I think he was just trying out some Deja vu as am I

[teedubya]

go fuck yourself

This behavior is unacceptable. His rep is gone now, so he turned it off. LOL.

This guy is a shithead, though. Royals are in first place, though. So, who cares?

In with the win!

[Chiefspants]

Bruiser, you have my bow.

[eDave]

Bruiser with the balls of steel.

[Why Not?]

In. A few more wins and Bruiser becomes the Nick Papageorgio of this board. Gonna need all the mojo you can muster against Lester

[Silock]

I SUMMON THE POWER OF SUNG WOO.

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Tough match up. Let's get good Guts tonight.

Could one of you fine, gentlemanly brethren inform me as to why I don't see the Royals on this morning's wild card standings?

I am befuddled and would appreciate any and all clarification. Thank you in advance, sincerest regards!

A fine state of affairs indeed, if I do say so myself, my good man. Many thanks for your update as to the status of my beloved first-place Kansas City Royals baseball team.

When was the last time the Royals led this late in the season?

[DeepSouth]

I envision the Royals stacking RH batters against Lester. Even though Aoki bats Left, he'll start in right sincehe hits LHP better than RHP. And Dyson nor Ibanez can hit LHP.
Willingham should start at DH. But, will Colon start at 3rd instead of Moose. Moose is hoovering around .200 but he has a horrendous split against LHP. But Colon doesn't play 3rd as well as he plays SS or 2nd. It'll be interesting to see what Yost does.

I doubt it. I dont think Dayton or ned really cares to platoon Moose, unfortunately. The Valencia trade still baffles me. But I guess he redeemed himself by getting Willingham

[Chiefspants]

I think having a guy off the bench who can actually play SS and 2B might be more beneficial down the line than Valencia (especially since we've landed Willingham).

[Chiefspants]

I believe Andy tweeted it was the latest we've led the division since Aug. 29th, 2003.

[petegz28]

Really? A ****ing n00b?

Hey, dude won it last night....give him some slack

[petegz28]

Bruiser, you have my bow.

[Fairplay]

In for the win.

I'm going to continue being negative about the team so as to not screw the team's mojo up. Everyone okay with that?

OK Bruiser, as a n00b you have the balls to start a pennant stretch GDT, when you have been basically non-existence all year on GDT's. You take you ass and disappear last night or when the heat came for starting it, you turn your rep off as in take your ball and go home. But you start a GDT at 12:03 AM for a game to be played 18 freaking hrs later? How flipping old are you ?

Even myself amongst many other old time posters here have been awaiting for alnorth to start the GDT's., after he is not available we allow others to start GDT's. Show some respect to alnorth my man ( err kid, whatever you may be ), . Last night, you had me on your side pulling the Royal mojo to winning, I'm not sure I can watch tonight and we face Lester, a real pain in our ass the last several years pitching against us.

Not only your ass, but your balls are on display tonight! 18 HRS before game time too ! Good Luck!

Lets Go Royals!

What a horrible post.

I wasn't in the game thread because I watched the game at a friends house. I apologize for not furiously refreshing the game thread. Or maybe you're right I was terrified to post in it after we scored 2 quick first inning runs. I have been very hesitant to speak my mind here :spock:

18 hours before game time was the start of the other thread too. Just a terrible terrible post. Please do better next time.

In his defense, someone told him last night to "go ahead and start today's game thread".

[petegz28]

Too all of you bashing Bruiser for being a noob and starting threads.....what has non-noob threads gotten us over the last several years?


Yeah, that's what I thought.

Lets Go Royals!Get over yourself. It is so god damn annoying that all of the CP 'veterans' think they are above the new people. Yes some of them do suck but so do a lot of the old guys as well.

[CaliforniaChief]

I for one am not going to worry about who starts a Royals GDT on a football board and will instead enjoy every damned minute of being in first place and making a run at the playoffs.

[Strongside]

The n00b came through yesterday. Good job n00b.

IN!

[farmerchief]

We got the little Twinkie from Minnesota, he should be at least good for 2 RBI against Lester!

[Pablo]

There are 40+ games left for all the panicking folk out there worried about their shot at starting a GDT.

