Kansas City Royals @ Los Angeles Angels--July 23

[stonedstooge]

Lineup shuffle again tonight

[kstater]

Fuck 9 o'clock games. Peace, I'm out.

[stonedstooge]

**** 9 o'clock games. Peace, I'm out.

Peace brother

[KCUnited]

I'm watching a replay of the '09 NFL draft instead.

[stonedstooge]

I'm watching a replay of the '09 NFL draft instead.

The other night Smoky and the Bandit II with Jackie Gleason's swearing cut out > watching the Royals play

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

On paper this is a game/series we have very little business winnning. So a 10-2 victory tonight on the way to a sweep?

[tk13]

Jonathan Sanchez made it through the first inning against Arizona tonight without giving up a run.

[stonedstooge]

Jonathan Sanchez made it through the first inning against Arizona tonight without giving up a run.

Watch the bastard throw a shutout tonight

[ChiTown]

Jonathan Sanchez made it through the first inning against Arizona tonight without giving up a run.

I hope his arm falls off in mid pitch. Fuck that worthless a-hole

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Jonathan Sanchez made it through the first inning against Arizona tonight without giving up a run.

Well of course he did.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Well of course he did.

he just gave up a bomb

[stonedstooge]

he just gave up a bomb

w00t

[tk13]

And he leads off the 2nd with a HR. That's more like it.

[stonedstooge]

If he gives up more than 5, the trade with Colorado must be considered a success/Dayton Moore

[Al Bundy]

Re-watching my wedding to my ex-wife>Watching the Royals

[stonedstooge]

Re-watching my wedding to my ex-wife>Watching the Royals

LMAO

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

he just gave up a bomb

Well of course he did.

[stonedstooge]

Let's score early and often tonight

[ChiTown]

Gordon is still on fire. Nice bunt by Esky.

[Canofbier]

I still think that it's fucking absurd how high Alex has raised his average in such a short time, given how longer he sucked to being the year.

[Nightfyre]

Yea, alex is destroying it right now.

[stonedstooge]

Strike zone looked pretty wide in the first. Should bode well for Chen

[Nightfyre]

Fuck you FATASS YUNI.

[Canofbier]

Sweet, glad to see the Royals playing well.

[Nightfyre]

Seriously, Yuni should want to get traded. He just doesn't give a shit about anything except his own comfort. Fat piece of shit.

Edit: In fact, if I'm Yost, I bench his fatass for giving up on that.

[Three7s]

Seriously, Yuni should want to get traded. He just doesn't give a shit about anything except his own comfort. Fat piece of shit.
Yuni is the worst player in the league. Of course, if Yost or Moore heard that, they'd probably die laughing and say Yuni is a vital part of the future or some shit.

[Nightfyre]

Yuni's fatness cost us a RISP.

[stonedstooge]

Yet another Yuni/Frenchy fail

[SPchief]

Free out, get your free out!

[Nightfyre]

I seriously cannot wait until this lineup is free of Yuni and Frenchy.

[ChiTown]

Frenchy looked safe. I need a replay.

[Three7s]

Francouer is a piece of shit, but he looked safe there. Throw was high and he got under the tag. We'll get robbed on calls for the rest of the year after yesterday.

[stonedstooge]

Francouer is a piece of shit, but he looked safe there. Throw was high and he got under the tag. We'll get robbed on calls for the rest of the year after yesterday.

The odds are only about 1 in 10 that Ned will argue a call so why not?

[ChiTown]

He was in under the tag.

[mr. tegu]

Sanchez with 55 pitches through 3 innings. Now two on no outs for AZ.

[stonedstooge]

Sanchez with 55 pitches through 3 innings. Now two on no outs for AZ.

How many runs has he given up?

[ChiTown]

I don't have the strong vitriolIc reaction that many of you have against Frenchy. I'm just ready for Myers to replace his ass.

[Nightfyre]

Frenchy:
ALL YEAR: .247/.286/.375
Since the break: .216/.256/.351

Absolutely worthless.

[Nightfyre]

Hosmer just jacked that base.

[SPchief]

Rodriguez holds Hosmer for no reason.

[SPchief]

THAT would have been the play of the year if he had gotten it.

[Nightfyre]

Alex puts him in. He's batting .350 since taking over leadoff, btw.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

J. Sanchez
3.2 IP, 5 ER, 4 K

[Deberg_1990]

So Sanchez for Guthrie is what we all thought it was. Turd for Turd

[Nightfyre]

Great AB for Esky.

