*** Official Royal Jack Shits vs Bowel Moving A'ssholes GDT 08/02/14 ***

[ROYC75]

We got a much needed win from an excellent start out of Guthrie last night. Today Vargas comes back from the D/L to make a start against a real pain in the ass Royal killer( Lester ) .

It's a tall order, but it's baseball, so let's go get them again.:Royals:

Worth noting
• Hitters No. 2 through No. 6 for the Royal JackShits finished 0-for-16 with six strikeouts on Friday.

This shit isn't going to cut it for a win very often!

[Bruiser]

A's - 8
Royals - 2

Hope I'm wrong.

[chief4life]

Lets do this! Why Aoki though? I would of started Dyson against Lester :spock: Butler is back to the cleanup spot.

[gblowfish]

This thread needs an enema, and the game hasn't even started yet!

[ROYC75]

A's - 8
Royals - 2

Hope I'm wrong.

Me too, I will be watching so if you believe in mojo, so be it.

Personally I do not.

[ROYC75]

This thread needs an enema, and the game hasn't even started yet!

No shit, hope the game isn't in need of one.

[Why Not?]

A's - 8
Royals - 2

Hope I'm wrong.

You are wrong. 9-1 A's. Lester pushes our shit in as usual

[Bowser]

A's - 8
Royals - 2

Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, it has that feel, doesn't it? I don't think Oakland is real pleased about getting shut out and squeezed at the plate last night and they will be looking for a bit of payback today, especially with Vargas coming off the DL....

[gblowfish]

So is Oakland having Kansas City Royals appreciation night? You know, kind of a quid pro quo for when we kiss their asses when they come to the K on August 13th?

No?

Big surprise....

[KCrockaholic]

Kratz. Is the back up catcher worth a shit?

[Halfcan]

Worth noting
• Hitters No. 2 through No. 6 for the Royal JackShits finished 0-for-16 with six strikeouts on Friday.

The Jack Shits should be able to match this against Lester the Royal Molester. I smell a no hitter brewing.

[cmh6476]

In and stuff

[ROYC75]

Somehow if we win and I start the thread tomorrow, it will be vs Triple A ( Anonymous Athletic A'ssholes) .

[Halfcan]

Somehow if we win and I start the thread tomorrow, it will be vs Triple A ( Anonymous Athletic A'ssholes) .

It has a nice ring to it- I would go with that. ROFL

[Anyong Bluth]

Time to drop a deuce on Oakland today and shit on Lester's trade debut!

[New World Order]

I predict another win for the Royals.

[ROYC75]

Hot damn, hold the fort down guys, In have to go PU the grand son.

10 mile away, freaking miss 30 MTS of the game!:mad:

[BlackHelicopters]

In

[ROYC75]

Hot damn, hold the fort down guys, In have to go PU the grand son.

10 mile away, freaking miss 30 MTS of the game!:mad:

Never mind, daughter just showed up to do it.

[C3HIEF3S]

Eric Kratz the difference maker!!

[BlackHelicopters]

Worthless Aoki

[penbrook]

Worthless Aoki

Why does Dyson not start everyday

[ROYC75]

Can of corn!

[BlackHelicopters]

Salvy!

[ROYC75]

Why does Dyson not start everyday

If I were HC, I would.

Nice hit Sail.

[Unsmooth-Moment]

No no hitter

[BlackHelicopters]

Nothing doing

[C3HIEF3S]

Really hope Vargas is back to 100%

[ROYC75]

To easy, Lester didn't have to work at all.

[BlackHelicopters]

Time to see how Vargas recovered

[C3HIEF3S]

Just keep us in the game today, Vargas

[ROYC75]

Lil Fugger tried!

[Blankey]

Man that crowd sounds annoying

[Captain Obvious]

An 8 pitch first inning?

[CoMoChief]

Man that crowd sounds annoying

well they are raiders fans so.....

[ROYC75]

Ha Ha, that's 2!

[bsroyals54]

An 8 pitch first inning?