LMAO

I'm mostly being an assclown but I find it funny when people like teedubya get all hot and bothered, go through my profile, and start negging all my posts LMAO

Apparently starting a GDT is a very important thing and should only be done by seasoned professionals.

I just wanna know if anyone truly believes that whoever starts a "gameday thread" on a forum makes any difference in the outcome of the game.

Oh Good Grief, get over yourself. It's CP tradition rip a n00b, ala Skip Towne style.

It's only in good fun, sure the n00b doesn't know this or understand this, BTA, when has that ever been a problem?

Sentimental peckeheaded penguinz .....;)

And besides, I really don't care about who starts the GDT's, really I don't. I know that alnorth has the best, hands down. Does it makes win ? NO. I have a very good record of watching us win games , Does that help us win ? No. Is Sungwoo Lee the good luck charm ? No.It's all just coincidental, it's strictly the team! They win and lose as a team!




Now don't go getting all sentimental on me again, Jeesh!

When is the right time to feel optimistic about the team? Because right now I'm still trained to anticipate the annual August/September shit-slide into David Glass's presser about how we're "almost there" and "building a winner for the future" and the subsequent fire sale of all our best young talent.

My sense is that this is the way I should stay until something's clinched.

Usually we are very good in late-August and September, when there is absolutely no pressure and the Royals have been out of the race for months.

Much better lineup with Willingham in there, IMO. Read an article on the A's where Willingham was labeled an "A's killer."

Steve Gorman was interviewing him talking Royals, MLB, and Hud stuff.

[Bufkin]

Willingham in that 6 spot makes this lineup halfway sexy.

[Strongside]

Giving shit to the n00bs is like hazing. It's like BUDS for the Navy SEALS. You get your ass kicked and if you stick around and have something to contribute, then you're in. You may still get cussed at by Milkman, though.

Mine was with a filter evasion... lol.

[Why Not?]

Mine was by a Broncos fan of all people. Can't remember what I said wrong but he got on me pretty good. Told him he could go fuck himself with the aids infested donkey he rode in on. He seemed to like me after that so..... Guess I responded ok?

[C3HIEF3S]

Doubt ill be in for much of this one, gonna have to win this one without me tonight. Have to pick mom up from airport, but her flights keep getting delayed.

Go Royals!

I never really got hazed. It was a long time ago but I think I basically didn't say much for a while and by the time anyone noticed me, I was here a couple years and had hundreds of posts.

1 down.

Well the A's gave away 1 run there atleast

[ROYC75]

They just need to keep winning series after series.


Yep, But FTR, I'm on record saying 10, maybe 12 losses.

[lewdog]

Well got the last guy. That's good.

[kstater]

Shit, a better throw there and they have a chance at both.

[stonedstooge]

ESky guns him down. Would have been cool if Salvy could have tagged both of them out

[ROYC75]

Nice relay!

[petegz28]

I see we got THAT Guthrie tonight?

[ROYC75]

I don't see Detroit winning 95 games, so no.

Me either, 88 to 90

[TLO]

Any word on the Verlander injury?

[stonedstooge]

Whew. Lucky to only give up 1

[ROYC75]

Nice pitch!

[TLO]

Could have been a lot worse. Let's get that run back.

[Coach]

Minimal damage.

[jimidollar]

It's only one run. Twenty pitches though.

[C3HIEF3S]

Any word on the Verlander injury?

Inflammation, no damage to the shoulder.

[KCCHIEFS27]

just humming them in there like BP huh?

[Archie F. Swin]

Any word on the Verlander injury?

If Kate Upton was my girlfriend, I'd leave early too.

[petegz28]

You guys all focused on Detroit better not forget about Cleveland. They are only 5.5 back and can catch us easily if we start losing a few

[Bruiser]

Aoki gets fucked

[lewdog]

You guys all focused on Detroit better not forget about Cleveland. They are only 5.5 back and can catch us easily if we start losing a few

Pete I like where your head is at tonight. Please keep this up.

[petegz28]

That pitch was never in the zone...can't blame Omar for not swinging at it

[Coach]

Great AB regardless of the situation. Burning him up pretty good.

[Bruiser]

PEREZ PBJ PBJ PBJ

[petegz28]

good AB, Pear-ez

[alnorth]

That was fantastic. He burned 10 pitches off of Lester tonight for that walk.

