**** OFFICIAL JUNE 6TH, 2012 MIN @ KC GAME THREAD ****

[AndChiefs]

May as well try for two in a row.

Paulino (3-1, 1.70) vs. Blackburn (1-4, 8.37)

Paulino knocked out in the first by a liner to the leg. Reported as a strained groin. Mendoza takes over with 2 outs in the first.

[dmahurin]

Rocking the moose jersey for the win.

Rocking the moose jersey for the win.

T-shirt jersey or actual jersey? I got the Moose t-shirt version on.

It should be a good game to get two in a row. Pitching matchup is certainly in our favor...that feels weird to say.

Blackburn just came back from the DL with a "I Suck at Pitching" injury. We'll see how he does.

[DeezNutz]

Very favorable pitching matchup tonight. We *should* win this damn game.

Actual jersey.

[Blankey]

Indians up 3-0 on the Tigers

Wow, today's my naked day!!! None-Jersey!!! :thumb:

[Blankey]

What freaking cheater

[AndChiefs]

Well that's an odd start.

[GloryDayz]

Good call!

[Toadkiller]

Hah that could have been a shitty way to start the game but it turned out ok. Hopefully Paulino is ok.

[GloryDayz]

Asshole!

[Blankey]

FUCK YOU BETANCOURT!!!

[Canofbier]

Yuniesky Betancourt, ladies and gentlemen.

[AndChiefs]

Can we cut him yet?

[Mr. Laz]

Paulino staying in for now but next inning will tell whether that leg is going to tighten up etc.

hope it's ok

[Canofbier]

I think we all want Escobar back. Yost?

[AndChiefs]

Another one Escobar would've got.

[cabletech94]

goddamnit. all betancourt does is make errors!!!!!!:mad:

[Blankey]

Well crap

[GloryDayz]

****!

[Shogun]

at least we HAD the pitching advantage

[AndChiefs]

:(

[Mr. Laz]

dam

[KCUnited]

That's the kind of range you get from a 260 lb shortstop.

[Toadkiller]

Well shit that sucks. Was looking forward to watching him dominate tonight.

[Canofbier]

Well, let's hope that Mendoza can give us 4-5 solid innings before he's toast.

[yhf]

What happened to paulino? I just tuned in.

[AndChiefs]

What happened to paulino? I just tuned in.

Hit by a liner. Should just be a bruise.

[Mr. Laz]

What happened to paulino? I just tuned in.

ball came back up the middle and caught him on the thigh

[Infidel Goat]

ball came back up the middle and caught him on the thigh

And then Yuni kicked him in the thigh for good measure!!!111!!

We hate Yuni...

[CaliforniaChief]

That's the kind of range you get from a 260 lb shortstop.

ROFL

[Canofbier]

Jesus...

[lewdog]

MenBLOWza

[yhf]

Thanks for the update. Fucking Yuni at short!? That makes my ass wanna suck pond water.

[petegz28]

Yuni wastes no time costing us a run

[AndChiefs]

Why was Gordon ever not hitting 1st?

[GloryDayz]

ball came back up the middle and caught him on the thigh

I still want to do your avatar!

[Shogun]

great AB

[petegz28]

at least he made up for the error

[GloryDayz]

The 260lbs comes in handy there I guess!

[Canofbier]

...I still hate you, Yuni.

[SPATCH]

wtf? srsly? lol

[AndChiefs]

Hit another one and I'll think about forgiving you Yuni.

[cabletech94]

all betancourt does is make errors and hit homeruns.

and eat donuts.

[GloryDayz]

And he's not fat! LOL!

[Blankey]

Now that was a long ass first inning

[Great Expectations]

Nice "that what speed do" reference on the broadcast.