Yes we're taking the expert approach of swinging first pitch and popping up, its working well.

[C3HIEF3S]

Great start for Vargas

[BlackHelicopters]

Vargas looks good

[C3HIEF3S]

well they are raiders fans so.....

The fan they interviewed yesterday in RF said they were split between 49ers fans and Raiders fans, the guy was personally a 9er fan himself.

Fairweather motherfuckers

[BlackHelicopters]

Kratz has some pop

[ROYC75]

Great start for Vargas

Yup!:-)

[ROYC75]

Come on Alex, park one!

[suzzer99]

Ibanez needs to take us on his back again.

[C3HIEF3S]

Already better than Hayes

[BlackHelicopters]

Kratz is a monster

[ROYC75]

That will work!

What's up with the horns, sound like a bunch of cows in a field.

[Toadkiller]

Imagine if Belly had that build.

[bsroyals54]

Theres the first pitch popup, well executed

[C3HIEF3S]

You know, the place used to actually have a nice view beyond the outfield

Now, not so much

[BlackHelicopters]

Mouse with the pop up. Shocking.

[PHOG]

[ROYC75]

B ... Felix Jose

[C3HIEF3S]

What a pitch, holy shit Vargas.

[ROYC75]

YES!

K

[BlackHelicopters]

Nice pitch

[BlackHelicopters]

Nice pitch again

[C3HIEF3S]

Dominant

[BlackHelicopters]

Great inning

[PHOG]

Damn nice Vargas!

[ROYC75]

WOW VARGUS!

[BlackHelicopters]

Let's get Vargas some runs!

[chefsos]

RE: Gomes. Isn't a ratty Boston beard supposed to be different from a nasty Oakland beard?

Oh, look at Vargas settin everyone down there.

[petegz28]

WTF are you not sending him, Yost?

[ROYC75]

Cool!

[BlackHelicopters]

That'll work

[BlackHelicopters]

Good work

[ROYC75]

That works well !

Now need a nice hit!

[BlackHelicopters]

Productive outs

[ROYC75]

1-0 KC

Nice AB Sal

[BlackHelicopters]

C'mon Belly

[bsroyals54]

GOod job Belly you mother fucking no talent shithead

[BlackHelicopters]

Butler has seen two pitches

[Anyong Bluth]

It's a start

[Don Corlemahomes]

GOod job Belly you mother ****ing no talent shithead

It's a baseball game, dude. Christ.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice manufactured run there

[Don Corlemahomes]

It's a start

anustart?

[bsroyals54]

It's a baseball game, dude. Christ.

Oh Ok my bad, Good job billy! Do it again! Just like last time, those 2 at-bats were nothing short of a miracle! Your talent will never be reached in the history of baseball. God seeing 2 pitches in 2 outs, with a runner on 3rd. I wish I could do that.

[BWillie]

Mouse with the pop up. Shocking.

He's actually been grounding into alot of outs lately. Progress / Dayton

[C3HIEF3S]

4 straight K's

[C3HIEF3S]

Gold glove play there

[bsroyals54]

4 straight K's

Jason Vargas :)

[chefsos]

The head first slide into 1B is always stupid.

[BlackHelicopters]

Vargas perfect so far

[tboss27]

Unbelievable how good Vargas has been this year. Hope he keeps this up today.

[BWillie]

MAYBE BRUCE CHEN SHOULD GET HIS APPENDIX OUT

[KCwolf]

Esky play was MONEY ...

[AustinChief]

The head first slide into 1B is always stupid.

Sliding at first is always a mistake. Who the fuck coaches that? Or are guys like Reddick just morons?

[bsroyals54]

Unbelievable how good Vargas has been this year. Hope he keeps this up today.

Don't get too excited about Vargas, some people around here take offense to that.

[KCwolf]

MAYBE BRUCE CHEN SHOULD GET HIS APPENDIX OUT

NICE.....

