I'm in for 8 runs again tonight!

PICS 4 GUD LUCK

[Unsmooth-Moment]

In

[Bowser]

Stomp those shits

[BlackHelicopters]

In for two in a row

[C3HIEF3S]

In!

Hope Vargas can keep it rolling.

[mr. tegu]

Masterson has started off a little slow this season so it would be nice to get to him before he gets it together later in the season.

[Anyong Bluth]

How can there be no telecast for the game in this day and age? At least one of the teams should be scheduled to work a broadcast. If you've got the MLB package at the very least they should provide you with the live feed for the game - it's not like they don't still have the cameramen working the game just like normal- that's how you have feed shown at the stadium, and with replay now instituted it's definitely broadcast and made available for the offices in NYC. So make it part of the season pass!

What are you referring to?

[Anyong Bluth]

What are you referring to?

No tv for the game - at least that's what it's showing on the mlb app.

[BlackHelicopters]

No tv for the game - at least that's what it's showing on the mlb app.

I thought there was no TV tomorrow

[mr. tegu]

No tv for the game - at least that's what it's showing on the mlb app.

FSKC says it will be on tonight.

http://msn.foxsports.com/tv-listings

[mr. tegu]

I thought there was no TV tomorrow

It looks like it will be on in Cleveland so we will just have to get the online streaming feed.

[C3HIEF3S]

If yu have mlb.tv and neither team broadcasts the game I'm pretty sure they broadcast it.
I think it happened last season, also against the Indians in Cleveland.

[petegz28]

FSKC says it will be on tonight.

http://msn.foxsports.com/tv-listings

It will be on tonight and not televised tomorrow.

[petegz28]

Sometimes it's good to just listen to the game on the radio. Kinda like we did back in the 1900's, ya know?

[Pablo]

Ready to watch Vargas and this defense work.

[SPchief]

Lets do this shit!

[Halfcan]

Sal needs to start hitting again.

[BlackHelicopters]

30 minutes away. Let's do it!

[Anyong Bluth]

30 minutes away. Let's do it!

Anyone know how many day games we have this year?

I don't know why, but as I've gotten older, I seem to like them more and more...

[petegz28]

I don't know why, but as I've gotten older, I seem to like them more and more...

Just the ones on the schedule. I don't think there are any others. :evil:

[stonedstooge]

LET'S GO BITCHES

[Why Not?]

In. New winning streak starts now.

[C3HIEF3S]

He's hitting the ball hard right now.

[stonedstooge]

In. New winning streak started yesterday.

Dummy

[SPchief]

Damnit Erica

[stonedstooge]

Sigh Belly

[Why Not?]

Dummy

Not a streak until you win more than one, no?

[petegz28]

Pitch was no where near to close to being anything that looked like it might almost be a strike

[stonedstooge]

Not a streak until you win more than one, no?

Just joshing you

[TLO]

The stands sure are packed tonight.

[Why Not?]

Ahh yes. A good Josh since I bit on it.

[SPchief]

There may be less people there tonight than last night

[petegz28]

Uh, okay, can we try getting guys out now?

[SPchief]

Salvy!

[petegz28]

nice play, Salvy!

[C3HIEF3S]

Hell yeah!

[TLO]

OH BABY

[TLO]

"See I talked to him before the game, and he said...."
-Hud

[SPchief]

Strike zone is tiny to start

[stonedstooge]

Strike zone is tiny to start

Better have them swinging then/Ned

[TLO]

I strongly dislike Fizz. At least Hud can be entertaining and make me laugh from the random shit he says. Fizz just puts me to sleep.

[TLO]

20+ pitches in the first for Vargas.

[-King-]

Why is Physioc unable to say Perez? He says "Puh=Rehz".

[C3HIEF3S]

That'll do. No damage.

[TLO]

No damage done.

[SPchief]

Why is Physioc unable to say Perez? He says "Puh=Rehz".

He actually most of the time says PEARez. Drives me batty

[TLO]

Why is Physioc unable to say Perez? He says "Puh=Rehz".

LMAO I noticed that too. He needs to GTFO.

[Why Not?]

We can usually count on our old buddy Rayburn to choke

[Discuss Thrower]

The "greatest hitter in the world" kid has better slugging numbers than Billy Butler.

[duncan_idaho]

Tight strike zone does not favor KC.

Side note:

Justin Masterson flat-out murders RH batters. Last year:

2.16 ERA
0.91 WHIP
.267 OBP
.240 SLG
.181 BA
11.2 K/9

Going to need the lefties in this lineup to get things done tonight.

[TLO]

ĎŞďéřğëřł

[C3HIEF3S]

Tack another one on to the Alex Gordon Broken Bat Count

[TLO]

SALVY!!!!!!!!

[C3HIEF3S]

2 rally killers in a row

[Toadkiller]

[lewdog]

UM....WHAT?!

New look Royals, baby!

[GloryDayz]

OK, I'll stick around (for now) I guess.

