**** Royals vs Red Sox (8/10/13) ****

[TLO]

BOS: Felix Doubront (8-5, 3.56)

Perhaps Boston's most consistent starter, Doubront hasn't allowed more than three runs in an outing since May 26, surrendering only 20 runs in his past 12 starts.

KC: Jeremy Guthrie (12-7, 3.96)

Guthrie limited the Twins to just four hits in a shutout on Monday -- his sixth complete game and second career shutout. Guthrie had command of all his pitches, needing only 106 in the win. He's won four straight and a career-high 12.

Let's do this!!!

[Dr. Gigglepants]

Tailgating in 1 hour

Fuck yeah

[chiefsfan987]

A's just lost. With a win KC gets to 3.5 back of the second wildcard.

[KCwolf]

It's awesome to be excited about baseball again .... been a LONG time since I've looked this forward to every game! Go Guthrie!

[BlackHelicopters]

In for the win.I got a fever, and the only cure is another Royals win.

[TribalElder]

Come on Royals

Hope they are eating a few Z Man sammiches today!

Your liver hates you.

In all seriousness though, careful with that combo.

Some positive news:

The Giants lead the Jim Johnson's, 3-1 in the 7th.
The Dodgers lead the Rays, 5-0 in the 6th.
The A's already lost 5-4 to the Blue Jays.

Unfortunately the Tigers did win, but I'm not in the crowd of people who believe we're in that race, so I'm pretty focused on the Wild Card.

Just gotta keep winning. Do that, and SOMETHING else good will happen every day.

[Mr. Laz]

Seriously having Husker Hat Night at the K on a night they are playing the RED sox?

so 1/3 of the crowd is going to be flashing red.

:doh!:

I look at the Tigers winning as being positive for us as well. I don't think we have much of a shot at the division either so them beating the team right behind us for the wild card chase is a good thing. The further the Yankees get behind us the better because we're probably going to need them later to beat the O's and Rays for us.

[BlackHelicopters]

[KCUnited]

Run that midget.

[Discuss Thrower]

Show up that ump

[Sure-Oz]

Toss Pedroia back to the lollipop guild

[Mr. Laz]

Pedroia is still running his mouth


throw him out, ump

[Toadkiller]

Exciting to see such a big crowd at the K. Would love to jump ahead early so the crowd can be loud.

[Coach]

Sit your ass down, Big Poppa Piss.

[tk13]

Nice job getting 4 outs that inning. Threw a lot of pitches though.

[Mr. Laz]

sit down, big papsmear

[petegz28]

Nice job getting 4 outs that inning. Threw a lot of pitches though.

No shit. Guts got jobed bad

[Coach]

Nice job getting 4 outs that inning. Threw a lot of pitches though.

Yeah, Miggy overrunning that popup kind of hurt. Just glad no runs scored was the most important thing though.

I think Guts would take the extra pitches over giving up a run.

[petegz28]

Yeah, Miggy overrunning that popup kind of hurt. Just glad no runs scored was the most important thing though.

I think Guts would take the extra pitches over giving up a run.

What about what was strike 3 to Victarino that was called ball 1?

[Mr. Laz]

why is esky batting leadoff?

[TLO]

Hosmer is on fire.

[siberian khatru]

Hos now at .300

[Stanley Nickels]

I don't care if Buter has the highest BA on this team.. there's no way a DH should be below .300 on a "playoff-caliber" team.

[Stanley Nickels]

I don't care if Buter has the highest BA on this team.. there's no way a DH should be below .300 on a "playoff-caliber" team.

Nevermind I'm wrong-- he doesn't have the highest BA on the team. He's behind Hos and Tejada.

[TLO]

Swung at ball 4

[Stanley Nickels]

I don't care if Buter has the highest BA on this team.. there's no way a DH should be below .300 on a "playoff-caliber" team.

Neg rep for incorrect facts.

[Mr. Laz]

Belly swinging for the fences again

[TLO]

Then flies out to center. :facepalm:

[TLO]

Throw the fucking ball already... JFC.

[siberian khatru]

I don't care if Buter has the highest BA on this team.. there's no way a DH should be below .300 on a "playoff-caliber" team.

You know how many DH's are hitting .300 (minimum 200 PAs)? One (Ortiz). Billy is 3rd in BA.

Billy is third in OPS, ahead of contending-team DHs Luke Scott, Victor Martinez, Lance Berkman and Seth Smith.

Billy is 5th in slugging, ahead of Martinez, Smith and Berkman.

[Shogun]

Just got back from Town Topic. LETS GO!

[TLO]

2 on
2 outs

Maxwell at bat.

[Mr. Laz]

look at that

If Billy hadn't been hunting glory by swinging at ball 4 the bases would be juiced right now

[Coach]

Solid Inning. Using up his PC.