[SPchief]

Good AB by Escobar.

[Nightfyre]

Cain got robbed :deevee:

[stonedstooge]

Cain with a wall hugger. Royals 2-0

[SPchief]

Damn, 2 feet short of a HR. Still got a run home.

[Al Bundy]

Cain hits with far more pop than Hosmer does.

[Nightfyre]

You gotta like how the lineup is actually finally starting to get productive.

[duncan_idaho]

i've got to be honest, I've been surprised at how well Cain is hitting since returning to the majors.

Considering he spent so much time on the shelf with a hip flexor injury, it's crazy he's hitting this well.

[Three7s]

Hudler made a good point with Cain. He reminded me of Tori Hunter after his first homer.

[stonedstooge]

Poo holes looked like he pulled his foot too quick, Hosmer style

[Nightfyre]

Maybe thats what he needed. Hell, maybe Hosmer needs a rehab assignment. The exact same thing is plaguing him is what was plaguing cain prior to his injury. Long swing and pressing.

[chiefsarkie]

Did Hudler say "moose balls" ?

[ChiTown]

J. Sanchez
3.2 IP, 5 ER, 4 K

We win!LMAO

[tk13]

Sanchez actually raised his ERA above 8 on the season tonight. That is tough.

[Chief Roundup]

Isn't there a "Royalsplanet"?

[ChiTown]

Isn't there a "Royalsplanet"?

We like it better here:D

[stonedstooge]

Damn Alex played that one perfectly

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

i've got to be honest, I've been surprised at how well Cain is hitting since returning to the majors.

Considering he spent so much time on the shelf with a hip flexor injury, it's crazy he's hitting this well.

I was thinking that the other day too. It's a nice surprise.

I don't get to see nearly as much as you guys but when I have seen him it seems like his swing isn't so big and almost out of control now either. Would you say that's acurate or no?

[stonedstooge]

I don't get to see nearly as much as you guys but when I have seen him it seems like his swing isn't so big and almost out of control now either. Would you say that's acurate or no?

He doesn't get cheated, that's for sure.

[stonedstooge]

Angels tie it up in the 3rd. Dueces

[Canofbier]

This game is slow as shit.

[Nightfyre]

Hypothetical Question:

If you have an outfield that consists of Gordon/Cain/Myers, do you ever have to play an outfield shift with that range?

[stonedstooge]

Hypothetical Question:

If you have an outfield that consists of Gordon/Cain/Myers, do you ever have to play an outfield shift with that range?

How does Myers fielding rate?

[Nightfyre]

It's hard to tell because he just got moved to CF.

[duncan_idaho]

How does Myers fielding rate?

Eventually? Above average because he's a great athlete and has a tremendous throwing arm.

He runs pretty well (when his leg isn't falling apart, like it was last year).

Right now? It's not great. He's got some work to do, but he'll get there.

[Nightfyre]

WOW YUNI? WHAT THE ****? TRY RUNNING YOU FAT PIECE OF SHIT.

[Al Bundy]

Yuni and Frenchy are both slow as fuck...

[stonedstooge]

Yuni slides 10 feet from the bag

[Chief_in_Commander]

Their ya go Frenchy you FUCK...dig out ball 4 for a DP

[Al Bundy]

Well Chen got the game tied again... it's like our starters are allergic to the lead.

[Nightfyre]

Yuni should have been at second, if he runs hard, and interrupted the DP.

[stonedstooge]

It seems with all the information available to teams now on every ab and hit that opponents have, you about have to play the odds and stagger your outfield accordingly. Of course staggering your outfield works a hell of a lot better if you have a pitching staff that can consistently throw to a location. Right now the Royals don't really have that

[Al Bundy]

Dayton/Ned must really despise Gio.

[Nightfyre]

Wil Myers is a great fit in RF simply because he will make us forget about Frenchy's arm.

[SPchief]

Wil Myers is a great fit in RF simply because he will make us forget about Frenchy's arm.

:spock:

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw

Myers Since 6/1: .211/.240/.292 RT @soxbolt if I were a KC fan I would boycott games until Myers was playing & Francoeur gone. What a joke.

[Nightfyre]

Wil Myers has a cannon, Mr. SPchief. He's trying out at CF in Omaha, but given that his range is borderline, he is a prototypical RF. That's all I'm saying.

[Ceej]

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw

Myers Since 6/1: .211/.240/.292 RT @soxbolt if I were a KC fan I would boycott games until Myers was playing & Francoeur gone. What a joke.

