**KC Yosts @ Chi White Sux 7/22**

[petegz28]

Maybe Butler can stay out of the DP tonight

[lewdog]

YES YES YES

We got this. Thanks for answering my wishes!

[lewdog]

Oh fuck. Who changed your name back?!

[petegz28]

Oh ****. Who changed your name back?!

It's called transcendence, Lew

[C3HIEF3S]

I'm there in my Yost player shirt

Go Yosts!

[MotherfuckerJones]

Abreu is out. Y'all got this. Congrats

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Lose again. Selling this season is best long term

[stonedstooge]

I'm there in my Yost player shirt

Go Yosts!

Where you sitting at so we can keep our eyes open for you?

[bsroyals54]

getting 2 singles is an accomplishment on this team, the only positive thing they have to talk about in the pregame is alex gordons 2 hit game

[GloryDayz]

OK, let's see if the player-only meeting gets us a win!

[Mr. Laz]

Dayton Moore talking about how players need to not put too much pressure on themselves again.

fuck you, these players don't seem to be trying hard enough imo

organization is one giant pussy

[GloryDayz]

Not to be cruel, but does Alex Gordon have a little crazy-eye in his left eye? It seems to drift away from where the right eye is looking...

[lewdog]

It's called transcendence, Lew

Seriously, did you complain about it to get it changed back?

[lewdog]

Not to be cruel, but does Alex Gordon have a little crazy-eye in his left eye? It seems to drift away from where the right eye is looking...

Yea it's always drifting to see his Ms. Missouri wife!

[petegz28]

OK, let's see if the player-only meeting gets us a win!

LMAO, yeah, right:

Cain: "Billay, can you please hit the ball in the air?"
Billay: "Hey man, it's the shifts. Why don' you quit swinging at pitches out of the zone?"
Gordon: "Why don't you, Billay?"
Hosmer: "I'm better than all ya'll so fuck off or I'll get you Seitzer'd"
Shields: "If you guys would stop making errors, maybe we'd win, Esky!"
Esky: "Fuck all of you pussies, I've started every fucking game this season, you soft bitches"
Yost: "We need a leader, God damn it!"
The rest of the team: "Aren't you supposed to be the fucking Manager, A.K.A. the Leader?"

[petegz28]

Seriously, did you complain about it to get it changed back?

I never said anything about anything

[stonedstooge]

LEADOFF DOUBLE. HERE WE GO

[Mr. Laz]

why didn't our speedster get to third?

[LoneWolf]

Pete has got the power. In Pete I trust.

[C3HIEF3S]

Where you sitting at so we can keep our eyes open for you?

Lower bowl midway between first and home
Blue hat and blue shirt
26 rows up

[stonedstooge]

TIME FOR ANOTHER MEETIN!

[GloryDayz]

Yea it's always drifting to see his Ms. Missouri wife!

Rep.... :D:D:D

[GloryDayz]

OK, let's see if the player-only meeting gets us a win!

I guess not...

[petegz28]

Can't even get the fastest guy in baseball over to 3rd base....just fucking wow

[lewdog]

I love this team!

[ChiTown]

How does Dyson......never mind it's the Royals

[petegz28]

So WTF is Cain off every other fucking game?

[stonedstooge]

NICE THROW BELLY

[petegz28]

Holy fuck, Butler, seriously?

[petegz28]

Shut the fuck up, Fever you fucking moron, a good throw nails him

[petegz28]

Not saying it was the wrong play but he had the play at 3rd

[lewdog]

MMMMMMMMMooooooooooooooooooooossssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[petegz28]

MOOSE!

[lewdog]

Damn, my jersey and autographed Moustakas balls might fetch $5 on ebay tonight!

[petegz28]

Billay: "Hey Moose, how do you deal with that shift?"

Moose: "Like that, bitch!"

