**** OFFICIAL 20120805 RANGERS @ ROYALS GAMETHREAD ****

[Nightfyre]

After one inning of action, the Royals lead 2-0 and Frenchy promptly kills a two-out surge.

[lewdog]

Just got here....how did we score?

[Nightfyre]

Dyson and Cain got on by walking and Salvy doubled them in.

[DeezNutz]

Dyson and Cain got on by walking and Salvy doubled them in.

Dyson chopped one off the plate for an infield single.

[Nightfyre]

Todays lineup:

Dyson, CF
Escobar, SS
Cain, LF
Butler, 1B
Perez, C
Francouer, RF
Betancourt, 3B
Pena, DH
Getz, 2B

I guess after Holland is done, we could sub Moose in for Betancourt and maybe Gordon in for Frenchy.

[Nightfyre]

Dyson chopped one off the plate for an infield single.
ah thats right. He worked that count really well and thats what I was thinking of.

[Ceej]

Dyson chopped one off the plate for an infield single.

Dude has been playing really well lately.

I feel incredibly dirty now.

[DeezNutz]

Dude has been playing really well lately.

I feel incredibly dirty now.

If he's not overexposed, he has the potential to offer value. Put him in a position as anything more than a fourth outfielder, though, and you're going to see exactly what we saw earlier this year: a lot of suck.

His approach at the plate is still terrible.

[DeezNutz]

All of the clowns hopping out of the car now.

[CoMoChief]

good job Butler

[petegz28]

2 errors and a HB...nice, way to give it away dicks

[CoMoChief]

2 errors and a HB...nice, way to give it away dicks

Royals baseball..........our time

[Nightfyre]

Jesus Hoch. Pull yourself together you pussy.

[petegz28]

JFC, thanks Billy Mcfrenchy

[petegz28]

JFc, Frenchy, WTF are you doing?

[Nightfyre]

Frenchy completely fucked that jump up and then chases the ball around like a moron.

[petegz28]

I almost hate to see him ht that HR

[Nightfyre]

Well he gets one of the three? runs he gave away back.

[Ceej]

If he's not overexposed, he has the potential to offer value. Put him in a position as anything more than a fourth outfielder, though, and you're going to see exactly what we saw earlier this year: a lot of suck.

I agree. I don't mind him as the fourth guy behind Cain, Gordon and Myers (if he's ever called up).

He'll be real good value if he can maintain this sort of consistency.

[SPchief]

Frenchy Homers and DM feels justified about the last half inning.

[lewdog]

But he is such a nice guy!:shrug:

:Lin:

[Nightfyre]

I like the sac bunt by Dyson there.

[DeezNutz]

No, Hud, there "isn't always room for a sac bunt."

It's the fifth inning, down by two, and we're in the AL. If the best option is the hitter bunting a player over to third, the individual should never be at the plate in the first place.

[Nightfyre]

He was bunting for a single, just got a little too much on it.

[SPchief]

Butler makes it a 1 run game

[Nightfyre]

Pena drives a 2 run HR to take the lead.

[petegz28]

Pena got his HR for the year

[Nightfyre]

I hate Betancourt. Moose makes that play, regardless of what stupid shit spews out of Huds face.

[petegz28]

I see we are working hard at keeping our streak of giving back runs right after we score

[DeezNutz]

Royals competing for the sweep. Rangers stupid on the bases.

[Nightfyre]

If we lose this game, I am going to be pissed. We had the opportunity to win each of the games we played in this series.

[DeezNutz]

Back to Dyson's gutless bunt in the fifth (base hit, great! if not, sac, great!), this is exactly why you don't play for one run at that point, especially against one of the best offenses in baseball.

Just bad baseball.

[DeezNutz]

Fuzzy working hard to string three cliches together. Just can't quite pull it off.

[Nightfyre]

Well, I hope Ned is happy having stacked 6 fucking right handed batters right on top of one another. His lineup management alone deserves to get him fired.

[petegz28]

That was just a bit outside, there, Ump

[CoMoChief]

is it just me or do the Royals need to mow their own grass?

seems a little long.

I also think they need to leave the crown cut into the outfield. STL leaves the arch in theirs from the ASG a few yrs back.

[petegz28]

So you just walked the #9, just called up from AA hitter in a tie game to lead off the 9th.

WTF?

[CoMoChief]

JFC

[petegz28]

And of course we not only walk him but let him go to 3rd

[petegz28]

And we luck out that Texas made one of the dumbest calls I have ever seen in baseball

[Al Bundy]

Holland did a good job of recognizing that.

[petegz28]

Texas just fucked themselves out of the lead and probably the win.,..lmao

[petegz28]

Just think about it, this game we have Hosmer, Moose and Gordon riding the pine. It's amazing we scored 6 runs to be honest.

[Nightfyre]

Why aren't we running for Pena?

[SPchief]

#freeouts

[SPchief]

Fuck you ump

[SPchief]

Escobar walks, 2 on 2 out in the 9th with Cain up

[petegz28]

Why aren't we running for Pena?

Because Gordon is too fast. Wait I mean, Moose is too fast. Wait, I mean Hosmer is too fast.

Come on, none of them are faster than Pena /Ned Yost

[SPchief]

Holy shit Escobar!

[Nightfyre]

These umps are so full of shit. What the fuck. Are they on the take for Texas or something? This whole fucking series....

[BigMeatballDave]

Dayton Jr. had a hr?

[Nightfyre]

It's time for a hearty Country Breakfast!

[Nightfyre]

Dayton Jr. also played some horrific defense which cost us three runs.

[SPchief]

Wtf! I'll take it

[chefsos]

You gotta take that gift and beat 'em over the head with it.

[Nightfyre]

That is exactly what happened to Escobar. Have frenchy sac bunt. Fuck you rex.

[chefsos]

WTF!!

[Nightfyre]

AHAHA FUCK YOU TEXAS!

[petegz28]

Well, that works I guess

[SPchief]

Seriously?

[ChiefsCountry]

Frenchy with the walk off.

[SPchief]

Walk off errors

[Al Bundy]

Good god.

[SPchief]

"that'll show you to doubt me" gmdm

[Nightfyre]

I will take a win like that. The Royals haven't gotten lucky all year it seems like.

[Nightfyre]

Now I will go watch Dwyer at Omaha.

[Al Bundy]

I dont hate Francouer, I HATED Sanchez, I HATE Yuni because the latter 2 didn't try.

[ChiefsCountry]

I think Yuni just got DFA.

[TLO]

I am rewatching the game right now because I didn't have a chance to see it earlier. I saw Holland got the win- but all I really want to know is did he blow the save?

[Nightfyre]

It wasn't a save opportunity. I am still not sure how he didn't blow the win, however.

[TLO]

It wasn't a save opportunity. I am still not sure how he didn't blow the win, however.

Haha. Well the game thus far has been comical. So I am looking forward to the rest of it.

[JoeyChuckles]

I think Yuni just got DFA.

I thought you were joking till I looked this up. Good news.