[lewdog]

NM

[Bruiser]

Well 25 pitches off no hits. Not a bad half inning I guess.

[WhawhaWhat]

Another screamer from Butler but right at someone.

[PHOG]

That's it, keep making Lester work for it..:thumb:

[ROYC75]

Billy fouled a pitch he should have parked in the bullpen!

To the field we go, down 1-0.

[ROYC75]

Inflammation, no damage to the shoulder.

Miss a turn, maybe 2

[ROYC75]

Atta boy Alex!

[Bruiser]

Saved a double

[Anyong Bluth]

Well 25 pitches off no hits. Not a bad half inning I guess.

Honestly, running up his pitch count and minimize the damage may be our best chance.

[Coach]

He's getting hit hard....

[Anyong Bluth]

They're definitely not having trouble squaring up his pitches so far.

[Archie F. Swin]

Rex and Ryno broadcasting from left field....fun

[ROYC75]

He's getting hit hard....

My concern too !

Needs more movement on the ball or a better job of mixing up the pitches!

[Strongside]

Rex and Ryan sitting out in the outfield for the game. You can hear the fans around them. If it's like most games I've ever been to, it's just a matter of time before we hear someone yell something like "EAT MY ASSHOLE LESTER YOU FUCK FACE!" on live television.

[ROYC75]

Damn, that was a strike!

[stonedstooge]

Nice quick 1 for Guthrie

[Bruiser]

Nice quick inning time to put Lester back out there!

[Coach]

Much better inning.

Excellent defense.

[Anyong Bluth]

Rex and Ryno broadcasting from left field....fun

Yeah, at first I was wondering what was up with the really distinct cheering on Alex's catch, but makes sense with the fans around.

[ROYC75]

Moose with the 3rd out, no damage in the 2nd inning, Lets get the bats going!

[Archie F. Swin]

hopefully Bill Ray or Josh WillingSLAM will send Rex and Ryno a token of their appreciation

[alnorth]

Tigers are losing 3-2 in the 5th.

[ROYC75]

Nice quick inning time to put Lester back out there!

Hey butthead, sent you a rep message, go ahead an look!

Was a better inning for Gut!

[Bruiser]

Terrible AB watched two perfect pitches and swung at a crappy one.

[Strongside]

Really weird to see Willingham in a Royals uni.

[ROYC75]

Damn Alex, caught looking!

[Bruiser]

Hey butthead, sent you a rep message, go ahead an look!

Was a better inning for Gut!

I saw. I don't take comments on a message board too seriously :thumb:

[Strongside]

OH SHIT!!!

[lewdog]

That a boy!!!

[stonedstooge]

I LIKE THAT TRADE

[PHOG]

Hell yeah!

[Coach]

That a way Hammer.

That's how you want to impress us.

Keep it going buddy.

[ROYC75]

Hot Damn, that was awesome on the first pitch!

Nice rip Josh!

[Bruiser]

WILLINGHAM PBJ PBJ PBJ

[TLO]

Willingham so sexy.

[Strongside]

That swing was money.

[Strongside]

And now Moose will take a shit.

[C3HIEF3S]

Jeff Francoeur!!

[Anyong Bluth]

Pretty good 1st at bat in a Royal's uniform.

[Strongside]

Juuuuuuuuuust a bit high.

[ROYC75]

I wanted a wild pitch, damn, it doesn't count!

[Bruiser]

sit down Moose yikes

[Coach]

Should have a R batting instead of Mouse.

[Strongside]

I like this ump's zone so far.

[ROYC75]

Come on Mr Cain!

[Anyong Bluth]

That a way Hammer.

That's how you want to impress us.

Keep it going buddy.

Since Rex and Ryan call Holland Hammer, they wondered what would be a good name to avoid confusion.

Greg responded, "SLEDGEHAMMER! "

[Strongside]

That fan they just showed with the beard was high as a fucking kite.

[stonedstooge]

Crap

[Bruiser]

gonna have to start putting the ball in play

[ROYC75]

Damn, but we are making him throw a lot!

[Strongside]

gonna have to start putting the ball in play

I hope so. For your sake.

:evil:

[ROYC75]

Dammit, I'm gotta leave for a while during this one guys!

LET'S GO ROYALS!