Thanks for something we didn't already know.

Dipshit.

[Nightfyre]

Myers has slumped since the break. He was pretty hot in June.

[Reaper16]

Myers is probably bored.

[gblowfish]

Yuni is getting porky. He's slow as fuck on the bases and in the field. His range is zero.

[gblowfish]

If the Yanks make Ichiro shave, maybe the Royals should all have to wax their pubes, you know, to be more professional.

[Al Bundy]

Ryan.. the ball NEVER carries for the Royals.

[Ceej]

Yuniesky with a web gem.

Trade him for AIDs.

[stonedstooge]

Poo Holes was more fun to hate on when he was a RedTurd

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Yuniesky with a web gem.

Trade him for AIDs.

LMAO

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Poo Holes was more fun to hate on when he was a RedTurd

word

[Ceej]

It is frustrating watching Moose essentially just give up on an AB when he's down 0-2.

[stonedstooge]

Wasted leadoff single by Cain

[Nightfyre]

Time to pull bruce.

[CHENZ A!]

Bert Callaspo is still the fucking man.

[stonedstooge]

Time to pull bruce.

He hasn't given up the go ahead runs yet

[Nightfyre]

Now we can pull bruce, right stooge?

[Canofbier]

He hasn't given up the go ahead runs yet

There you go.

[stonedstooge]

Now we can pull bruce, right stooge?

:deevee:

[Ceej]

LMAO

Dude steals third on our slow ass catcher. Then Bruce gives up the lead. Well done Ned. As if the leadoff walk wasn't a big enough indication he was done.

[Ceej]

Ned is about as bright as that silly O's fan.

[Al Bundy]

LMAO

Dude steals third on our slow ass catcher. Then Bruce gives up the lead. Well done Ned. As if the leadoff walk wasn't a big enough indication he was done.

He stole that off Chen. Chen did just enough to lose again.

[Nightfyre]

Pena is an absolute liability in the running game.

[Ceej]

He stole that off Chen. Chen did just enough to lose again.

A combination of both. Brayan does some awkward arm cock before he throws it.

As the Angels do it again.

[stonedstooge]

Don't even contest another stolen base. JFC

[Nightfyre]

Comeback with that sick change Herrera!

[Sure-Oz]

Nothing Pena can do

[Al Bundy]

A combination of both. Brayan does some awkward arm cock before he throws it.

As the Angels do it again.

For sure.. but that first one looked to be all on Chen. Ohh well.

[Ceej]

For sure.. but that first one looked to be all on Chen. Ohh well.

I don't understand how nobody has coached Pena to fix that.

That arm cock, or whatever you call is it is only a fraction of a second -- which is enough to allow the runner to be safe.

[Nightfyre]

The first one was primarily on Chen. But Pena gives the ball zero chance. His throwing motion torques the ball like a slicing golf ball. Plus he has that hinky windup and is slow out of the crouch.

[Sure-Oz]

Quit smiling Frenchy

[Ceej]

Sweet.

I love Francoeur highlights from over a year ago!

[Sure-Oz]

Francouer has no business starting, period.

[Nightfyre]

Fuck you frenchy. you are a gaping, aids infested vagina in the lineup.

[Sure-Oz]

Pretty sure if mike trout was a royal frenchy would be blocking him

[Ceej]

**** you frenchy. you are a gaping, aids infested vagina in the lineup.

I love watching him miss fastballs right down the middle.

[lewdog]

Debating whether to make my bedtime soon or stay up and watch. Why do I even bother or care.....but I do.

[Nightfyre]

Hosmer and Pena think you should stay up Lew

[stonedstooge]

Pena with an RBI single. 3's

[lewdog]

Hosmer and Pena think you should stay up Lew

Ah Hellz yea!!!!

[Nightfyre]

They are running up Wilsons count pretty good tonight....

[DeezNutz]

I don't have the strong vitriolIc reaction that many of you have against Frenchy. I'm just ready for Myers to replace his ass.

It's cool. My buddy used to fuck fat girls in college, too. We're not mad at you.

[Nightfyre]

Go with the changeup H!

[SPchief]

Do angel fans think that every ball hit into the outfield is going to be a home run?

[stonedstooge]

Nice work Herrera

[Ceej]

Kelvin is a stud.

[Reaper16]

This game seems poised for extra innings. Why do we do this to ourselves, guys? Ugh.

[chefsos]

Do angel fans think that every ball hit into the outfield is going to be a home run?Trout's fly to CF? The LAA radio guy thought it was going out, too. Then he blamed the marine layer or some shit for keeping it in the park.

