Royals at Twinkies July 1

[Old Dog]

Royals 8 13 1
Twins 10 9 2

Now seven games below .500

[Old Dog]

It's 10 minutes until game time and I didn't see a thread. I thought I would try my luck.

[cabletech94]

the twins (and ron gardenhummer) are my new "i hate this team" team.

[gblowfish]

C"MON CHEN!!!

He didn't do too well against the Twinks last time. Let's hope he's better today. SOMEBODY GET A HIT, DAMNIT!!!

[stonedstooge]

Yost crys as he gives Billy his All Star jersey. Pussy

[Old Dog]

No Moose in this lineup either :(

[gblowfish]

Well, the game will give Billy a chance to showcase his talent, so maybe a real team will trade for him, and give him a chance to play meaningful games in his career. You know, like Damon, and Beltran, and Ibanez, and Sweeney, and Randa, and Dye, and Cabrera, and Bautista, and Cone, and Howell....

Congrats to Billy. He's a good guy. Hope he does well in the one AB he'll get.

[stonedstooge]

No Moose in this lineup either :(

Moose looked like he could use a day off. He hasn't been swinging well the last few games

[DeezNutz]

"His OBP is almost 43."

Fuzzy, you stupid fuck, that's not how OBP is defined or alluded to.

Cano said a Royal would be in the HR derby if they made it.

[stonedstooge]

Never trust a Yankee

[Sure-Oz]

I can't stand Phys' voice since he said Sanchez had a good outing last week or so

[Old Dog]

Sanchez had a good outing last week or so

He must have gotten lucky at the club or something then, because he certainly isn't talking about his PITCHING outing

[stonedstooge]

Royals bats look cold again today

[Old Dog]

Nice play by Hosmer to bail out Yuni

[Old Dog]

And Plouffe goes big fly....damnit

[Al Bundy]

Well that'll do it. Royals didn't bother bringing their bats to the park today. Lose 3 out of 4 to a lowly Twins team.

[Old Dog]

might be just a touch early to concede LOL

[stonedstooge]

Hud and his fucking gum stories

[Old Dog]

FailU just gonna stand and look.

[gblowfish]

Alice only has 24 ribbies? That's pretty poor production.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Ned reads the Planet. (Escobar 2nd)

[DeezNutz]

Alice only has 24 ribbies? That's pretty poor production.

RBIs = not indicative of production or performance.

[gblowfish]

I know he's been mostly a leadoff guy. But damn, you'd think he's have more RBIs than that.

[ChiTown]

Well, I had hoped to take 3 of 4 from this shitty Twins team. But, then again, we are the Royals - what am I thinking? Now, I am hoping we can avoid losing 3 of 4 with a split.

I can't stand this Organization. They are a frustrating group, that just never do enough to make a move.

[Old Dog]

Let's don't point out that maybe their resurgence in pitching is due to the fact that the Royals are 13th out of 14 teams in runs scored.

[Al Bundy]

No hit stuff from Liriano today.

[DeezNutz]

I know he's been mostly a leadoff guy. But damn, you'd think he's have more RBIs than that.

Who is he going to knock in? Quin? Dyson? Given how well Gordon has been swinging it the past month, his lack of RBIs is a testament to the shit at the end of our order.

[stonedstooge]

Let's don't point out that maybe their resurgence in pitching is due to the fact that the Royals are 13th out of 14 teams in runs scored.

Hud and Psycho love to talk up the other teams

[stonedstooge]

Escobar is shit at 9?

[Old Dog]

Hud and Psycho love to talk up the other teams

I know it, it just irritates me to no end.
They keep trying to piss on our legs and telling us it's raining.
Maybe they think they're doing radio and we can't see this shit for ourselves.

[DeezNutz]

Escobar is shit at 9?

Good grief, man.

[gblowfish]

Prediction: Billy sets the all time AL record in Home Run Derby for balls hit to the warning track...

[Sure-Oz]

Gordon needs to hit some more hr's, 5 is pathetic...

He has way more power than that

[stonedstooge]

Good grief, man.

You claimed Gordon had nothing behind him in the lower part of the order. Am I missing something?

[Sure-Oz]

You claimed Gordon had nothing behind him in the lower part of the order. Am I missing something?

Particularly it's been Quintero and Dyson mainly at the lower half. Frenchy is shit at 5 or anywhere in the lineup

[Old Dog]

I guess A run is better than none, but it seems like we almost never find a hit with the bases loaded.