[siberian khatru]

Maxwell continues to impress

[TLO]

Damn good AB

Bases loaded, 2 outs. Miggy at the bat.

[Mr. Laz]

come on, miggy


just a single ... get it out of the infield

[Mr. Laz]

Tough luck

[CoMoChief]

Thank you for the concern. Been abusing my liver this way for about 3 years. Helps to have your own prescription pad and a friendly pharmacist. God love him.

Have fun passing out. Check in later for results from the game.

[Coach]

Good inning, even though no runs scored, but still, we're getting to this guy one way or another. Also using up his pitches, so that's a good sign as well.

[milkman]

Maxwell continues to impress

Tell me about Justin Maxwell.

[TLO]

Sit down bitch!

[stonedstooge]

Tell me about Justin Maxwell.

Reminds me of a young Dave Winfield

[Mr. Laz]

Guthrie seems to be keeping the ball down tonight

:clap:

[Mr. Laz]

No, seriously, Rex Hudler's going to give you a ball, young man.

[Discuss Thrower]

Awwww Rex building himself some friendly capital.

[Mr. Laz]

[KCUnited]

Hud should be broadcasting games at the Lil K full time.

[Fairplay]

Brat gets a ball, good lesson

[gblowfish]

Uncle Hud is a bonehead, but that was pretty cool of him.

[Toadkiller]

55 pitches in the 2nd inning. How is the Red Sox bullpen?

[Mr. Laz]

come Dyson ... get to stealing

[Discuss Thrower]

Brat gets a ball, good lesson

To be fair he did touch it first

[Mr. Laz]

Esky's worthless at the plate

[Mr. Laz]

To be fair he did touch it first

yep, his mom screwed him over by stealing his ball and giving it to his little brother.

he lost his ball and his mother's love all at once ... traumatic for a kid.

:D

[gblowfish]

Maybe Uncle Hud should have went down there and bitch slapped that little kid and said "Life isn't fair, you little peckerhead. STFU and STFD." Then he asks mom for her phone number, and meets her in the parking lot later for a handie.

[chiefsfan987]

That was really stupid of Escobar to not take a couple pitches to give Dyson a chance to steal second.

[Shogun]

[Mr. Laz]

fuck nebraska

cornholer bitches

[gblowfish]

It's cornhole night.
Esky just got cornholed right there....

[Discuss Thrower]

Wtf was that

[gblowfish]

Nobody gives a fuck what a former Angels player thinks. This guy is going all Mike Sweeney on us....

[KCUnited]

Gripping conversation.

[gblowfish]

Jesus Hud, just get under the desk and blow this guy and get it over with....

[Fairplay]

huds all fired up tonight

[gblowfish]

It'll be nice to get Salvy back and stop this base stealing shit....

[chiefsfan987]

We have to get Salvy back tomorrow. Teams can run on us at will without him back there.

[Mr. Laz]

It'll be nice to get Salvy back and stop this base stealing shit....yep

as far as i can tell neither Kot or Hayes have enough arm to throw guys out very much

[KCUnited]

Please let this half inning end.

[chiefsfan987]

I'd just walk ortiz here. Make the next guy beat you....

[Mr. Laz]

big papsmear fails again

[siberian khatru]

Escaped

[TLO]

No damage done. I'm not one to comlain about umps but this guy is pissing me off.

[PHOG]

Darin Erstadt??

[Fairplay]

We have to get Salvy back tomorrow. Teams can run on us at will without him back there.



Tomorrows game I hope.

[Discuss Thrower]

Yeeeeeesh

[Fairplay]

Perez could be our Molina of the American League.

[Mr. Laz]

That is the 3rd time the ball has 'gotten away' from Doubront way high and tight

twice on Hoz and once on Gordo




:cuss:

[TLO]

65 pitches through 2 1/3 inning. Sox pen better be ready.

[Discuss Thrower]

FUCK

[TLO]

Good swing Gordo. That was close.

[Toadkiller]

Damn sounded gone.

[PHOG]

Park it Max

[TLO]

Maxwell with a nice single up the middle.

2 on 2 out

[siberian khatru]

Hammer Time

[PHOG]

well, that'll work too :D

[Fairplay]

Maxwell - !

[gblowfish]

Hud and Fizz need to learn a few things about Royals fans. We don't like the White Sox, Oakland, Cleveland and especially the Yankees. We could give a fuck about the Angels.

Please shut this guy up.

[TLO]

Let's go Miggy!!

[PHOG]

Hud and Fizz need to learn a few things about Royals fans. We don't like the White Sox, Oakland, Cleveland and especially the Yankees. We could give a **** about the Angels.