[Ceej]

This game seems poised for extra innings. Why do we do this to ourselves, guys? Ugh.

To bleed out and kill our bullpen more.

Fuck yeah!

[stonedstooge]

Dyson time Ned?

[mr. tegu]

Dang we averaged 10 hits a game on the ten game homestand? Nice.

[SPchief]

Trout's fly to CF? The LAA radio guy thought it was going out, too. Then he blamed the marine layer or some shit for keeping it in the park.

Yep, routine fly to center and the whole stadium erupted in cheers when the ball was hit.

[mr. tegu]

How is Yuni a good hitter Hud?

[Nightfyre]

Yuni should have taken the walk.

[Sure-Oz]

Worthless cmon

[mr. tegu]

Why don't we pinch hit Myers for Frenchy here?

[Nightfyre]

Or Dyson. Or anyone.

[stonedstooge]

Moose pissing and moaning in the dugout. I like that about him

[mr. tegu]

Yuni should have taken the walk.

He is in there for his bat though. /Hudler

[Ceej]

Moose will be hanging from a noose after Frenchy strikes out.

gg Royals fans.

[mr. tegu]

Moose pissing and moaning in the dugout. I like that about him

I was just thinking the same thing. Nice to see some care and not a stupid smile like Frenchy would have.

[Nightfyre]

Good Call.

[Nightfyre]

Does Ned know its okay to play small ball in the eighth?

[chiefsarkie]

That fly ball was deep enough to score anyone from 3rd base except maybe Billy. That was deep

[KevB]

Was there any doubt the outcome of that at bat?

[Sure-Oz]

Jeff Francouer has reached Sanchez hate levels

[Ceej]

Don't worry guys.

Moose may be dead.

But Yuniesky is such a great utility guy. He can handle third.

[Nightfyre]

Jeff Francouer has reached Sanchez hate levels

It was a redirection of Hatred.

[mr. tegu]

Was there any doubt the outcome of that at bat?

Yuni's or Frenchy's? Same answer for both I guess though.

[chiefsarkie]

Awful

[Nightfyre]

Don't worry guys.

Moose may be dead.

But Yuniesky is such a great utility guy. He can handle third.

[mr. tegu]

Jeff Francouer has reached Sanchez hate levels

Worst thing for Frenchy was Sanchez leaving. Btw it's funny that Ichiro got traded but didn't even half to pack a bag since NYY were playing in Seattle tonight.

[stonedstooge]

Does Ned know its okay to play small ball in the eighth?

Ned doesn't understand how to play to one of your strengths

[DeezNutz]

"Feel his man strength." /Hud

[chiefsarkie]

This game kind of reminds me of the season opener at Anaheim

[Ceej]

http://www.zombiemodding.com/Smileys/ZM_Smilies/Suicidal_Smiley.gif

Our time.

[mr. tegu]

Ryan and Hud arguing about the HR derby. Haha. Hud needs to know who he is broadcasting for.

[DeezNutz]

Ned: Bunts in the 3rd. In the fucking AL. Fail.
Ned: Doesn't bunt in the 8th in a tie game.

Makes sense.

[Nightfyre]

Holland needs to pound the slider outside.

[Nightfyre]

In fairness Deez, Yuni hasn't shown the ability to execute a sac fly. Also, I'm not sure why Angels fans thought that was a controversial strike.

[stonedstooge]

Dirty fucking pitch by Holland

[mr. tegu]

Holland getting nasty with that pitch.

[DeezNutz]

In fairness Deez, Yuni hasn't shown the ability to execute a sac fly. Also, I'm not sure why Angels fans thought that was a controversial strike.

Yuni is utterly worthless, no question.

Bunting in the third straight pisses me off, though.

[SPchief]

Aparently Angel fans don't know what a curveball looks like.

[DeezNutz]

Royals are so pathetic that we're still talking HR Derby? Enough already.

[Ceej]

Royals are so pathetic that we're still talking HR Derby? Enough already.

When the product on the field sucks a large bag of dicks your mind tends to wander.

[SPchief]

Come on Holland

[mr. tegu]

Royals are so pathetic that we're still talking HR Derby? Enough already.

Well Trumbo was up so it's natural to the conversation. Hud giving too much love to Trumbo so Ryan had to crush him.

[Sure-Oz]

Hud you're not an angel broadcaster, STFU now

[stonedstooge]

Settle down Holland, you can get this motherfucker

[mr. tegu]

3-0 walk him and get the next guy.