[gblowfish]

Shouldn't Sanchez be apartment shopping in Omaha today???

[Al Bundy]

Another COMPLETE FAIL of a trade showing itself.

[Old Dog]

Great job Bourgeouis. No need to make him throw anything in the same zip code as the strike zone.

[stonedstooge]

Shouldn't Sanchez be apartment shopping in Omaha today???

He probably gets at least one more start don't you think?

[gblowfish]

Now for your Sunday Sociology Minute:

In sociology and in political science, the noun bourgeoisie (Fr.: [buʁ.ʒwa'zi] | Eng.: /bʊərʒwɑːˈziː/) and the adjective bourgeois are terms that describe a historical range of socio-economic classes. As such, in the Western world, since the late 18th century, the bourgeoisie describes a social class "characterized by their ownership of capital, and their related culture"; hence, the personal terms bourgeois (masculine) and bourgeoise (feminine) culturally identify the man or woman who is a member of the wealthiest social class in capitalist societies.

In contemporary academic theories, the term bourgeoisie usually refers to the ruling class in capitalist societies. In Marxist theory, the abiding characteristics of this class are their ownership of the means of production.

In Royals terms, you get a AAAA outfield guy who can't buy a hit with guys in scoring position.

That is all.

Thank you.

[gblowfish]

Alice Alice Alice....

[Old Dog]

oops, hope that doesn't come back to bite us in the arse

[gblowfish]

Hos...Hos....Hos.... WTF?

[gblowfish]

Mercy strikeout. Thanks Blue.

[gblowfish]

Chen is pitching well today. Now we need some sustained hitting.

[DeezNutz]

That a baby, Chen.

[gblowfish]

Whoo Hoo...Falu!!!

[gblowfish]

Jesus Alice. Weak Sauce.

[Old Dog]

oops, screwed up and updated the OP.....thought it was out #3

[Old Dog]

Let me cry you a fucking river about your 7 million being gone

[Old Dog]

At least we shouldn't have to see many more innings of Liriano with his pitch count

[Old Dog]

Nicely placed bunt there. Not much more Pena could have done.

[stonedstooge]

Chen with a 2 hitter so far

[Old Dog]

Chen with a 2 hitter so far

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!
('tis not to be talked about)

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Royals score 2 on poor Twinks fielding

[Old Dog]

lookee here, coupla lucky bounces off of gloves

[petegz28]

Finally a few breaks our way

[stonedstooge]

Falu drives in two. Royals 5 Twinkies 1

[Tytanium]

Finally, fellas. Starting to like Falu as a rotational backup guy.

[Sure-Oz]

I hate physiocs voice...he sounds like an 80's car salesman

[Old Dog]

That took a second to update the OP.... I need Georges' app

[stonedstooge]

Ned goes against the percentages and loses

[petegz28]

WTF do you leave Chen in there? I mean Chen shares some blame but that's on Yost.

[BigMeatballDave]

Fuck you, Ned

[Old Dog]

That wasn't a bad pitch, Willingham just got to it. That's 95% on Yost.

[petegz28]

JFC, we take a 4 run lead then give up 5 because Yost is a dumbass!!!

[stonedstooge]

And now the Royals go down by 1 with another home run. Twinks 6 Royals 5

[Old Dog]

and there's another. God Damnit, someone get my sniper rifle, I'm taking Yost out

[gblowfish]

I'm done. Maybe they'll win if I ignore them the rest of the day.

[DeezNutz]

No need for a manager, apparently.

[petegz28]

5 runs later Yost decided to pull Chen

[siberian khatru]

Could somebody ring Ned's cell phone and wake him up. There's a game going on.

[BigMeatballDave]

No need for a manager.

Nope. Not at all.

Ned must have some money on the Twins...

[petegz28]

We have to lead the league in least amount of time to give up a lead

[Demonpenz]

When you hit a ball that is a foot outside 400 feet it might be a sign the pitcher has lost the bite on his pitches.

[BigMeatballDave]

Any chance Moore grows a pair and hires a real manager?

[Reaper16]

It's so fucking easy to be an AL manager. How do the dumbest motherfuckers always get the jobs?

[Sure-Oz]

FUCK

[Old Dog]

It's so fucking easy to be an AL manager. How do the dumbest motherfuckers always get the jobs?

