[stonedstooge]

Could have a Pier 6er tonight in Chicago

[stonedstooge]

Royals down 1-0 after 2

[Nightfyre]

Royals are getting good contact on Sale early. let's hope it translates to runs down the line.

[Shogun]

Should have been done 2 months ago

[Ceej]

The White Sox have a White Sox man.

fucking stupid..

[stonedstooge]

Abreau shows off some defensive skills turning the double play. That's a plus

[lewdog]

Just to increase my pain, I am listening to the game on the Sox broadcast. Yes!!! Yes!!!!

[Ceej]

Just to increase my pain, I am listening to the game on the Sox broadcast. Yes!!! Yes!!!!

You're a brave soul.

[petegz28]

Wow not even close to a strike

[Shogun]

GMDM JR!

[Nightfyre]

Hmm. Keep doubting DMJR? I think I will.

[stonedstooge]

Frenchy with the dinger ties it up and ensures a contract through 2020. 1-1

[KCUnited]

Jeff Fanmoore with the bomb!

[TLO]

Just to increase my pain, I am listening to the game on the Sox broadcast. Yes!!! Yes!!!!

Yikes. :doh!:

I might join ya though. It's fun to listen to other teams announcers, (sometimes)

[stonedstooge]

Mendoza throwing a hell of a game again

[petegz28]

Billay

[kstater]

BELLY

[KcMizzou]

There ya go, Billy!

[Nightfyre]

Country Breakfast tastes so goooooooood

[stonedstooge]

Billy Bomb. 2-1

[Sure-Oz]

Chris Sale sucks, so glad dayton passed him!

[Nightfyre]

Salvy has been flirting with the long ball all game.

[petegz28]

Like clokwork we score then gve it right back

[stonedstooge]

Konerko with the line drive shot. 2-2

[DeezNutz]

Mendoza seems like he might be a bright spot. This is a good thing.

(Serious. Don't care about the HR.)

[KcMizzou]

Mendoza seems like he might be a bright spot. This is a good thing.

(Serious. Don't care about the HR.)He has been a bit of a silver lining. Gotta find 'em where ya can.

[DeezNutz]

He has been a bit of a silver lining. Gotta find 'em where ya can.

Amen. That's August for Royals fans.

[Nightfyre]

Abreu has some sweet hands.

[DeezNutz]

Fuzzy. LMAO. Comes out of his chair when Pena Jr. bobbles a Sunday hop but recovers.

Fuck, man. Some of the viewers might not be insanely stupid. Please give us that much credit.

[Ceej]

Mendoza seems like he might be a bright spot. This is a good thing.

(Serious. Don't care about the HR.)

I have to agree. He's been a surprise.

Depending on the rotation (or lack thereof) I would love to have him compete for another starting role next year.

Worst case put him in the bullpen as a long reliever when our starters all blow out their arms again.

[DeezNutz]

Agree 100 percent. He's earned a shot, and he looks like solid long relief at the very least.

Nice job, n00b. Time to bunt.

[Sure-Oz]

Mendoza will be a solid 5 starter if we get 4 new starters better than a 5

[DeezNutz]

Really? No sac in an obvious sac situation?

[KCUnited]

I'm thinking an Abreu bobblehead night for September 2013, let's order 20,000. /Toby Cook

[Ceej]

Agree 100 percent. He's earned a shot, and he looks like solid long relief at the very least.

Nice job, n00b. Time to bunt.

I agreed. Not sure why they didn't.

Getz has been hitting with MOARPOWERS!!!!!

[petegz28]

We hold abreu at 3rd there why?

[Nightfyre]

We hold abreu at 3rd there why?

So he doesn't get doubled up? :spock:

[kstater]

:facepalm:

[KCUnited]

Ned Washington.

[SPchief]

StuPid as fuck

[Ceej]

I was in the middle of talking about a squeeze play.

[Sure-Oz]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKkKKKKKK

[petegz28]

Jfc, stupid all the way around

[Sure-Oz]

This team is so damn stupid...

