[Shogun]

woooo

[stonedstooge]

Go Johnny Go Go with the RBI single. Royals up 5-2

[Sure-Oz]

Ok, lets fucking go off for 20+ runs so perez has to come in

[KcMizzou]

Giavotella looks like he's about 14.

[Nightfyre]

So can we drill Choo when he comes up?

[KcMizzou]

Hit one out, Billy.

[Shogun]

fitting we have mazzaro to come in against the indians again. maybe this time they wont hang 14 on him

[stonedstooge]

Indians are getting too far behind. Home plate ump is going to have to expand his strike zone for them

[Al Bundy]

Masterson looking very Hoch/Will Smith/Most every pitcher not named Gil Meche or Chen for the last 15 years.

[Shogun]

come on moose

[Al Bundy]

Belly read his own article the other day.

[Canofbier]

Pitched Billy pretty well, gotta give them that. Let's go, Moose!

[Shogun]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKJ

[Sure-Oz]

THats not foul is it?

[Canofbier]

Shee-it, I though that was fair for sure.

[KCUnited]

Here we go.

[kstater]

That's a HR

[petegz28]

It's foul

[Sure-Oz]

Gotta take a look atleast

[Al Bundy]

Looked foul to me

[Shogun]

replay bitches

[Nightfyre]

Barely.

[Canofbier]

Looks like it might have gotten a small piece of the pole, but it's not definitive.

[Blankey]

Why are so many umps so freaking fat

[petegz28]

Looks like it might have gotten a small piece of the pole, but it's not definitive.

I thought the same. But I don't think it's going to go

[Al Bundy]

Uhhhmm I wonder if that camera man had the camera on that 14 year old girl with the short shorts or the kid that caught the ball?

[Shogun]

Hey, I just hit the ball,

and this is crazy

but that ball looked fair

so review me maybe?

[chiefqueen]

Why are so many umps so freaking fat

They just stand there.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Why are so many umps so freaking fat

You would think with how much they've been screwing the Royals they should be getting some good cardio in, at least.

[Shogun]

YEAH BUDDY

[KcMizzou]

Wow. What a start for Moose.

[Sure-Oz]

Big FUCK YOU PEREZ!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Moustakas is fucking awesome.

[stonedstooge]

w00t MOOSE. 2 RBI single. 7-2

[SPATCH]

Moose is fucking shoving right now

[KCUnited]

5 more to go and I think we can have a chance at this one.

[GoHuge]

Nice job Moose...........we still need more to get Smith thru the 5th with a lead.

[Nightfyre]

So, moose has 4(5) RBIs!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Moustakas is an inch and a non-retarded umpire away from having 6 RBI in 2 innings.

[KcMizzou]

Mick Shaffer ‏@mickshaffer

Mike Moustakas rode a tornado to work today.

[Nightfyre]

Please plink Choo!

[Shogun]

fucking Gio

[stonedstooge]

Damn Johnny, can't fuck those up

[SPATCH]

Gio has been booting around the ball alot lately.

[GoHuge]

Damn Johnny, can't **** those upOh yes he can.......just watch more!!!

[Nightfyre]

Fuck you quintero.

[GoHuge]

Will "Stone Cold" Smith

[Reaper16]

lol Getz is the team's best defensive option at 2B.

[stonedstooge]

That hard curve or slider must be a bitch. Most of the right handed batters have struck out on it swinging

[Nightfyre]

That was a swing?

[stonedstooge]

Smith looks to be getting his shit together

[CaliforniaChief]

Do you guys think either Moose or Billy will be All-Stars? If so, what are the odds we can get one of them in the HR Derby? Whether they have a chance or not, it would be so tits to have a Royals player in the derby at the K.

[Nightfyre]

Moose has a cannon for an arm. I mean, those throws have a crazy flat trajectory.

[stonedstooge]

Do you guys think either Moose or Billy will be All-Stars? If so, what are the odds we can get one of them in the HR Derby? Whether they have a chance or not, it would be so tits to have a Royals player in the derby at the K.

KC media over the weekend was pimping Billy for the All Star Game AND the Home Run Derby

[Nightfyre]

Shit, send Falu down yesterday and deal Betancourt for a bag of potato chips.

[SPATCH]

Getz may be the best defensive option at 2b, but Gio is head and shoulders above Getz/Yuni and Falu with the bat (season stats thus far be damned)

[SPATCH]

Jason Marquis just signed by the Padres per Jayson Stark

[CaliforniaChief]

KC media over the weekend was pimping Billy for the All Star Game AND the Home Run Derby

He's by far the most deserving. Can you imagine the atmosphere at the K if Billy got into that thing?

[SPATCH]

Eric Hopsmer

[Nightfyre]

So... move Moose to RF, trade Frenchy and bring Myers up at third?

[Al Bundy]

Even with the guy sliding 2 feet out of the baseline we got the DP.

[arrowheadnation]

Hos's athleticism saved a run that inning.

[stonedstooge]

Smith looking like a major league pitcher since the first

[KcMizzou]

LMAO Hudler's such a dork.

[Nightfyre]

WHAT THE FUCK. I don't give a fuck about Hud.