[stonedstooge]

Salvy a little slow down the line

[Anyong Bluth]

I'm thinking Hos has the height to make that catch... ?

[Captain Obvious]

Way too much pants shitting going on tonight.

[Coach]

Sit your ass down.

[stonedstooge]

I'm thinking Hos has the height to make that catch... ?

Naw. On the replay the throw was wide by 5 feet

[Coach]

I'm thinking Hos has the height to make that catch... ?

No dice. That ball sailed.

[Strongside]

Naw. On the replay the throw was wide by 5 feet

Billy Butler - 6'1"
Eric Hosmer - 11'1"

You are wrong.

[Bruiser]

UGH don't think Guthrie is going too deep.

[Strongside]

Shit, man.

[alnorth]

That was a good throw, but he was a hair too fast

[Al Bundy]

Great winning streak we had. Weren't going to sweep the A's and losing to Lester isn't a shameful thing.

[stonedstooge]

Billy Butler - 6'1"
Eric Hosmer - 11'1"

You are wrong.

I would believe that Hosmer would have come off the bag and went for the ball and tag. Not sure he could have gotten it, but he's a hell of an athlete

[Strongside]

Motherfucker, Guthrie. Get your shit together.

[Coach]

That's the game.

[stonedstooge]

Got our work cut out for us tonight boys

[Al Bundy]

Would be nice if Guthrie would have given us a legit chance in the game though.

[WhawhaWhat]

Man none of these hits are being hit hard. Just little dunkers.

[Bruiser]

FIRE YOST. CUT GUTHRIE. SELL THE TEAM GLASS.

[TLO]

Great winning streak we had. Weren't going to sweep the A's and losing to Lester isn't a shameful thing.

You're right, see ya later man.

[WhawhaWhat]

FIRE YOST. CUT GUTHRIE. SELL THE TEAM GLASS.

Ban Bruiser!

[lewdog]

This lose will be on Ned if we don't come back.

[chiefsfan987]

Aoki throwing home cost us a run instead of just playing it safe and throwing to second keeping them out of scoring position.

[baitism]

Would be nice if Guthrie would have given us a legit chance in the game though.

Unearned runs....

[ChiTown]

3 runs ain't shit to KING FUCKING KONG! Let's go, Royals!

[petegz28]

Ugh, hate to say it but that's probably game with Lester pitching

[baitism]

Aoki throwing home cost us a run instead of just playing it safe and throwing to second keeping them out of scoring position.

Hindsight's 20/20. If the throw is not up the line, he's out.

[Al Bundy]

You're right, see ya later man.

I'm still going to watch, but Lester owns us.

[Coach]

Aoki throwing home cost us a run instead of just playing it safe and throwing to second keeping them out of scoring position.

None of that would had mattered had Escobar pulled his Neifi Perez like moment.

[C3HIEF3S]

Kittens still losing 3-2 in 6th.

[Bruiser]

This team does not quit and Bruiser simply does not lose.

[TLO]

Aoki Dokie!

[bsroyals54]

we losing cuz i haven't posted yet, mojo post

[stonedstooge]

Aoki's on again. w00t

[Bruiser]

AOKI PBJ PBJ PBJ

[TLO]

Infante has sucked lately.

[TLO]

So he hasn't thrown to first this season? May as well get a big lead.

[bsroyals54]

Royals I command you to tie or take the lead next inning

[Strongside]

Shit, we still got 6 half innings to get back into this. Chin up, queers.

[TambaBerry]

So pissed we had to face Lester 3 God damn times. At this point just take pitches to get to their bullpen

[Anyong Bluth]

Shit, we still got 6 half innings to get back into this. Chin up, queers.

Nice

[Coach]

Yeah, he ain't got it in him today.....

Jesus.

[Bruiser]

batting practice

[WhawhaWhat]

Look at all those people walking around and not watching the game. The exact reason I don't want to go to the ballpark unless I am with friends that also want to watch the game.

[stonedstooge]

Christ. Might have to get Chen up and going

[Al Bundy]

Guthrie going to get a well earned loss.

[TribalElder]

Sungwoo are at zardas with belly and belly's nasty sauce

Bad energy LMAO

[Strongside]

Shit, we still got 6 half innings to get back into this. Chin up, queers.

I take this back. That's game.
