****Official Royals Vs. The Jim Johnsons Gamethread 7/22****

[SPchief]

Hopefully we don't get to see an elite closer tonight.

[lead_block]

Wade Davis no hitter thru 6 calling it now.

[MrGiggity]

Jim Johnson can eat a jumbo size bag of dicks

[MrGiggity]

Wade Davis no hitter thru 6 calling it now.

through six pitches you mean?

[lead_block]

through six pitches you mean?

:mad: you caught on

[BlackHelicopters]

In for one run!

[lead_block]

there goes the perfect game

[MrGiggity]

there goes the perfect game

No hitter still in tact.

[SPchief]

Jesus Moose

[BlackHelicopters]

Great start Wade

[lead_block]

ballgame

[Toadkiller]

Hah what a shit storm and exactly what we need so we can sell, sell, sell.

[siberian khatru]

Wade Davis, ladies and gentlemen

[Bambi]

Wade Davis and Moustakas. Are there two more unlikeable players in baseball?

[MrGiggity]

Moose and Davis should be sent to AAA right after this half inning

[BlackHelicopters]

JFC

[siberian khatru]

Keep imploding, Royals. Might convince Dayton to sell.

[petegz28]

Lmao phys was talking up how few errors the royals have made this month then moose wastes no time with a run producing error

[Al Bundy]

I'm not going to say this game is over, but these aren't the last runs Wade K Davies will be giving up.

[BlackHelicopters]

Shields for Myers basically.

[BlackHelicopters]

Davis is a waste of oxygen

[GloryDayz]

Moose will turn it on any game now!

[GloryDayz]

Yost looking like a fool! LOL!

[BlackHelicopters]

This team is an abortion

[Ceej]

Feldman with a 5.79ERA.

Royals will grind out one rub.

[Shogun]

When can we expect the Royal baby to be ready to contribute?

[WhawhaWhat]

Feldman with a 5.79ERA.

Royals will grind out one rub.

Too bad they're shooting blanks.

[BlackHelicopters]

Scott Feldman-Cy Young award winner

[Ceej]

Well, played gentlemen.

Best autocorrect ever.

[Nightfyre]

So while the first inning was disheartening, if Davis can pull his shit together and quit hanging balls we may have a ballgame. The Royals are making good contact on Feldman..

[Bambi]

Little leaguers hit harder than the Royals. What a shit team.

[Al Bundy]

Little leaguers hit harder than the Royals. What a shit team.

Sad but true.

[MrGiggity]

Why wasn't Wade Davis an all star?

[BlackHelicopters]

Ice pick please

[stonedstooge]

Davies might hit 100 pitches in the 4th

[Archie F. Swin]

I see evil Wade Davis is on the bump

[BlackHelicopters]

Kyle Davies looks sharp

[Mr. Laz]

no other options for starters in the minors?



sloppy in the field ... looks like we don't want to be playing

[mlyonsd]

Ha ha, he almost fucked up backing the play.

[DeezNutz]

It's pretty shocking to see a starting pitcher with a near 6.00 ERA struggle.

[Ceej]

Wade's arm must be fatigued from throwing BP at the home run derby.

[BlackHelicopters]

Wow! Inept!

[Chiefless]

Kyle Davies looks sharp

He's tripple play away from getting out of this inning.

[BlackHelicopters]

Lowered ERA to 5.81 with that K.

[stonedstooge]

Is Duffy close yet to coming back?

[BlackHelicopters]

4 outs. 50 pitches.

[Ceej]

Trade Davis for some Pringles right now.

His trade value is through the roof.

[stonedstooge]

A O CAIN!

[Ceej]

Almost a Jim Johnson-like inning.

[Toadkiller]

Cain is really impressing lately.

[Archie F. Swin]

ho---leee---shit what a catch

[Mr. Laz]

Cain!!

[lead_block]

that catch saved 3+ runs

[BlackHelicopters]

LoCain!

[BlackHelicopters]

Davis nuts up

[Al Bundy]

Cain just saved Davies worthless bacon.

[Archie F. Swin]

that was a 1/2" from not being caught

[Prison Bitch]

Wow. One of the best catches I've seen. I was there the night Jim Edmonds made the diving over his shoulder catch on David Howard in the 90s. That was probably the best ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56f4xH4ZoEM

[Bambi]

And Rex goes and ruins it by calling Cain "one of the best center fielders in baseball".

[Ceej]

Jones stares down Cain.

I liked Jones.

[Prison Bitch]

And Rex goes and ruins it by calling Cain "one of the best center fielders in baseball".

If he's saying defensively, he probably is.

[SPchief]

Ran to the grocery store and missed the catch. Just saw the replay. :eek: Holy shit

[DeezNutz]

That was a beautiful catch. Just gorgeous.

[WhawhaWhat]

Jones stares down Cain.

I liked Jones.

Looked like he was smiling to me.

[stonedstooge]

Cheap hit

[Ceej]

Oh good.

Wade pitches much better with runners on.

[lead_block]

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.....here we go..

[SPchief]

Ned, you awake?

[DeezNutz]

Davies has been atrocious, and what's amazing is that he's been lucky as shit, and still fucking terrible.

Royals: Come to Play

[Ceej]

Well, at this rate we are going to be lucky enough not see one of the top 5 closers tonight.

Whew!!

[duncan_idaho]

Wade Davis is just terrible.

That's unexpected. I didn't expect him to necessarily be a stud or even a GOOD starter... but I figured they could get solid No. 4/No. 5 level contributions out of him, since he had done that twice already, at a younger age.

Guy might be WORSE than Davies or Hochevar were as starters.

[DeezNutz]

He had no shot at the runner at home. Wow.

[petegz28]

:facepalm:

[SPchief]

Ned, theres still a chance to salvage this game

[DeezNutz]

Selfish decision by Gordon, but I think it's made out of desperation because of Davies' crap.

[duncan_idaho]

Selfish decision by Gordon, but I think it's made out of desperation because of Davies' crap.

If that throw is 2 feet lower, Wieters is toast, we're all laughing at him for trying to score on Gordon, and it's probably on SportsCenter.

No problem with Alex taking a shot there.

[petegz28]

So how many games in a row is that now that Davies didn't make it 5 innings?

[duncan_idaho]

So how many games in a row is that now that Davies didn't make it 5 innings?

He actually had made it 2 straight starts with 5 IP or more before tonight's debacle and had made it 5 IP or more in 12/13 starts.

[SPchief]

Damn

[tk13]

Well that was just perfect.

[petegz28]

He actually had made it 2 straight starts with 5 IP or more before tonight's debacle and had made it 5 IP or more in 12/13 starts.

I think I was thinking of the other Davies that's in the game now

[petegz28]

:facepalm:

[GloryDayz]

LOL, that's an Ooooops for sure...

[petegz28]

Butler grounds to SS??? Nah! Can't be......

[petegz28]

I don't know WTF is with Butler this season but he grounds out to the SS I bet 50% of his AB's where he puts the bat on the ball, if not more

[petegz28]

Gee, wouldn't want to see Lough in the #2 spot or anything.....

[Canofbier]

UNBELOUGHVABLE

[Ceej]

And Roberts didn't attempt to swing there?

Hmm, okay.

[Al Bundy]

I don't know WTF is with Butler this season but he grounds out to the SS I bet 50% of his AB's where he puts the bat on the ball, if not more

Lack of effort and I don't mean in game effort, I mean off season effort.

[DeezNutz]

This conversation of the wear and tear of jogging out to defensive positions is easily the most Royals of all Royals discussions this year.

Seriously, all of these fucking dipshit announcers should be reprimanded for this embarrassment.

[BWillie]

Am I reading this box score right? Davis went 2 innings and had 83 pitches? How is that even possible

[Al Bundy]

Am I reading this box score right? Davis went 2 innings and had 83 pitches? How is that even possible

I thought he went 3 innings.

[BWillie]

I thought he went 3 innings.

Guess it says 2.2

[Ceej]

He got a hold of that one.

[Al Bundy]

Fucking Perez.

[tk13]

This conversation of the wear and tear of jogging out to defensive positions is easily the most Royals of all Royals discussions this year.

Seriously, all of these ****ing dipshit announcers should be reprimanded for this embarrassment.

Kauffman Stadium is big, man. We'd hit more homers if the team didn't have to run so far from the dugout to play defense.

[DeezNutz]

Kauffman Stadium is big, man. We'd hit more homers if the team didn't have to run so far from the dugout to play defense.

Yep, that's the logical extension.

And Davis applies the kill shot.

[Toadkiller]

ok I am out of here. Night all. Hope I wake up to a someone confirming we are shopping Santana.

[siberian khatru]

No big deal. So long as we sweep the Tigers and Indians in September, we are still in this.

[Al Bundy]

Yep, that's the logical extension.

And Davis applies the kill shot.

Davis is a MAN, all this team employs are little boys. Belly, Eric, Mistake, Perez.. all little boys compared to Davis.

[stonedstooge]

Another Roidrun.

[Nightfyre]

Well, Duffy should be up shortly. Too bad it won't save us from Mendoza/chen/Davis in the number five slot.

[GloryDayz]

Well, this is an ass-woopin!

[tk13]

I guess the positive is our hitters won't have their confidence destroyed by Jim Johnson in the 9th.

[petegz28]

So you put our 2 worst pitchers on the mound in 1 game and Yost is still wondering why we are down by 7?

[siberian khatru]

Notice how Hardy's HR killed that rally?

[Ceej]

Two runs against Cory Feldman.

[petegz28]

Any Manager that runs Wade Davis and Mendoza out in the same game deserves a one way ticket to the unemployment line.

[mlyonsd]

Pinball wizard.

[petegz28]

Good thing they brought in Hoch when we were 7 down instead of bringing him earlier....like when we were 3 down and what not....Yost continues to demonstrate what a mad scientist he is

[siberian khatru]

Boy, you talk about rolling over the last four innings.

[Al Bundy]

That was an ass whipping.. one team has major league players and the other is the Royals.

[siberian khatru]

Oh, and BTW, Detroit won.

So those two games we made up in the standings Friday and Saturday? Gone.

[Shogun]

Royal Abortion

[AussieChiefsFan]

Oh, and BTW, Detroit won.

So those two games we made up in the standings Friday and Saturday? Gone.:banghead:

[ChiTown]

Davis and MexiMullet in the same game?LMAO

Wtf kind of retard does that?

[ChiTown]

Oh, and BTW, Detroit won.

So those two games we made up in the standings Friday and Saturday? Gone.

Just torch this POS franchise already.

[Nightfyre]

Davis and MexiMullet in the same game?LMAO

Wtf kind of retard does that?

Ned Yost gave up on the game at the very moment he put Mendoza in.

[BlackHelicopters]

Boy, you talk about rolling over the entire nine innings.

FYP

[GloryDayz]

That was an ass whipping.. one team has major league players and the other is the Royals.

Rep!

[BigCatDaddy]

Ned Yost gave up on the game at the very moment he put Mendoza in.

Mendoza isn't a long relief guy. He needs regular work to be effective. When they took him out of the rotation that hurt the team in numerous ways. He's a starter or he needs to be in the minors.