[Al Bundy]

Good couple of innings for Will Smith. He got the runs and has actually pitched.

[stonedstooge]

Did anyone else hear on the radio today about the Royals being for sale? Talk was about the group that owns the soccer team trying to buy them.

[Reaper16]

Did anyone else hear on the radio today about the Royals being for sale? Talk was about the group that owns the soccer team trying to buy them.

I don't believe it for one second. No way could the Royals get bought by one of the best ownership groups in all of American sports.

[Captain Obvious]

Couldn't draw that up any better.

[stonedstooge]

Don't see that play very often

[Al Bundy]

Dyson should give the Indians the You cant see me shit that Perez did yesterday and if the next batter got hit.. take the bat out to the mound and fuck the guy up.

[Archie F. Swin]

Damn! I look away for 1hr and 10 minutes....jeez!

[SPATCH]

Gonna be trolling Perez on Twitter later, fa sho.

[stonedstooge]

Damn Will, pitching like you want to stay up here

[Canofbier]

**** him. I'll support the guy when he can give our team a chance to win, which he hasn't done so far in his first "start" or this one, so far. A cumulative four innings or so is more than enough to project a baseball player's career.

Thank goodness that Will checks CP between innings and is so desperate for my approval.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Did anyone else hear on the radio today about the Royals being for sale? Talk was about the group that owns the soccer team trying to buy them.

The rumor has been floating for a while that they could be for sale. I've never heard of a potential buyer though. That would be a nice rumor to see come true... even though I'm not as big a Glass hater as many are... I'm not exactly a fan either.

[stonedstooge]

What's the deal with Ordonez retiring? Wouldn't that ankle or foot of his ever heal up?

[KcMizzou]

Well done Smith.

[kstater]

That has been ruled an out against the Royals in the past.

[Canofbier]

Damn, Hosmer.

[Al Bundy]

Ryan giving the Umps some shit for their horrific calls this series.

[Canofbier]

That has been ruled an out against the Royals in the past.

This had a better case for actually being a catch than the one in the first inning, although they both should have been called safe.

[Canofbier]

Choo is a whiny little bitch.

Edit: ...who can sit the f down.

[stonedstooge]

I could do without that fucking drum pounding again

[Canofbier]

Herrera is a better athlete than I had realized.

[stonedstooge]

w00t

[SPATCH]

Come along Tim-Tim

[Dartgod]

If I ever go to a game in Cleveland, I'm gonna find that guy with the drum and beat him senseless.

[CaliforniaChief]

I'll say this:

This team is seriously flawed, but at least they don't give up. Royals teams of the past would hit a 12 game skid and that would be it. They would lose the first game of the series and then just sleep through the rest of it.

This team comes back almost every time. And even after a game like yesterday which was very winnable and blown, they come back and pound the crap out of the Indians and give themselves a chance to win yet another road series.

It's a long season, and at least they haven't bowed out of it yet.

[SPATCH]

... and Tim-Tim comes out and shoves, again.

[stonedstooge]

Royals take the game tomorrow and get some wins at home against the A's and Twinkies, could be a run towards the top

[CaliforniaChief]

Royals take the game tomorrow and get some wins at home against the A's and Twinkies, could be a run towards the top

:banghead:

[KCUnited]

Despite the clown show we put on in the field, it's nice to see these guys respond after yesterday.

[CaliforniaChief]

Hey Chrissy Perez, how did that one taste?

[GloryDayz]

Very nice... VERY NICE!!! Very balanced effort....

[GloryDayz]

Despite the clown show we put on in the field, it's nice to see these guys respond after yesterday.

What did I miss?

[Al Bundy]

Good.. and very unexpected win.

[Shogun]

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called KC

In west Georgia born and raised
On the baseball diamond was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all pitchin some baseball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little bench clearing brawl and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle dayton in KC'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking antifreeze out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of KC Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear there're prissy, wine all that
Is KC the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of KC

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a redneck standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get benched
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said ISHTMYPANTS and it had balls in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Kauffman'

I pulled up to the stadium about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Kauffman Stadium

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

winner, winner chicken dinner!

[DeezNutz]

So... move Moose to RF, trade Frenchy and bring Myers up at third?

Sounds like a Royals thing to do.

[DeezNutz]

Did anyone else hear on the radio today about the Royals being for sale? Talk was about the group that owns the soccer team trying to buy them.

I heard KK and others on 810 talking about how that would be a fucking dream situation. Nothing beyond bullshit banter and wishful thinking, though.

[PunkinDrublic]

Hey Chrissy Perez, how did that one taste?

Seriously who the **** is Chris Perez anyway? The only reason I've ever heard of him is because he runs his mouth after he's beaten the Royals a couple of time.

[CaliforniaChief]

Seriously who the **** is Chris Perez anyway? The only reason I've ever heard of him is because he runs his mouth after he's beaten the Royals a couple of time.

It's real easy to run your mouth when you're an American League closer and never have to stand in the batter's box.

[Great Expectations]

It's real easy to run your mouth when you're an American League closer and never have to stand in the batter's box.

How often does a national "junior" league closer stand in the batters box?