You're a manager? I didn't know that.





sorry, I couldn't resist

[Sure-Oz]

You leave in Justin Verlander, no one on the Royals has earned that shit

[arrowheadnation]

sorry, I couldn't resist

You have found me out. I am Manny Acta.

[Demonpenz]

we love to run out of innings

[Sure-Oz]

I love that Phys was excited when Frenchy was out...WTF man

[stonedstooge]

Hosmer going to fuck himself up with that diving headfirst into first

[petegz28]

You almost have to wonder if Yost gets told to fuck things up whenever we get close to .500. We wouldn't want Glass to actually have to spend money on a run at the division.

[Old Dog]

I HATE the head first slide into first. Does he not realize it's faster to run through the damned base?

[Sure-Oz]

We got some stupid ball players

[Old Dog]

That speech explains it.....maybe Ned was busy voting rather than watching the fricking game and that's why Chen was left in there to face a guy that had already taken him deep (yeah, I realize Plouffe was the solo shot, not the 3 run shot)

[Demonpenz]

I HATE the head first slide into first. Does he not realize it's faster to run through the damned base?

Heh one of the twins would have been safe if he slid headfirst earlier in the game.

[Old Dog]

BS, studies have been done on that and it's been proven that running through the base is faster than sliding headfirst.

[stonedstooge]

Ned with the quick hook on Herrera. Too little too late Ned

[Al Bundy]

Put this loss on Chen.. dude is a major league pitcher and needs to hold a shitty fucking offense like the Twins down. You are a pro Chen, act like you have some fucking balls.

[Al Bundy]

JFC, we take a 4 run lead then give up 5 because Chen is not a major league pitcher!!!

I fixed your post.. this loss is all on Chen.. he needs to man up and pitch like a pro. Fuck him.

[Old Dog]

I fixed your post.. this loss is all on Chen.. he needs to man up and pitch like a pro. Fuck him.

You obviously aren't watching, the pitch Willingham hit out was low and a good four inches off of the plate. There was nothing wrong with that pitch other than that Chen shouldn't have been in the gane to make it.
You are almost as full of fail as Yost.

[BigMeatballDave]

Put this loss on Chen.. dude is a major league pitcher and needs to hold a shitty fucking offense like the Twins down. You are a pro Chen, act like you have some fucking balls.

BS! Its on Ned for not recognizing Chen was done.

Fuck Ned Yost.

[petegz28]

well that's probably going to be enough to cost us our 3rd in a row...MOTHER FUCKER!

[Rasputin]

Well that sucked

[stonedstooge]

Royals imploding

[Deberg_1990]

Yost makes me long for the glory years of Buddy Bell.

If the Royals finish in last, is he done?
Posted via Mobile Device

[DeezNutz]

Yes, Chen should have been pulled. But the shittiness of the rotation is almost certainly affecting the manager's willingness to go to the pen.

Next four games: Teaford, Mazarro, Mendoza, Sanchez...

Good fucking luck, bullpen.

The truth is, DM deserves a lot of this blame, and it's piece of shit rotations like above that have caused KC to be the place where managers go to die for well over a decade.

[Al Bundy]

Chen wasn't tired... he just needs to man up and accept responsibility. Good starting pitchers don't give up 6 runs to this offense.. Chen is different than Sanchez he will admit he failed mightily today.

[ChiTown]

Yost makes me long for the glory years of Buddy Bell.

Posted via Mobile Device

We can only hope he goes and takes Corky Moore with him.

[Old Dog]

Ya'll can keep blaming the starting rotation for everything, but averaging under 4 runs per game in the AL is simply not going to cut it.

[Al Bundy]

BS! Its on Ned for not recognizing Chen was done.

**** Ned Yost.

Ned has made some bad decisions.. but this is on Chen. Fuck Chen for allowing this team to lose when his team gave his punk bitch ass a 4 run lead.

[ChiTown]

The Twins must be sporting Paul Bunyan-sized boners when the Royals come to town.

[DeezNutz]

Ya'll can keep blaming the starting rotation for everything, but averaging under 4 runs per game in the AL is simply not going to cut it.

Getting Dyson and Q the fuck out of there would/will help. But what do you think happens to the offense when a Sanchez gets fucking bombed early in the game? And it's not like pressing hitters don't have a residual effect for several games to come.

There's offensive talent on this club. The starting staff, however, is a fucking joke, and their number of innings pitched speaks to this.

[stonedstooge]

Got the ducks on the pond Billy. Show 'em why you're an AllStar

[Al Bundy]

Got the ducks on the pond Billy. Show 'em why you're an AllStar

and..... he failed.

[Messier]

That's not why he's an all-star.

[BigMeatballDave]

Ned has made some bad decisions.. but this is on Chen. Fuck Chen for allowing this team to lose when his team gave his punk bitch ass a 4 run lead.

Chen isn't great by any stretch, but its on Ned.

Chen can't remove himself.

[Al Bundy]

I really wish our hitters were good major league hitters with power ability.

[Al Bundy]

Chen isn't great by any stretch, but its on Ned.

Chen can't remove himself.

You're right, Chen needs to man up and be an adult. He didn't, he failed massively at his job and will take the loss because he isn't good enough to do his job.

[BigMeatballDave]

You're right, Chen needs to man up and be an adult. He didn't, he failed massively at his job and will take the loss because he isn't good enough to do his job.

:rolleyes:

Whatever. Continue to be a dipshit...

[Al Bundy]

:rolleyes:

Whatever. Continue to be a dipshit...

So.. you think that a major league starter shouldn't be able to get through 6 easily while facing a very soft hitting lineup?

[petegz28]

What a joke this team is...they get this close to .500 then give up a ton of jacks to the team with the fewest jacks in the league

[Old Dog]

You're right, Chen needs to man up and be an adult. He didn't, he failed massively at his job and will take the loss because he isn't good enough to do his job.

LOL. Tell him he's right and then go on to disagree with everything he said.

+1 for trolling well.

[ChiTown]

F this pile of dogshit organization. I'm fucking done

[stonedstooge]

Hud credits the Minnesota offense

[lewdog]

Well that was awesome for the other team. Fuck us.

[Al Bundy]

I'd say Crow is done as well... our pitching staff just gave up the most homeruns to the Twins at their home ball park.. fuck this pitching staff, fuck them all. Bunch of no talent soft chickenshit pussies.

[Rasputin]

There still chitty.

[Bowser]

The Twins have always had the Royals' number. Minny could go 10-152 some season, and still sweep the season series from us.

[arrowheadnation]

I must reiterate.
<img src=http://ts2.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=5061529377965425&id=cccabfb4549ecea7f7eb291f30d73fef>

[Messier]

The Twins have always had the Royals' number. Minny could go 10-152 some season, and still sweep the season from us.

Well, for most of the time the Twins had our number because they were good and the Royals were crappy.

[DeezNutz]

Embarrassing. This team can eat shit and die.

[Al Bundy]

Fuck the Twins.. they fucking suck. This Royals team quit yesterday, fuck you Chen for being part of it. Not a single fucking player from this god damn piece of shit team deserves to be anywhere near the all start game. The Twins OWNED the Royals today. Once again I say motherfuck you pitching staff for not having the heart to win.

[DeezNutz]

Hud essentially hanging the loss on Ned.

[stonedstooge]

Hud walking a thin line with the negative talk

[Al Bundy]

Hud essentially hanging the loss on Ned.

Too bad Chen is being let off the hook.

[arrowheadnation]

Hosmer with a 3 hit day....I think I'll wet my pants.

[OmahaChief]

Hud essentially hanging the loss on Ned.

Had Ned got off his ass an yanked Chen when it was 5-2 and two on like he should have this game might have been different. Eff Ned and this pitching staff of retards.

[lewdog]

Hud walking a thin line with the negative talk

I have it on mute but is Hud finally being realistic??!!

[Old Dog]

Hosmer with a 3 hit day....I think I'll wet my pants.

You might as well, Ned done crapped his

[DeezNutz]

Too bad Chen is being let off the hook.

Ultimately, he has to answer for the gopher balls. But let's stop the bullshit here. It has nothing to do with heart or effort from Chen. He's a #5 who had hit a wall, and Yost has to go get him.

Period.

[DeezNutz]

8 runs and barely sniffing making it interesting.

[stonedstooge]

I have it on mute but is Hud finally being realistic??!!

It's ironic because of the excuse the Royals gave to Frank about his announcing. Hud has gone off several times this year with negativity

[Al Bundy]

Thw Twins take 3 out of 4 because our pitchers don't have the heart or guts to get the Twins out. Fuck Chen and Crow today for not having it.

[DeezNutz]

No balls on the part of the KC media if they don't push Ned to the brink of a blow up in the post-game.

[BigMeatballDave]

Win 4, lose 3.