[Reerun_KC]

Well done failoyls.

[mr. tegu]

I saw it don't worry. :)

Impressive work by Perez. Masterson gave up just 3 HR to RH batters last season in 79 1/3 IP.

[Why Not?]

Oh yeah baby!

[Toadkiller]

Damn that is so nice to see. Back to back.

[SPchief]

WTF is this power shit? MOAR DOUBLES

[C3HIEF3S]

Come on Vargas.

[stonedstooge]

shit

[C3HIEF3S]

fuck

[SPchief]

Damn

[Sannyasi]

Unfortunate that Vargas' luck had to run out tonight.

[Reerun_KC]

And just like that. Rofl

[petegz28]

Vargas just ain't got it tonight

[siberian khatru]

Regression is a bitch

[C3HIEF3S]

He couldn't stay invincible forever.

[mr. tegu]

Vargas has been pitching way above his career norms. Hopefully he can limit it to this.

[C3HIEF3S]

Swing the bat

[Reerun_KC]

Aoki would make a great womens softball player.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice Omar

[tk13]

Michael Pineda just got tossed for pine tar on his neck against the Red Sox. LMAO

He wasn't even trying to hide it. Kind of amazing after the controversy last time.

Can't fix stupid.

[Al Bundy]

Looks like the wad has been shot

[mr. tegu]

Typical Royals. All they can do is hit home runs and then go silent.

[stonedstooge]

LIAR

[baitism]

Dirt kicked up....

[GloryDayz]

Gay!

[TLO]

*cough*

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice.

Vargas settling down after 2, just like in his last start

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice Aoki

[TLO]

lil sumthin cooking with 2 outs

[TLO]

Can someone explain why someone earlier in the thread referred to our back to back homers "rally killers"? I heard a little something on 610 today saying that too, (in a joking manner).

[C3HIEF3S]

Can someone explain why someone earlier in the thread referred to our back to back homers "rally killers"? I heard a little something on 610 today saying that too, (in a joking manner).

I was being sarcastic.

George Brett last season and Denny Matthews this year referred to home runs as rally killers.

[TLO]

I was being sarcastic.

George Brett last season and Denny Matthews this year referred to home runs as rally killers.

Yeah, I knew you were. I heard a little on 610 about it today, and wasn't sure what was going on.

I don't see how they would be rally killers, unless we were down like 5 and someone hit a solo homer or something?

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice grab

[PHOG]

Well, unfortunately, the Royals don't have to worry about that right now...cue Mr. Obvious

[C3HIEF3S]

Yeah, I knew you were. I heard a little on 610 about it today, and wasn't sure what was going on.

I don't see how they would be rally killers, unless we were down like 5 and someone hit a solo homer or something?

Yeah that's the whole deal. They say that if you're down like 5-1 or something and hit a 2 run home run, then you're still down 5-3. So it doesn't accomplish much (Denny said that).


Edit: I don't agree with this.

[TLO]

Yeah that's the whole deal. They say that if you're down like 5-1 or something and hit a 2 run home run, then you're still down 5-3. So it doesn't accomplish much (Denny said that).


Edit: I don't agree with this.

I usually agree with Denny's baseball takes, but that seems foolish of him to say.

[PHOG]

Hosmer, Butler, Gordon, Perez, and Moose....let's see

[stonedstooge]

C'mon Belly, you're due

[TLO]

Hosmer's swing is violent.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Nice to see Hosmer getting some good cuts in.

[TLO]

Whew!!!

Take advantage of this oppertunity.

[Toadkiller]

Fucking Belly.

[petegz28]

That's like the 3rd DP this season where Billay got lucky that the defense fucked it up

[Mr. Laz]

Butler's swing has a giant loop in it right now

ground ball to short or 3rd over and over again

[C3HIEF3S]

Must capitalize here, no excuses.

[TLO]

First and third with one out.

[C3HIEF3S]

I usually agree with Denny's baseball takes, but that seems foolish of him to say.

I think he takes more of a classic approach to the game. He likes the speed and doubles game.

[stonedstooge]

Belly's slide is like taking a big old scoop full of mashed taters and plopping them on your plate

[C3HIEF3S]

Must get a run in here.

[mr. tegu]

Unlucky there. Salvy needs to get this in.

[petegz28]

it's like we're trying to hit into a DP and Cleveland is trying not to let us

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Perez sucks again.

[TLO]

:facepalm:

Come on Moose.

[mr. tegu]

Moose!

[TLO]

MOOSETACOS!!!!!!

[stonedstooge]

MOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[C3HIEF3S]

Stay hot.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Nice job, Moustakas.

[Simplicity]

Moose starting to come around? :shrug:

[PHOG]

Moose

[C3HIEF3S]

Moose bails out Gordon and Perez.

[Toadkiller]

Fuck yeah! Moose really turned it around.

[mr. tegu]

Moose is making good contact on almost every ball he puts in play right now.

[Anyong Bluth]

Dudes just an idiot

How tough and stupid do you have to be not to put it on the bill or brim of your cap....