[KCCHIEFS27]

What a start for Vargas, much like Guthrie last night. Now, let's hope he doesn't throw a 25+ pitch inning like Guthrie did last night his second time through the lineup.

[KCCHIEFS27]

MAYBE BRUCE CHEN SHOULD GET HIS APPENDIX OUT

Bruce Chen also needs new ligaments and tendons in his arm..preferably from someone like Clayton Kershaw.

[BlackHelicopters]

MAYBE BRUCE CHEN SHOULD GET HIS APPENDIX OUT

Heh

[C3HIEF3S]

Woot

[bsroyals54]

Hahahha he shields himself from the ball like a girl!

[chefsos]

Sliding at first is always a mistake. Who the fuck coaches that? Or are guys like Reddick just morons?I can't believe anyone coaches it. The Reddick/Moron Theory has legs though.

[ROYC75]

Nice to see Alex is by the SUN!

[BlackHelicopters]

Rex slurping Kratz cum

[ROYC75]

Nice!

[bsroyals54]

Rex slurping Kratz cum

He does that for just about anyone in a royal uniform

[chefsos]

Wow. Donaldson catches everything against us...

[penbrook]

Wow what a throw

[KCrockaholic]

DAAMMMMMMN That was a sweet play.

[petegz28]

He never tagged him

[bsroyals54]

He looked out all the way, why is this a challenge

[petegz28]

He looked out all the way, why is this a challenge

Cause he never got the tag on him

[penbrook]

He's out

[bsroyals54]

Cause he never got the tag on him

Oh really. Ok I get it now. I must be blind.

[petegz28]

Good tag.....was close

[chefsos]

"Did you, or did you not, touch the baserunner on the ass?"

[jimidollar]

Is this what they mean by Be Royal?

[BlackHelicopters]

Shit

[ROYC75]

Damn, just not deep enough!

[BlackHelicopters]

He was out

[Captain Obvious]

There needs to be clubhouse fines for anyone getting a one-pitch out. This shit is getting ridiculous.

[KCCHIEFS27]

What's the rule on blocking the plate again? Because the catcher's left foot was on the line before the ball was in his glove..isn't that "technically" against the rules?

[bsroyals54]

The center fielder couldn't have made it any more dramatic, falling down on the throw.

[BlackHelicopters]

That run would have been nice

[C3HIEF3S]

Derp 1 pitch outs

[KCrockaholic]

Quick innings for Vargas is key

[Don Corlemahomes]

Oh Ok my bad, Good job billy! Do it again! Just like last time, those 2 at-bats were nothing short of a miracle! Your talent will never be reached in the history of baseball. God seeing 2 pitches in 2 outs, with a runner on 3rd. I wish I could do that.

Oh look, a primal mind splitting things into a simple dichotomy!

[petegz28]

Dude was blocking the plate though and should have been called on that

[Don Corlemahomes]

Cause he never got the tag on him

Good tag.....was close

How could you not see that incredibly close play??? Jeez man.

[C3HIEF3S]

Dude was blocking the plate though and should have been called on that

Throw carried him into the baseline

[Anyong Bluth]

What's the rule on blocking the plate again? Because the catcher's left foot was on the line before the ball was in his glove..isn't that "technically" against the rules?

Exactly, I knew he was out live, but Alex definitely had to go around him to get to home. Seems like he definitely impedes his basepath prior to getting the ball.

On the last replay Gordo definitely has to go around him. That should be a run or just get rid of the stupid new rule.

[bsroyals54]

Oh look, a primal mind splitting things into a simple dichotomy!

Aren't you the one who said, "It's just a baseball game, Dude?" By that logic, I could say. It's just a job. It's just a car. It's just a physical. It's just a surgery. You're not going to die. You take away any argument and are just left with the end result. Nice primal mind?