Hey Abreu plow that pussy pitcher next time

[stonedstooge]

Good fundemental ball there Ned.

[Ceej]

Not sure what Cain is up to.

[petegz28]

Your kc royals

[Ceej]

Stupid shit all the way around that inning.

[GoHuge]

:facepalm: :shake:

[stonedstooge]

The batboy will probably get canned after the game for that fuckup

[Nightfyre]

Not sure why Abreu broke on the bunt. Either he was supposed to break on the pitch or he should have stayed on third.

[petegz28]

Shouldnt have held the runner at 3rd in the first place. Escobar has to put that bunt down the 1st bae line if he s going to bunt and the squeeze was rather tupid

[Ceej]

I would like to be wrong.

But, I think Mendoza should have been pulled last inning.

[Ceej]

I would like to be wrong.

But, I think Mendoza should have been pulled last inning.

THIS!!!!

[stonedstooge]

Escobar didn't look like he was bunting for a hit, so I assume it was a called play. Escobar fucked the bunt up and FUCK ANOTHER HOME RUN. Royals down 3-2

[SPchief]

Typical

[Nzoner]

un:banghead::shake::spock:ROFLing believable

[petegz28]

Who didnt see that coming?

[Sure-Oz]

God forbid the Royals offense actually do shit

[stonedstooge]

I wonder if Eland is talking to Mendoza about having a "winning attitude"

[Ceej]

God forbid the Royals offense actually do shit

Sale is a tough guy to do so against.

Top of the 8th really killed their chances of winning the game.

[stonedstooge]

Ned wants to give up a couple of more runs before he pulls Mendoza

[DeezNutz]

Shouldnt have held the runner at 3rd in the first place. Escobar has to put that bunt down the 1st bae line if he s going to bunt and the squeeze was rather tupid

But Fuzzy said it was a great bunt and a great defensive play?

[TLO]

Good route to the ball Frenchy.

[DeezNutz]

Nice route, Dayton.

[Ceej]

Jeff just got the bat boy fired.

Nice play, dipshit.

[petegz28]

Good call leaving mendoza in there, ned

[Nightfyre]

Was it not clear to EVERYONE that his command was deteriorating rapidly? I mean, SERIOUSLY.

[stonedstooge]

Was it not clear to EVERYONE that his command was deteriorating rapidly? I mean, SERIOUSLY.

Ned just didn't see it

[DeezNutz]

Culture on the mound looked pretty winning.

[TLO]

Thankfully we didn't bring in the pen to start the 8th inning.

[Ceej]

Still liked Mendoza's outing.

It's a shame he shit all of our chests after we were pimping him.

[Nightfyre]

I don't blame a pitcher when his manager strands him out there after he's lost his edge.

[Al Bundy]

Culture on the mound looked pretty winning.

This was more on having gutless turds at bat, not doing anything to help the team win.

[DeezNutz]

Still liked Mendoza's outing.

It's a shame he shit all of our chests after we were pimping him.

Absolutely.

If a pitcher can go into the 8th and give up only 4, I'll take my chances. Good performance tonight, overall.

[Al Bundy]

Ohhh and Frenchy completely loafed once that ball got to and by him... he quit completely on the team right there.

[Nightfyre]

Especially against a hot white sox team. Phys said over the last couple weeks they have averaged over 6 runs a game.

[Ceej]

This was more on having gutless turds at bat, not doing anything to help the team win.

I can see how maybe you got Sale and Sanchez confused. They both start with "Sa."

[Al Bundy]

FUCK YOU Hudler for defending Francouer's lack of effort to get to that ball.

[DeezNutz]

I hate the White Sox. Absolutely cannot stand the organization.

[Al Bundy]

I can see how maybe you got Sale and Sanchez confused. They both start with "Sa."

Abreu should have nailed Sale and I mean HARD on that squeeze play, Sale should have gotten up missing teeth and a few broken bones. BTW a very gutless lack of effort at bat by Cain to make the third out.

[DeezNutz]

Should be scored an error, though it probably won't be.

[Nightfyre]

Good hustle by Salvy.