Please shut this guy up.

This has almost been going on for TWO innings

[TLO]

Bleh.

[Mr. Laz]

miggy coming up short tonight

[siberian khatru]

Just can't break through vs. Dubront

[Bambi]

Only the Royals would have "husker night" when the Red Sox are in town.

:facepalm:

[TLO]

I do like Pancakes...

[PHOG]

Thank God they weren't doing the radio...peeps woulda been changing the station, wondering where the game was!

[Fairplay]

HUD talking to that dude while playing with that ball in his hand.

:hmmm:

[TLO]

Only the Royals would have "husker night" when the Red Sox are in town.

:facepalm:

This is a Q but I agree.

[TLO]

I hope we see Will Smith tonight if Guthrie is pulled early.

[PunkinDrublic]

Guthrie had about 4 strikes not called in that first ab.

[TLO]

Where's Pete to bitch about the ump?

[Fairplay]

Oh no..........

[chiefsfan987]

need a double play.

[stonedstooge]

shit

[Fairplay]

Sad face.

:(

[Mr. Laz]

Maxwell is slow in the outfield

[tk13]

Well that was ugly.

[stonedstooge]

Welp, we need another come from behind victory tonight. No problem

[Stanley Nickels]

Holy shit he's clunky out there.

[TLO]

Herp a derp derp

[PunkinDrublic]

3 straight strikes to drew 1 of which gets called. No wonder they can afford to wait around for the pitch to hit.

[Fairplay]

Fuck me

[TLO]

Fuck

[Stanley Nickels]

Not good at all.

[siberian khatru]

Shit

[AndChiefs]

Plenty of time.

[Toadkiller]

fuck

[chiefsfan987]

Get someone warming. I have a feeling Guthrie is about to implode.

[TLO]

Get Smith up now.

[gblowfish]

Well damn....

[siberian khatru]

Maxwell's D might be a bit overrated

[Mr. Laz]

maybe Maxwell should stick to DH and PH

he is frenchy slow out there

[TLO]

Still plenty of time. Limit them @ 4

[mr. tegu]

Maxwell owes a grand slam.

[chiefsfan987]

i could feel that coming from a mile away. Ned needs to get him out now.

[TLO]

Oh no... Mendoza up :facepalm:

[Fairplay]

Get someone warming. I have a feeling Guthrie is about to implode.



Too early, Royals could keep him in till the sixth and figure 2 out of 3 from Boston isn't bad.

[TLO]

Too early, Royals could keep him in till the sixth and figure 2 out of 3 out of Boston isn't bad.

Losers mentality.

[mr. tegu]

Mendoza verse this team will end the game really quick.

[gblowfish]

Mendoza is the Ned White Flag.

[Mr. Laz]

Too early, Royals could keep him in till the sixth and figure 2 out of 3 from Boston isn't bad.
just die in a fire


so your plan is to give up?



suck my dick

[TLO]

This zone better be this tight when we bat. FFS

[mr. tegu]

Too early, Royals could keep him in till the sixth and figure 2 out of 3 from Boston isn't bad.

Well it's four games and after winning the first two you have to win the series.

Tiny strike zone by the way.

[PunkinDrublic]

This zone better be this tight when we bat. FFS

Boston hitters were crying to the home plate ump early in the game now they are getting their wish and Guts is getting squeezed.

[Fairplay]

just die in a fire


so your plan is to give up?



suck my dick



Heh, no I wouldn't give up, I'm just telling you what I think Yost is thinking.

Our bullpen gets paid to relieve, get out there and hope our bats liven up.

[gblowfish]

Doesn't anybody on the Red Sox own a razor? These guys look like a House of David team.

[CoMoChief]

Damnit

[mr. tegu]

Boston's game plan seems to be not to swing at all. We should probably do the same the rest of the night.

[lcarus]

I swear every time I try to watch a Royals game online, we get owned. I'm turning it off right now so we have a chance to come back.

I swear every time I try to watch a Royals game online, we get owned. I'm turning it off right now so we have a chance to come back.



Good.

[mr. tegu]

Big inning right here with their pitcher likely in his last inning. We need to get to him before they can pull him out.

[TLO]

Sweet vodka. Sweet Vicodin. Sweet Klonopin.

Are you still alive? :hmmm:

[chiefsfan987]

Got to put something on the board this inning.

This guy isn't that good, need to capitalize here.

What is the Boulevard ipa on that list?

[TLO]

Maxwell needs to make up for his blunder in RF

[chiefsfan987]

The yahoo boxscore is all messed up. It said Gordon hit a home run to shallow left and tied the game.

[TLO]

Ow...that hurts.

Lol. That would be weird as hell. And it would suck, since....ya know...I enjoy watching.