[ChiefsCountry]

Moosebomb

[petegz28]

Hey, give Butler credit, he took a pitch before he grounded out

[C3HIEF3S]

YES MOOOOOOOOOOOSE
FUCKING YES BITCHES

[lewdog]

Just get even Adam Dunn consistent with contact and bat .220 with 25 homers Moose. That's all we ask for.

[stonedstooge]

Raul got out in front of that 80 miler

[petegz28]

Raul got out in front of that 80 miler

Almost as bad as Billay being behind on an 80 miler

[Hootie]

Just get even Adam Dunn consistent with contact and bat .220 with 25 homers Moose. That's all we ask for.

that's fine and all if he also walks as much as Adam Dunn. Dunn has an .OPS near .800 this year even with a .220 average.

[Hootie]

if he's Mark Reynolds instead of Adam Dunn he can go fuck himself

[LoneWolf]

Ibanez is fucking worthless. At least when Cain isn't hitting his defense can make up for it. Send Ibanez into retirement after the game.

[lewdog]

that's fine and all if he also walks as much as Adam Dunn. Dunn has an .OPS near .800 this year even with a .220 average.

Oh I definitely agree. It is really all we need him to do and would be fantastic if he had 25 hr power.

Is this really Hootie?

[Hootie]

Ibanez is ****ing worthless. At least when Cain isn't hitting his defense can make up for it. Send Ibanez into retirement after the game.

Agreed. Liked the no risk signing he was...maybe fresh scenery would've gotten him back to what he was doing last year...

but at this point, the dude is done. Nice career. But time to hang them up.

[Hootie]

Oh I definitely agree. It is really all we need him to do and would be fantastic if he had 25 hr power.

Is this really Hootie?

Yeah. Hiiii

[Hootie]

someone explain to me the thought process of hitting a pitcher 8th instead of 9th? Joe Madden, supposed mad genius, has Odorizzi batting 8th tonight against St. Louis.

[petegz28]

Seriously, why is Cain not in tonight?

[petegz28]

Lily I'd hit Lily

[lewdog]

someone explain to me the thought process of hitting a pitcher 8th instead of 9th? Joe Madden, supposed mad genius, has Odorizzi batting 8th tonight against St. Louis.

No idea.

Who's hitting behind him?

Oh and hai!

[LoneWolf]

someone explain to me the thought process of hitting a pitcher 8th instead of 9th? Joe Madden, supposed mad genius, has Odorizzi batting 8th tonight against St. Louis.

When you have a hitter as good as Odorizzi you want to get him as many at bats as possible? There's no chance of him being the last out of the third inning trying to stretch a single into a double. So he won't be tired when he comes out to pitch the top of the fourth.

[lewdog]

So you are just assuming you won't be getting anyone on base in the first two innings?

That's pretty dumb logic.

That is Tony LaRussa stuff right there.

[lewdog]

It's not at the point in the season where I want sarcasm. We need to right this ship and we need to take it serious.

[ChiefsCountry]

I'm fairly certain I had a class in college with Carroll.

[stonedstooge]

DOUBLE TROUBLE ALEX

[LoneWolf]

So you are just assuming you won't be getting anyone on base in the first two innings?

That's pretty dumb logic.

I was joking, but I did say third inning. The only way he could be the last out of the third inning batting 8th is if they had a lot of batters in innings 1 or 2, but yes if I was serious it would have been failed logic.

[tk13]

That was a poor decision by Ramirez. Should've gone to first all the way there.

[Mr. Laz]

we'll take that home run now instead Moose

[stonedstooge]

Going to get to see more of the Sux bullpen tonight

[TLO]

DA MOOOSE IS LOOOOOSE

[petegz28]

WTF did they hold Gordon for?

[stonedstooge]

BE A HERO BELLY

[petegz28]

Our 3rd base coach is an idiot

[GloryDayz]

Fucking fatty!

[TLO]

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO


FUCK YOU AT FUCKING COCKSUCKING FAT FUCKER

[lewdog]

Just fucking fat and worthless. I've got nothing left to say to defend him. Fucking terrible.

[penbrook]

Butler just sucks so much dick

[stonedstooge]

Is Belly just swinging at the first pitch to get it over with?

[petegz28]

1 pitch, Billay? Seriously?? Bases loaded, 1 out and you swing at the first god damn pitch!!!!

Called that one.

What a worthless POS.

[PHOG]

He sucks teh fucking big one. :cuss:

[petegz28]

That's why our 3rd base coach is a fucking moron...last night he sends Valencia with 2 outs who had no chance of scoring...tonight he holds Gordon who would have made it easy and leaves it up to Butler as if Billy won't hit into a DP

[Three7s]

Freaking Butler needs to get gone.

[Why Not?]

The funniest part is there are actually posters on this board that think other MLB teams would trade for Billy Fuckler

[petegz28]

Fuck you, Dayton Moore. Can Valencia play 1st base?

[Bambi]

Billy, just go

[Hootie]

I'm not even being irrational. There is literally no reason for Billy to be on this team. None. He needs to be DFA.

[Sure-Oz]

Butler is toast

[Three7s]

That's why our 3rd base coach is a ****ing moron...last night he sends Valencia with 2 outs who had no chance of scoring...tonight he holds Gordon who would have made it easy and leaves it up to Butler as if Billy won't hit into a DP
He probably figured that Moose hit it too hard and right at the guy. Probably should've done it anyway considering the failure that was coming up.

[Sure-Oz]

This is pretty sad...actually. 2012 seems so damn long ago

[petegz28]

Butler tonight, 3 pitches, 2 swings, 3 outs, 3 runners stranded, 2 RISP stranded

[Mr. Laz]

Clutch!!!!!!!

[Hootie]

**** you, Dayton Moore. Can Valencia play 1st base?

the A's literally will play anyone at 1B

Doesn't matter if they know how to or not. It's first fucking base. Catch the fucking ball. They filter anyone who can hit through that position.

[stonedstooge]

Ned should have let Chen bat and had Ibanez DH for Butler

[lewdog]

Butler tonight, 3 pitches, 2 swings, 3 outs, 3 runners stranded, 2 RISP stranded

something similar last night too right? Two first pitch outs that I remember.

[Three7s]

Butler tonight, 3 pitches, 2 swings, 3 outs, 3 runners stranded, 2 RISP stranded
Personally, the way Butler is playing, I think he wants out. It's just not going public.

[petegz28]

Until Hosmer comes back, put Cain back in the lineup, move Gordon to 1st base, get Billay off the team

[cmh6476]

I feel sorry for kids that don't have guys like Kevin Seitzer, George Brett or Dan Quisenberry to idolize :(

[Manila-Chief]

Yep ... as a person I like what I read about Double-play Billy ... but, he ought to be cut during the middle of this game. Bases loaded and double play. That's the Royal way.

[Hootie]

Ned should have let Chen bat and had Ibanez DH for Butler

you know...

if they want to do that tomorrow as one last fuck you to Billy Butler before the DFA him...I'm all for it!

[Hootie]

Until Hosmer comes back, put Cain back in the lineup, move Gordon to 1st base, get Billay off the team

well that certainly doesn't make any sense

but you can put that backup catcher Hayes over at 1B

[Three7s]

Yep ... as a person I like what I read about Double-play Billy ... but, he ought to be cut during the middle of this game. Bases loaded and double play. That's the Royal way.
The guy hits more ground balls than any DH I've ever seen. I've watched a lot of baseball my friend. He's awful.

[petegz28]

The question is when will Yost grow a pair and bench Butler? This is one reason I don't like Yost, he is weak and\or stupid. Butler has no business in the lineup at all....none

[Nzoner]

I said I wasn't going to watch tonight but no just had to ****in' see Butler **** up yet again. :facepalm:

[petegz28]

well that certainly doesn't make any sense

but you can put that backup catcher Hayes over at 1B

Gordon has played 1st base before

[Why Not?]

Yep ... as a person I like what I read about Double-play Billy ... but, he ought to be cut during the middle of this game. Bases loaded and double play. That's the Royal way.

He's actually so shitty it is trumping his good person quality. **** him. I want to be friends with good people. I want to watch good ball players. Maybe this team needs some dicks

[Three7s]

The question is when will Yost grow a pair and bench Butler? This is one reason I don't like Yost, he is weak and\or stupid. Butler has no business in the lineup at all....none
I've been calling for it for weeks. I appreciate Yost moving him down in the lineup, but that's not cutting it anymore.

[stonedstooge]

The question is when will Yost grow a pair and bench Butler? This is one reason I don't like Yost, he is weak and\or stupid. Butler has no business in the lineup at all....none

BBBBut Belly hits lots of home runs in batting practice!/LeadHead Ned

[lewdog]

The question is when will Yost grow a pair and bench Butler? This is one reason I don't like Yost, he is weak and\or stupid. Butler has no business in the lineup at all....none

I almost have to wonder if Dayton is forcing his hand on playing him to showcase him or just saying he can't bench him and have him as a cancer in the locker room?

[petegz28]

The worst part of the last DP by Billy was the fact he swung at the first pitch with bases loaded an d1 out and didn't even get it in the air.

Fever, no one is preparing harder for the Royals, you idiot.......the Royals get themselves out more than any other team in baseball

[lewdog]

And here come the excuses from the booth. No fuck you....we can't always say well next year!

[petegz28]

I almost have to wonder if Dayton is forcing his hand on playing him to showcase him or just saying he can't bench him and have him as a cancer in the locker room?

I think that's a fair point given Butler's history of being a whiney, bitch. I remember Guillen calling him a baby

[MotherfuckerJones]

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 4m
Jose Abreu has the same amount of homers (29) as Billy Butler, Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez have combined. #WhiteSox

[petegz28]

And here come the excuses from the booth. No **** you....we can't always say well next year!

Fever is the biggest fucking idiot and I cannot stand him anymore. I'd much rather listen to sorry as Physioc. I don't think it's a coincidence that Fever has done all the TV games since the AS break and we are 0-4

[blake1771]

Personally, the way Butler is playing, I think he wants out. It's just not going public.

oh i'm sure he does. sadly for him he's going to take about a 80% pay cut to do it.

also i have heard tons of reports that billy is not the nice "country breakfast" guy he is portrayed as. Heard he's a dick and acts like a spoiled brat in the club house. more worried about his individual performance than the team's.

[LoneWolf]

Gordon has played 1st base before

You don't take a gold glove left fielder who is at the top of the league in outfield assists out of his position to play first base. I agree that Billy needs to go be a fry cook somewhere, but there are better ways to accomplish that.

[Hootie]

Gordon has played 1st base before

way too good at LF to take him away from that position.

his ability at LF has literally put his overall WAR at Mike Trout level

[Three7s]

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 4m
Jose Abreu has the same amount of homers (29) as Billy Butler, Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez have combined. #WhiteSox
Yes, we know.

This isn't new information.

[petegz28]

I'm was saying just for the rest of the game tonight.

[lewdog]

Fever is the biggest ****ing idiot and I cannot stand him anymore. I'd much rather listen to sorry as Physioc. I don't think it's a coincidence that Fever has done all the TV games since the AS break and we are 0-4

I've always hated Fever. He is arrogant and makes more excuses for this team. Hud is the only one who will throw out a few jabs about bad play or this team not achieving.

[Hootie]

I mean, there is nothing to debate anymore. Nothing at all.

Billy needs to be DFA'd. Play with 24 fucking guys. It doesn't matter. Billy needs booted.

[petegz28]

So here comes the classic situation where we fail at multiple levels to add additional runs and the other team comes back to tie and\or take the lead

[penbrook]

Butler needs to be released now

[Hootie]

better hope we get this guy out because Viciedo absolutely hammers lefties

[MotherfuckerJones]

Yes, we know.

This isn't new information.

It's just mind blowing I can't believe it

[Three7s]

I mean, there is nothing to debate anymore. Nothing at all.

Billy needs to be DFA'd. Play with 24 ****ing guys. It doesn't matter. Billy needs booted.
I'd love it if they did, but I'd be shocked if they had the guts to make that move. I might even have hope for this regime.....

[lewdog]

Oh for shit.

[Hootie]

It's just mind blowing I can't believe it

that's mind blowing? I think the four guys you mentioned above maybe combined for 60 total HR's this year. Abreu would be on that pace pretty easily had he not been on the DL earlier this year.

so uh

yeah, not mind blowing

[Three7s]

It's just mind blowing I can't believe it
Eh, not really. When the season began, the Royals over a week without a homer. They won't even get close to 100 at the rate they're going, which is horrendous.

[Hootie]

I've always hated Fever. He is arrogant and makes more excuses for this team. Hud is the only one who will throw out a few jabs about bad play or this team not achieving.

they are Royals employees

I remember one time Steve Stone and Chip Caray started just unleashing on the Cubs organization...from the players to the management.

Care to guess how many more games those two ever called for the Cubs?

[lewdog]

You don't have to be negative but you also don't have to paint a pretty picture. And him saying tonight that it was likely we'd digress this year but be good next year is a definite shot to the fanbase and makes no sense.

[Three7s]

The announcers for the team we're facing are well known to bash their team during the game for poor performance. I wouldn't mind it if it's warranted. I think fans need to know when bad play is unacceptable and when bad roster decisions are the reason for much of it.

[petegz28]

Sit your ass down, Ned...he was shot

[Al Bundy]

Ibanez....

[GloryDayz]

Nice...

[Al Bundy]

You're old and slow, ALWAYS stay at first.

[Hootie]

I bet you Fever and Hud do a lot more 'cover the mic' Major League style than you guys might think...but this is what happens when you "call them how you see them."

This mentality was exampled a number of ways, which we'll get into more later. From Dusty getting stand-offish with the press and umpires to LaTroy Hawkins playing the race card, the clubhouse did not appear to be a very friendly place. But the biggest target of players' ire seemed to be turned not to the racist fans, or insipid media, but instead to Chip and Steve who apparently had the audacity of calling them out on their ire and worse, their poor play.

Due to his distaste of them -- in particular Chip -- Moises Alou tried to get them kicked off the team flights. Kent Mercker called up to the booth from the clubhouse when listening to Stone's call-it-as-I-see-it commentary style. There were threats, and challenges of fights, and it all came to a head after a tough loss late in the season in which, during a post-game interview, Steve Stone rightfully called out Dusty Baker for his managerial bunglings, resulting in a Steve Stone quote that remains to this day one of Byron's favorites: "At the end of the day, boys, you don't tell me how rough the water is, you bring in the ship." Dusty was pissed, Steve was pissed, and the higher-ups got pissed.

Consequently, as happens sometimes in life, the bad guys won. Steve and Chip resigned/got fired/whatever you want to call it. Kent Mercker left for Atlanta. Moises Alou left for New York. Jim Hendry had attempted a great douche, failing to recognize that the true inner rot -- Dusty Baker -- remained. And so, with great fanfare, and some regret, and a lot of anger, the Cubs voice of my generation left for good, looking a lot less shiny than he was after his previous departure. Steve had shown himself in his second go-round to be an angry man, bitter at the team, and excessively defensive of Chip Caray. Steve seemed to take it personally when the fans and team turned on Chip, and toward the bitter end he expressed his affection for Caray on national television, saying "I love you, Chip" in front of the world, creeping out many of us and explaining a lot about his actions. Stone had always gotten attached to his broadcast partners, particularly the ones near his age. He'd taken it equally as hard when Thom Brennaman left after the '95 season, which perhaps shows us a lot about how isolated he must have felt when dealing with Harry Caray.

[stonedstooge]

What a long ass 1 run game so far.

[petegz28]

You're old and slow, ALWAYS stay at first.

Not sure if Kuntz sent him or what

[ChiTown]

Thanks, Bin Laden!

[Three7s]

Not sure if Kuntz sent him or what
He didn't. Ibanez had the play in front of him and made the decision. It wasn't a bad gamble, really. The RF made a heck of a play to cut off the ball and make a perfect throw.

[stonedstooge]

WELP, 1 run ain't gonna do it Royals

[Pepe Silvia]

You guys don't deserve this. They've put you through so much shit and you've stuck by them and they just continue to shit on you. Not joking I'm pretty furious about your guys ownership and I'm not even a fan. Your owner is a disgrace.

[petegz28]

There you go.....tie game...

We are now tied because our 3rd base coach is an idiot and Butler needs to be coaching little league BBQ cooking teams

[ChiTown]

Not an awful pitch to Dunn, but not enough movement to get out of the zone

[Why Not?]

WELP, 1 run ain't gonna do it Royals

Then there's no chance. This bunch of pussies can't score more than 1

[Three7s]

Then there's no chance. This bunch of pussies can't score more than 1
Maybe if we string together 4 straight bunt singles, we can get one in.

[Hootie]

if we can't score more than 1 fucking run off of Scott Carroll than...lmao

[Three7s]

if we can't score more than 1 ****ing run off of Scott Carroll than...lmao
Don't hold your breath on that one.

I'm still in awe of the no-name pitcher that started against Shields and the Royals ended up getting blown out. I think it was against the Indians.

[blake1771]

just as an FYI to those saying to DFA billy, the Royals can't without Billy's permission. If you have more than 5 years of MLB service time the player must consent to it.

[petegz28]

Then there's no chance. This bunch of pussies can't score more than 1

8 runs in 40 innings since the AS break...

[TLO]

What kind of angle was that Aoki?? LMAO

[petegz28]

Fever, STFU, that ball was never going to slice foul.

Seriously what fucking game is this guy watching?

[Three7s]

just as an FYI to those saying to DFA billy, the Royals can't without Billy's permission. If you have more than 5 years of MLB service time the player must consent to it.
Then bench him until he does leave.

[petegz28]

Great play, Moose

[petegz28]

What kind of angle was that Aoki?? LMAO

And remember, because Aoki was already on the team when the price on Nelson Cruz came down, we didn't want Cruz.

[petegz28]

Then bench him until he does leave.

This x 5000

[lewdog]

And remember, because Aoki was already on the team when the price on Nelson Cruz came down, we didn't want Cruz.
TOO MUCH POWER!

[penbrook]

Fuck put Valencia as DH or Dyson but bench Butlers sorry ass

[Three7s]

And remember, because Aoki was already on the team when the price on Nelson Cruz came down, we didn't want Cruz.
I still recall getting told by CP that Aoki was a good defensive outfielder.

[Hootie]

just as an FYI to those saying to DFA billy, the Royals can't without Billy's permission. If you have more than 5 years of MLB service time the player must consent to it.

He obviously won't agree to the assignment, making him a free agent. But we can DFA anyone we fucking want.

[petegz28]

wow, replay, please

[petegz28]

He was safe

[Hootie]

well Cruz has put egg on the face of 31 other MLB teams, as well

and next year he's going to get 5/125 so uh, yeah...he's a genius

[MotherfuckerJones]

Looked safe from first glance. Wow nice play by Beckham though

[Hootie]

well Aoki was legitimately a good player with Milwaukee...who knows what happened

[ChiTown]

Inconclusive in my opinion

[petegz28]

Looked safe from first glance. Wow nice play by Beckham though

It was a great play but he was safe

[lewdog]

well Cruz has put egg on the face of 31 other MLB teams, as well

and next year he's going to get 5/125 so uh, yeah...he's a genius

I wonder if Billy knows he's also in a contract year?

[petegz28]

Inconclusive in my opinion

Foot was on the bag when the ball hit the glove....

[petegz28]

Bullshit

[MotherfuckerJones]

Out! Too close to prove he was safe

[lewdog]

WTF!?

[ChiTown]

As I said, inconclusive

[Hootie]

I wonder if Billy knows he's also in a contract year?

he probably gets really emotional about it...which causes him to eat more

he not only cost himself 12.5M next year...

he probably cost himself another 60M or so with his play this year

I mean, he'll get lucky to get a 2 year deal worth more than 4 a year at this point...and that's if someone thinks he just had a down year

[lewdog]

he probably gets really emotional about it...which causes him to eat more

Someone will take it but he's got no leverage for negotiation. Almost comical how poorly he's played in a contract year. Definitely speaks to him not working hard.

[Hootie]

I've learned this year with replays it has to be even more than inconclusive...I'm watching the Rockies/Nats game and Harper was clearly safe at 3rd doing something retarded (but that's not the point) and they still upheld the call on the field...and they literally showed a freeze frame of his hand clearly on the base before Arenado tagged him. I don't get it, either...because I've been wrong about a dozen times on replays this year.

[Three7s]

he probably gets really emotional about it...which causes him to eat more

I mean, he'll get lucky to get a 2 year deal worth more than 4 a year at this point...and that's if someone thinks he just had a down year
I think he'll get a 1 year/$3M deal. Honestly, he doesn't even deserve that. He's a slap-hitting DH.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Butler truly is ****ing worthless. At least Dunn hits HRs and takes BBs.

[MeatRock]

Getting owned by Scott ****ing Carroll. :#

[ChiefsCountry]

Dyson looked out in real time IMO. Nice hit by Gordo.

[Blankey]

We are the master of the two out single

[Hootie]

I mean, I realize everyone already knows this...but no one is making it up when they say, "Billy Butler is having the worst season for a full time DH in the history of Designated Hitters."

I mean, thus far it's pure fact. And it's so sad it's hilarious.

[stonedstooge]

We are the master of the two out single

Care to amend that?

[ChiTown]

Come on, 2-out rally hit by Moose. DO IT!

[lewdog]

Singles with two outs. A Royal specialty.

[ChiefsCountry]

Getting owned by Scott ****ing Carroll. :#

You do realize that Carroll's last two starts he allowed zero runs and only 3 hits.

[Hootie]

You do realize that Carroll's last two starts he allowed zero runs and only 3 hits.

Vegas set the O/U at 9 tonight with Chen as the favorite. If Vegas doesn't believe in Carroll, I don't believe in Carroll.

[MeatRock]

You do realize that Carroll's last two starts he allowed zero runs and only 3 hits.

He is still an average pitcher.

[MotherfuckerJones]

He gawn

[stonedstooge]

7 stranded through 5

[Three7s]

7 stranded through 5
Par for the course.

[ChiTown]

He's safe

[penbrook]

He's safe

[petegz28]

terrible tag by Escobar

[MotherfuckerJones]

Alexei been working on that slide. Made it closer than it should've been

[MotherfuckerJones]

Safe!

[ChiTown]

What a fucking brain fart by Esky. AWFUL!

[MeatRock]

Lazy fucking tag by Escobar.

[penbrook]

Correct call

[ChiefsCountry]

Esky's defense has been subpar for him since the All-Star break.

[petegz28]

Could be yet another costly Escobar fuck up. I don't know what the guy's gig has been as of late?

[lewdog]

This game is taking FOREVER

[MotherfuckerJones]

Damn lucky break for kc

[petegz28]

Well, Esky make sup for it there, I guess

[stonedstooge]

Esky's defense has been subpar for him since the All-Star break.

HAHA ESKY. THANKS FOR THE REVERSE JINX

[ChiefsCountry]

That will work.

[blake1771]

would be nice if Esky could ever get a day off. i have to think that might be part of why his play has appeared to suffer lately. of course we'd have to have a back up middle infielder on the roster; which we don't.

[Hootie]

why does Esky need a day off? Fuck that. I don't get the pussification of baseball where these guys think they need a day off. Cal Ripken, Jr. didn't take a day off for 20 fucking years

[TLO]

Fat man !

[tk13]

Billy with an extra base hit.

[ChiefsCountry]

Billay!

[lewdog]

At least Billy goes without the gay hand signs.

[MeatRock]

Well whaddya know. Billy hits one to the warning track.

[GloryDayz]

Fatty with a 2-bagger...

[petegz28]

Fuck you, Butler ...of course you get a double instead of a HR and when no one is on....you choking fuck

[TLO]

OLD MAN POWER!

[tk13]

And Ibanez delivers. This offense is on fire!

[lewdog]

Oh hellz yea!!!!!!!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

There we go boys. Start hitting doubles.

[stonedstooge]

BOOM

[GloryDayz]

Oldie with a great hit, fatty scores!

[lewdog]

Sweetest swing if I've ever seen one. Just beautiful.

[Anyong Bluth]

Track power, HO!

[lewdog]

There we go boys. Start hitting doubles.

No more for July. Quota filled.

[petegz28]

LMAO, WTf would you even throw that?

[MeatRock]

Perfect bunt. Just perfect.

[TLO]

BLACK MAN WITH SPEED

[stonedstooge]

HERE WE COME

[Ceej]

Belly increasing his already tremendous trade value.

[Hootie]

**** you, Butler ...of course you get a double instead of a HR and when no one is on....you choking ****

wtfffff

[petegz28]

Fuck it, bunt again with Aoki

[lewdog]

wtfffff

Pete just went full Robin.

[ChiefsCountry]

wtfffff

Its pete, just ignore it.

[petegz28]

wtfffff

You heard me. He chokes with runners on

[lewdog]

ESKY jams finger. There's your day off.

:facepalm:

[penbrook]

He's out

[petegz28]

Pete just went full Robin.

Big fucking whoop.....once in 27 games Butler gets a double...print the playoff tickets already

[Hootie]

ESKY jams finger. There's your day off.

:facepalm:

it's ok, we can just put Gordon at SS

[petegz28]

He's out

No

[MotherfuckerJones]

Well this ones over

[lewdog]

it's ok, we can just put Gordon at SS

Robin 2.0?

[petegz28]

it's ok, we can just put Gordon at SS

Probably just as good as anyone else....we have no backup SS or 2nd baseman on the 25 man. Valencia sucks at 2nd

[tk13]

You heard me. He chokes with runners on

He actually has a higher batting average and OPS with runners on base than with the bases empty. Not that he's been a world beater at either this season.

[LoneWolf]

it's ok, we can just put Gordon at SS

He played there in little league.

[lewdog]

He actually has a higher batting average and OPS with runners on base than with the bases empty.

Jesus Christ, get your fucking stats out of here!

[petegz28]

He actually has a higher batting average and OPS with runners on base than with the bases empty. Not that he's been a world beater at either this season.

CHOKE

[ChiefsCountry]

Well this ones over

No no Mr. White Sux fan you can't steal a Royals thread copyright line.

[MeatRock]

He played there in little league.

LMAO

[TLO]

:hail: King Slapdick Aoki! :hail:

We are not worthy! :hail:

3-1 Royals!

[petegz28]

HA HA....White Sux going Yost

[Al Bundy]

Well this ones over

I'm sorry, but we have that copyrighted.

[stonedstooge]

THANKS FOR THE HELP. w00t 3-1

[MeatRock]

WTF just happened? WOW

[Hootie]

I guess the only thing I hope for when the Royals win at this point is to make sure we keep it within 3 so I can see Davis and Holland.

[ChiefsCountry]

Moose played short in the minors.