[Shogun]

@thecarm

Felipe Paulino diagnosed with right groin strain. Those take awhile to heal. See Lorenzo Cain. Too bad. Not good. #royals

[Canofbier]

:shake:

[SnakeXJones]

God we always have bad luck who is the one that hit the liner to Paulino thigh he should be on the hitlist

[mr. tegu]

Thanks for the update. Fucking Yuni at short!? That makes my ass wanna suck pond water.

Escobar needed a day off unfortunately. He had made a couple errors the past two games so these two days in a row off should freshen him up.

[mr. tegu]

Strain from a liner? Seems strange I think.

[SnakeXJones]

Strain from a liner? Seems strange I think.Just read that it wasn't from the liner

[mr. tegu]

I wish when a pitcher is struggling we could just knock them around early and get the runs before the guy settles down.

[mr. tegu]

Nice D by Moose!!!

[Canofbier]

Moose making it look easy on defense!

[mr. tegu]

More Moose defense! Woot!

[Blankey]

How did Moose get knocked for his defense in the minors again?

[Canofbier]

How did Moose get knocked for his defense in the minors again?

Don't recall his defense being standout last year. I think he's improved.

[SnakeXJones]

Don't recall his defense being standout last year. I think he's improved.Thinking cause of the weight he loss made him quicker

[KCUnited]

Got the range of a catcher.

[mr. tegu]

We need to get that bullpen stirred up.

[mr. tegu]

Bull crap. Ball didn't hit him! This is what we get for not jumping all over Blackburn when we had the chance.

[Ceej]

Way to make them earn those runs.

[Sure-Oz]

Willingham didnt get hit

[mr. tegu]

Two outs nobody on and it turns into two runs. Gross.

[SPATCH]

yuni bout to go yard again, yo

[Infidel Goat]

yuni bout to go yard again, yo

heh

[mr. tegu]

Detroit just lost. We better pull this out. Be in third place if we do.

[mr. tegu]

Hosmer about to go yard.

[mr. tegu]

Minnesota has the highest ERA in the league. We got one yesterday and only two so far today. Pick it up guys!

[mr. tegu]

Lol Manship name spelled Mansihp on his jersey. Meanwhile leadoff triple for the freaking twinkies.

[Blankey]

This is a bad night for sports

[chiefsfan987]

Minnesota has the highest ERA in the league. We got one yesterday and only two so far today. Pick it up guys!

What did you expect? The Royals offense sucks. They have statistically one of the worst offenses in the game.

[Ceej]

Sweet reaction and dive to keep that runner at third, Yuniesky.

[Nzoner]

I got so pissed I just turned the game off,said i wasn't going to get emotionally involved in these guys again and here I am :banghead:

[Shogun]

i switched to NBA. Boring, boring game. Fell asleep. Not much hustle tonight

[SPATCH]

The Oklahoma City crowd is in an absolute frenzy right now. Crazy game.

[Al Bundy]

The Royals good pitchers get hurt.... Luke Hochevar goes injury free for his career. But I guess when you don't give an ounce of effort you aren't going to get hurt. This Royals offense is absolutely putrid, no power at all.

[AndChiefs]

Sorry guys. Looks like I only had enough mojo for one game thread.

[ChiTown]

F u c k this team. They should have taken 5 of 6 from the garbage they just faced. Sick of this shitty franchise.

[keg in kc]

They just can't break that 6 game under window.

[DeezNutz]

F u c k this team. They should have taken 5 of 6 from the garbage they just faced. Sick of this shitty franchise.

Yep, golden opportunity at home against garbage teams, and the Royals out-suck them. Typical.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Sorry guys. Looks like I only had enough mojo for one game thread.

It's all your fault.

[gblowfish]

Frenchy was putrid last night. Stranded guys, just sucked it. He should get ZERO all star consideration.

Once the All Star Game is over, the Chiefs will be starting up, and the Royals will fade into "it doesn't matter land" as usual.

At least the season will be relevant until July, instead of over by Mother's Day, as in past recent years.

I see your point but if Paulino is out an extended time and no other pitchers step up the Royals season could well be over by the All-Star break.