[SPchief]

That curve just aint working

[Ceej]

Ahhh...


The guy who broke his leg celebrating a walk-off.

Serve up a sympathetic meatball, Greg.

[mr. tegu]

Goodnight everyone.

[SPchief]

shit

[stonedstooge]

SHIT

[chiefsarkie]

Ready for the season to end. Sickening

[KevB]

You don't have a f'ing lefty to bring in there? Holland was clearly struggling, everything was up after Trumbo.

[chefsos]

That is a fucking killshot.

[mr. tegu]

Two outs no one to a three run inning. At least we can all get to sleep.

[stonedstooge]

You don't have a f'ing lefty to bring in there? Holland was clearly struggling, everything was up after Trumbo.

Hell Ned didn't even get anyone up in the dugout until about 3 pitches ago

[Reaper16]

My MLB TV just caught up with y'all. Time to catch some Z's, as they say. Sigh.

[Ceej]

Great fucking pitch, Greg.

A fastball and up. Perfect.

Here you go, Kendry.

[suzzer99]

What does it feel like to still be in it in July?

[Sure-Oz]

Great job by ned making sure no one was warmed up.

This fucking dumbass manager

[chiefsarkie]

Bases empty with two outs, then bang!

[KevB]

If the first guy gets on in the 9th, let's sacrifice him over to second with a bunt.

[mr. tegu]

What does it feel like to still be in it in July?

What do you mean? Chiefs are still in it.

[SPchief]

Now it's time to pull him

[CHENZ A!]

Fuck these fucking guys. I'm going to sleep. :cuss:

[Sure-Oz]

I have no idea why i stayed up...fucking hate being a fan of this team

[Ceej]

Are there even any potential unemployed former coaches who would even consider coming to KC??

[stonedstooge]

If the first guy gets on in the 9th, let's sacrifice him over to second with a bunt.

LMAO

[mr. tegu]

Great fucking pitch, Greg.

A fastball and up. Perfect.

Here you go, Kendry.

You knew it was coming though. When a guy can't get the ball down and then finally does it's not down enough and is instead right down the middle.

[chiefsarkie]

Walk a guy on 4 straight that is hitting .230 to load em up. He was done then! Thanks Ned!

[BigMeatballDave]

Can we please have a season in which my attention doesn't tune completely out at the start of Chiefs TC?

[DeezNutz]

Have to give Ned some slack because he's still adjusting to the time change.

[Ceej]

Let's bring in Jose Canseco to coach.

That'd be fun.

[mr. tegu]

Ryan is angry. Pointing out how Holland is likely upset and then looks out to see his teammates being chummy with the guy at second.

[SPchief]

Good news is that we've had success off of K-rod

[mr. tegu]

Can we please have a season in which my attention doesn't tune completely out at the start of Chiefs TC?

No. Where do you get the nerves to demand such a thing?

[stonedstooge]

Francona and Pinella are out there

[BigMeatballDave]

14-10 last month.

5-14 so far this month.

How the fuck does that happen?

Fuck Ned.

Fuck Dayton.

[Canofbier]

I have no idea why i stayed up...****ing hate being a fan of this team

.

[stonedstooge]

Pena poses for his out

[BigMeatballDave]

No. Where do you get the nerves to demand such a thing?

I said please :)

[SPchief]

Welp, see you all tomorrow night

[BigMeatballDave]

Have to give Ned some slack because he's still adjusting to the time change.

LOL

[Ceej]

Pena poses for his out

I saw that too.

Dumbass.

[stonedstooge]

Welp, get em tomorrow night

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Whoever came up with "Our Time" needs to be fired just for getting our hopes up.

[DeezNutz]

Was "Frenchy Quarter" supposed to be a reference to his OBP?

[BWillie]

Are we in dead last yet?

[Sure-Oz]

I just want a fucking championship in my lifetime that i give a shit about. Jeez....

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I just want a ****ing championship in my lifetime that i give a shit about. Jeez....

The Yankees probably have openings.

[Al Bundy]

Moose not being able to get Butler over was atrocious. Holland just sucked.

[mr. tegu]

Was "Frenchy Quarter" supposed to be a reference to his OBP?

LMAO

[ChiTown]

Funny enough, I have remained caring longer this season than I have in previous season's. Generally, by the end of May, I have given up. For some odd reason, I have hung around through late July. Progress, I suppose.

[BigMeatballDave]

Well, they played well in May and June.

The first time in like forever.

Reality has set in.