[TLO]

Well, at least we got 1.

Great job Moose.

[Anyong Bluth]

Moose es loose, ayy!

[stonedstooge]

I don't think 3 runs will be enough

[Anyong Bluth]

Yeah that's the whole deal. They say that if you're down like 5-1 or something and hit a 2 run home run, then you're still down 5-3. So it doesn't accomplish much (Denny said that).


Edit: I don't agree with this.

Clearly confusing Rally killer with LOB Killer

[PHOG]

Vargas at 85 ? That helped.

[stonedstooge]

Vargas at 85 ?

Over 20 in the 1st and 2nd

[C3HIEF3S]

Who wants to help me let a Moose out onto the field at The K?

[mr. tegu]

They should have a petting zoo in the outfield with a moose, an ostrich, and a sloth.

[mr. tegu]

Whew.

[C3HIEF3S]

Whew, thought that one was gone.

[Anyong Bluth]

They should have a petting zoo in the outfield with a moose, an ostrich, and a sloth.

Mike and Butler but who does the ostrich represent?

[kcjayhawks5]

Are you fucking kidding me

[stonedstooge]

Dyson you dummy

[-King-]

God dammit Dyson.

[mr. tegu]

Mike and Butler but who does the ostrich represent?

The ostrich is Hoch and the sloth is Gordon.

[C3HIEF3S]

Dyson..........

[GloryDayz]

Poop

[kcjayhawks5]

Wtf dyson

[TLO]

Oh Jesus. :facepalm:

[-King-]

FWIW... Perez's throws to 2nd haven't been that good this year.

[PHOG]

Mike and Butler but who does the ostrich represent?

Gordon? And that sucked.

[C3HIEF3S]

They gave the lead to us and we give them the run right back.

[mr. tegu]

Unbelievable.

[Reerun_KC]

LOL. Leave it to the Failoyals

[C3HIEF3S]

Gordon looks a lot like Sid the sloth from ice age

[Pablo]

Ugh. Multiples fuck ups there. Just not what we need.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

This team needs another outfielder. Cain does not exist and Dyson is horrendous.

[mr. tegu]

They give us a run on an error and we give it right back on our own error.

[PHOG]

Alright, make it up here!

[stonedstooge]

Get us that run back Dyson

[mr. tegu]

I hate to say it but I will not be shocked if Dyson gets himself thrown out here trying to do too much on the bases.

[PHOG]

That's what speed do.

[LoneWolf]

LOL. Leave it to the Failoyals

Are you fucking retarded or are you purposely this unfunny?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Gordon looks a lot like Sid the sloth from ice age

.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Are you ****ing retarded or are you purposely this unfunny?

That's what I was wondering. That is by far the worst attempt at an insulting team nickname I have ever seen.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I wonder if Billy could play center field.

[-King-]

Gordon looks a lot like Sid the sloth from ice age

http://i.imgur.com/4y2F3jV.jpg

[mr. tegu]

I wonder if Billy could play center field.

He would probably be decent at the Little K.

[TLO]

2 on with 1 out.

[stonedstooge]

Need a big hit here

[mr. tegu]

I am glad to see Masterson out here.

[PHOG]

Gordon looks a lot like Sid the sloth from ice age
Maybe the teeth and the hat, other than that, it's really reaching.

[C3HIEF3S]

I was trying to find that picture, thanks Thurman and King.

[TLO]

I hate commercials.

[TLO]

Red hot Hosmer.

[Toadkiller]

A 3 run lead would make me feel a bit more comfortable.

[TLO]

Yeah Hos is having trouble seeing the ball off this guy....

[SPchief]

Come on Hos

[PHOG]

Just make good contact...whew

[C3HIEF3S]

How the hell did he even make contact with that pitch?

[SPchief]

I don't think he got a piece of that

[TLO]

Shit

[Toadkiller]

Thank god Billy is up.

[kcjayhawks5]

That was ball 3 and 4...

[MeatRock]

I am still fuming over Dyson's bullshit. He fucking sucks.

[PHOG]

Time for the DH to earn his money! This is what he's here for.

[TLO]

No confidence.

Ground ball to 3rd or pop up coming.

[chiefsfan987]

Yeah Hos is having trouble seeing the ball off this guy....

Yep. If he wouldn't have even swung the bat in that plate appearance he would have been standing on first. Only two of those pitches were even remotely close to being strikes.

[Reerun_KC]

Butler FTW

[GloryDayz]

Blubber!

[kcjayhawks5]

Be clutch!

[TLO]

Derp

[chiefsfan987]

It's rather amazing how often we take the first pitch right down the middle and it's the best pitch in the entire sequence we're going to get.

[stonedstooge]

Oh Belly

[kcjayhawks5]

Not clutch :(

[MeatRock]

Fuck you Dyson you piece of shit fielder.

Throw the heat

Try our 15-20k fans. We rarely get 30k, just being honest.

True.