[BlackHelicopters]

Vargas still perfect

[tboss27]

Dude was blocking the plate though and should have been called on that

I'm not sure that has been called more than 3-4 times this entire year. Reds got an out at home plate reversed on them this week and everyone went crazy after the game, saying it was a joke and I think MLB came out and said the overturned call was a mistake. It's a joke of a rule, essentialy the runner has no options anymore but to run two steps outside the base line and hope he doesn't get tagged. If it were last year Gordon runs him over and he's safe.

[ROYC75]

HOLY COW!

Vargus is on fire!

[KCCHIEFS27]

Throw carried him into the baseline

Rule 7.13 if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable.

Norris could have caught it without blocking the line...technicality, but it's a rule.

[Anyong Bluth]

Vargie

[KCwolf]

HELLO VARGIE

[C3HIEF3S]

I like the rule for one simple reason, Salvador Perez. The last thing we need as Royals fans is to have Perez get blindsided at the plate.

[KCCHIEFS27]

Vargas staying smooth on the mound though..looking very good!

[Anyong Bluth]

Rule 7.13 if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in order to field a throw, and the umpire determines that the catcher could not have fielded the ball without blocking the pathway of the runner and that contact with the runner was unavoidable.

Norris could have caught it without blocking the line...technicality, but it's a rule.

Reading the rule by the letter, then, yep, that should have been a run scored. He could have setup in front of the baseline or whatever else - too bad if it means you can't make a tag on him. That's the rules now!

[stonedstooge]

Hello ladies. WAY TO PITCH VARGAS

[chefsos]

I'm beginning to notice that the A's whine about strike calls an awful lot.

[C3HIEF3S]

A lot of gray area in the rule, though... as we can see.

[C3HIEF3S]

I'm beginning to notice that the A's whine about strike calls an awful lot.

But they get on base :)

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I like Vargas more than Chen.

[Anyong Bluth]

I'm beginning to notice that the A's whine about strike calls an awful lot.

I said the same thing yesterday. A bit annoying.

[BWillie]

If we win two straight games, 1 to 0, against the best team in baseball, and the best team in close late inning games. I'm just going to breakout in ear piercing maniacal laughter

[chefsos]

Way to hustle Gomes

[bsroyals54]

Slapdick got on base everybody!

[Anyong Bluth]

If we win two straight games, 1 to 0, against the best team in baseball, and the best team in close late inning games. I'm just going to breakout in ear piercing maniacal laughter

All I heard was you're getting your ears pierced if we win today.

[C3HIEF3S]

Lucky he broke his bat there or that is two.

[Don Corlemahomes]

Aren't you the one who said, "It's just a baseball game, Dude?" By that logic, I could say. It's just a job. It's just a car. It's just a physical. It's just a surgery. You're not going to die. You take away any argument and are just left with the end result. Nice primal mind?

SHIT I THOUGHT THIS GAME STARTED AT 430

[BWillie]

SHIT I THOUGHT THIS GAME STARTED AT 430

I thought it started at 9:05 PM.

[BlackHelicopters]

Need more than 1

[Captain Obvious]

REFUSE TO TAKE PITCHES!!!!!

[Don Corlemahomes]

Chaps my ass that Billy has only seen two pitches. Lester at 69 through 5, which could be much worse if Billy and moose would work counts a little.

[ROYC75]

That was not low!

[suzzer99]

Chaps my ass that Billy has only seen two pitches. Lester at 69 through 5, which could be much worse if Billy and moose would work counts a little.

Don't hold Billy back when he's in the groove.

[BlackHelicopters]

[Don Corlemahomes]

VARGAS IS FALLING APART

You need less caps, more content.

[Bruiser]

You need less caps, more content.

[jimidollar]

F U Vargas. You should be able to win 1-0.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Billy butler is absolutely lost outside of the dugout.

[TLO]

[Bruiser]

WARM UP THE BULLPEN

[Bruiser]

FIRE YOST

Guess that's why they are the best team in baseball

[C3HIEF3S]

Games over

Bye then.

[Don Corlemahomes]

NO

Dude, I understand that's the most frequent word you hear from the opposite sex, but what do you think about my advice?