[Al Bundy]

Well here comes the game ending DP.

[Ceej]

Abreu should have nailed Sale and I mean HARD on that squeeze play, Sale should have gotten up missing teeth and a few broken bones. BTW a very gutless lack of effort at bat by Cain to make the third out.

I agree with this.

But Sale is a helluva pitcher.

[Al Bundy]

I agree with this.

But Sale is a helluva pitcher.

No way a pitcher should be able to just stand in the baseline and not get knocked down.

[stonedstooge]

What a shitfest 8th inning. FUCK

[Nightfyre]

Well, Yost's mismanagement costs the team again. Can't be rid of him soon enough.

[Al Bundy]

Hosmer is another guy I want out of here.

[petegz28]

Kc royals, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

[stonedstooge]

Well, Yost's mismanagement costs the team again. Can't be rid of him soon enough.

Sounds like a good cultural change to me.

[Ceej]

Was Hosmer retired 3 times on the first pitch tonight??

[Al Bundy]

Well, Yost's mismanagement costs the team again. Can't be rid of him soon enough.

He had something to do with it... but Francouer, Gordon and Cain were the real killers in this game.

[KCUnited]

Krispy Kreme giving away a free dozen donuts for every game Hosmer sees less than 12 pitches for the game.

[KevB]

Was Hosmer retired 3 times on the first pitch tonight??

Have to think at some point he might get a trip back to AAA. Does him no good to fail, fail and fail some more. He's at that point where most every outside pitch gets rolled over for a ground out and every inside pitch saws him off.

[stonedstooge]

He must have a good attitude. He should have been sent down before the All Star break. But I guess DM and Ned know best

[Ceej]

Krispy Kreme giving away a free dozen donuts for every game Hosmer sees less than 12 pitches for the game.

Those doughnuts are over rated just like Eric.

Bazinga???

[lewdog]

Those doughnuts are over rated just like Eric.

Bazinga???

You take that back!!!!!



































Those doughnuts fucking rock!

[KCUnited]

Rodriguez to be replaced by Owen after botched squeeze.

[Sure-Oz]

Hosmer hasn't driven the ball since the first series against the angels

[ChiefsCountry]

Have to think at some point he might get a trip back to AAA. Does him no good to fail, fail and fail some more. He's at that point where most every outside pitch gets rolled over for a ground out and every inside pitch saws him off.

For whatever reason he is not hitting this year. He still is over .300 on OBP though considering his hitting struggles.

[Al Bundy]

Uhhmm it's because Hosmer was completely overrated and we are finding out the truth, the hard way.

[gblowfish]

I fell asleep during the game, woke up in time to watch Abreu botch the safety squeeze. Man, you are a big guy, their pitcher is a skinny little douche, GO PETE ROSE ON HIS ASS.

Then I went back to napping.

Woke up in time to watch Hosmer hit in to a game ending DP.

That's my Royals....

[Reaper16]

Uhhmm it's because Hosmer was completely overrated and we are finding out the truth, the hard way.

That doesn't make any fucking sense.

[Al Bundy]

That doesn't make any ****ing sense.

People thought Hosmer was going to be a super stud. This year we are learning he is a dud.

[Reaper16]

People thought Hosmer was going to be a super stud. This year we are learning he is a dud.

Everyone thought so. Not just Royals fans, but the entire scouting community. I'd say its too early to say that he was overrated.

[DeezNutz]

People thought Hosmer was going to be a super stud. This year we are learning he is a dud.

We learned that he's developed a serious flaw in his approach. Next year we'll learn whether or not he can adjust.

People were too quick to attribute his struggles to luck, and it's approach.

Good news: it's fixable.

ROFL

[Nightfyre]

Yea, if you have a chance to destroy a divison rivals ace, you should prolly take it. Maybe I'm just a poor sport, though.

[chiefsarkie]

I'm ready for everyone to be canned from Ned to Fuzzy. Agree runner should have been waved home on Getz hit and Mendoza pitched well but was done after 7. Pissed!!!