Fuck you, Ned Yost.

[Bowser]

No balls on the part of the KC media if they don't push Ned to the brink of a blow up in the post-game.

No balls and the KC Sports Media are synonymous. Probably why they're KC Sports Media.

[BigMeatballDave]

Thw Twins take 3 out of 4 because our pitchers don't have the heart or guts to get the Twins out. Fuck Chen and Crow today for not having it.

News Flash. Our pitching sucks.

Fuck Ned Yost with a rust pitchfork.

[mr. tegu]

This sucks. This series has completely sucked the life out of me as well as any hope of a good season.

[Old Dog]

News Flash. Our pitching sucks.

Bigger news flash. So does our hitting. The big difference is that many fail to realize that.

We really shouldn't keep feeding the troll (Al Bundy) though.

[Al Bundy]

No balls on the part of the KC media if they don't push Ned to the brink of a blow up in the post-game.

Chen needs to have his manhood questioned after today's game as well.

[BigMeatballDave]

You're going to confuse him with these facts.

[milkman]

I have to say that you really are one stupid motherfucker.

:facepalm:

Q = gone. Thank goodness.
Dyson = auto out.
Frenchy = having one of the worst years of his career.

We've fixed one of these problems, and DM has the ability to fix the other two. Will he be smart enough to do it?

[Al Bundy]

I'm not absolving Ned of ANY blame... but Chen is being completely let off the hook for his lack of talent or heart today.

[BigMeatballDave]

Bigger news flash. So does our hitting. The big difference is that many fail to realize that.

Seems the pitching fails more when the hitting comes thru.

[DeezNutz]

We need more "fire in the belly!111"

[Al Bundy]

Sanchez, Hoch, Chen and Crow made sure that this weekend was going to be a bust.

[arrowheadnation]

Maybe Hud is making a play for Yost's job a la the guy on Angels in the Outfield.

[BigMeatballDave]

I'm not absolving Ned of ANY blame... but Chen is being completely let off the hook for his lack of talent or heart today.

You're an idiot. He was cruising until he crapped out in the 6th.

[DeezNutz]

You're an idiot. He was cruising until he crapped out in the 6th.

I have a video feed of him turning to Perez and mouthing the words, "I quit."

[Al Bundy]

You're an idiot. He was cruising until he crapped out in the 6th.
Then it is his talent that was the issue. No problem, I hope someone manages to ask him. "Hey Bruce, what happened in that sixth inning? Did your lack of talent finally catch up to you?"

[DeezNutz]

"Bruce was really rolling." /Yost

[DeezNutz]

"Just one of those days."

According to Ned, no thought of pulling Chen after the first HR in the 6th, even though the pen "was stocked."

Wow.

[Al Bundy]

Twins hit home runs... the Royals didn't hit them.

[BigMeatballDave]

I have a video feed of him turning to Perez and mouthing the words, "I quit."

LMAO

[mr. tegu]

Coming into this series the Royals had given up the fewest HR and the damn twinkies had hit the fewest. Go figure. WTF?!!!!

[BigMeatballDave]

"Just one of those days."

According to Ned, no thought of pulling Chen after the first HR in the 6th, even though the pen "was stocked."

Wow.

Fuck that bitch.

[Old Dog]

Seems the pitching fails more when the hitting comes thru.

Since the first of June we're only averaging 4.07 runs scored per game. We've scored 2 or less 12 times. We've allowed more than four runs 11 times.

I'm not in any way, shape, fashion, or form saying it's all on the hitting, but it's certainly at least as much on the hitting, if not moreso than the pitching.

In the month June we had a team ERA under 4. Good enough for 6th in the AL. Any kind of consistent offense and we are sitting at .500. Are pitching had a good month and we didn't take enough advantage of it and now the pitching is regressing to their normal selves.

[gblowfish]

Sweep a team like Tampa, then go and lose 3 of 4 to the worst team in the American League. Typical Royals Baseball.

Actually, this season has been less painful than some of the previous two or three or four or five. We've been single digits out headed up to the All Star break, and that hasn't happened in a long time. Now, part of that is because our division sucks out loud, but hey....

Never get too high on the Royals. They'll rip your heart out of your chest and laugh at you while they show it to you beating in their bloody hand.

[BWillie]

LOL Gonna get swept by the Twins....but this team has a chance at competing in the Central! Hochevar is fixed! Bla bla

[BigMeatballDave]