[jimidollar]

I believe that's it.

[bsroyals54]

Bye then.

Nah

[chefsos]

Wait a minute. That's Nick Punto beating you. C'mon.

[Bruiser]

Dude, I understand that's the most frequent word you hear from the opposite sex, but what do you think about my advice?

HUMOR ATTEMPT FAILED

[TLO]

Great bunt.

[BlackHelicopters]

Royals coming unglued

[Bruiser]

OKAY GO TO THE BULLPEN

[Bruiser]

SEND VARGAS BACK TO THE DL

[Don Corlemahomes]

Nah

Not willing to test the court-ordered house arrest with psychiatric therapy exception. Good choice.

[Bruiser]

GET US SOME HITTERS GLASS

[bsroyals54]

Billy can hit popups but can't catch them, he has reached the pinnacle of baseball skill

[TLO]

Damn Vargas, what happened?

[bsroyals54]

Not willing to test the court-ordered house arrest with psychiatric therapy exception. Good choice.

Umad?

[Bruiser]

GET HIM OUT OF THE GAME ALREADY

[penbrook]

Butler fucked up the whole inning

[blake1771]

train wreck

[TLO]

FFS Moose.

[penbrook]

Moose says **** you Vargas

[C3HIEF3S]

Moose is a joke at 3rd.

[Bruiser]

SEND MOOSE TO THE MINORS

[God of Thunder]

OH GEE NED, NOW YOU CHANGE??!?! WHY? JUST LET HIM GET FUCKED OVER SOME MORE.

[bsroyals54]

Moose is a joke at 3rd.

Hes a joke at anything related to baseball?

[Bruiser]

YOU SUCK DAYTON MOORE

[Don Corlemahomes]

Umad?

Er, no. But your parole officer would be.

[KCUnited]

Gordon's arm just broke Punto's ankle.

[TLO]

Seriously have to hold them here to have a chance.

[Bruiser]

OH GEE NED, NOW YOU CHANGE??!?! WHY? JUST LET HIM GET ****ED OVER SOME MORE.

FIRE YOST

[GloryDayz]

I should go back to the golf course?

[Don Corlemahomes]

Hes a joke at anything related to baseball?

I'm Ron Burgundy?

[PHOG]

Moose didn't want to be outdone by Belly. :rolleyes:

[penbrook]

Seriously have to hold them here to have a chance.

ROFL

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Butler with three eff ups defensively in one inning... Lol this is painful.

Drops a pop fly that he barely had to move for. Stands on first base after the hit, completely forgetting that he's supposed to be part of the defensive rotation as cutoff man - luckily Callaspo was equally retarded. Then stand on the base again when bunt is hit pretty much directly at him.

[Bruiser]

CHIEFSPLANET EXPLOSION

[BlackHelicopters]

This is ridiculous

[GloryDayz]

No, that's an error!

[Bruiser]

YOU GOTTA LEARN TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH VARGAS

[PHOG]

Base hit my ass

[TLO]

The retard is strong in this thread. I'm outta here.

[Don Corlemahomes]

The retard is strong in this thread. I'm outta here.

Agreed

[GloryDayz]

Oh, no!!!!!!!!!!!!

[penbrook]

Yost just said game over by putting in Crow

[Bruiser]

YOU SUCK CROW

[GloryDayz]

Well that makes it easy for them!

[penbrook]

I hate Crow

[bsroyals54]

Well that makes it easy for them!

We would of swung at every bad pitch Crow just threw, DP 3 outs, next inning

[GloryDayz]

LOL, pitcher-catcher exchange missed!

[Bruiser]

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A STRIKE IS CROW

[suzzer99]

Way to nibble there Crow – fucking brilliant.

[Bruiser]

GET SOMEBODY ELSE IN THERE

[suzzer99]

"Hey Aaron, just spit balling here but why don't we try throwing… strikes?"

[Bruiser]

HEY BILLY WE'D BE OUT OF THIS INNING IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU
