BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!

[Simply Red]

i believe i like your style. and c'mon royals, dammit!

i WANT to believe!!!

Do you still like Chicken Annies?

[TomBarndtsTwin]

We are now *officially* back in the Wildcard race.


:shake:

[BigMeatballDave]

Great. A national stage to show off their pant-shitting.

[Ceej]

Now the entire country gets to see how bad this team is offensively.

[cabletech94]

Do you still like Chicken Annies?

love it. it's the garlic man. i'd kill for some Annie's right now. PM me if you ever make it near the area and i'll deliver you a meal or whatever you want!

[TLO]

In.

[Deberg_1990]

1-0 shutout

Indians win

\because Royals and big crowds

[TLO]

Good chance tonight to see if Duffy can handle the big stage.

[Demonpenz]

I still get the vibe that the attendence is going to be bad.

[CaliforniaChief]

I still get the vibe that the attendence is going to be bad.

It's a sellout. Standing room only and a few singles as of yesterday.

The funeral will be well-attended.

[lewdog]

I'd rather read another Deberg thread than watch another Royals game.

[gblowfish]

The Royals playing on National TV = Shrinkage getting out of the swimming pool.

[Bowser]

I still get the vibe that the attendence is going to be bad.

Heh.

Tried to get tickets online yesterday for me and the daughter and it said none were available. When was the last time a game was officially sold out (not counting Yankee or Cardinal games)?

[Demonpenz]

I stand pleasantly corrected. I guess I have too many friends at the lake. Go Royals!

[Bowser]

I stand pleasantly corrected. I guess I have too many friends at the lake. Go Royals!

LMAO

[KCUnited]

I tried to get tickets from the box office on Thursday and the only 2 consecutive seats they had available were in row WW in the HyVee section. I declined. Sorry Ned.

[Three7s]

Time for the Royals to get humiliated on the biggest stage.

[gblowfish]

I think we should replace "Friend in Low Places" with this:

[Simplicity]

I'm in... and wow after being at the Iowa Cubs game last night, I was on the 1st base line right by the Oklahoma City RedHawks bullpen. #29, which I later found out his name was Paul Clemens, was so fucking unprofessional... He literally sounded like the annoying drunk guy at the bar that his friends are regretting bringing him and won't talk to him... The other rp's were really thin with how Paul Clemens was acting. Guess that's what happens when you have a 5.51 era in the MLB and getting sent down by the Astros.

[cmh6476]

when are we going to learn that whether you like him or not, bruiser had the mojo :(

[ROYC75]

Do you still like Chicken Annies?

Shit man, haven't had that in years!

Is Chicken Marys still down there too ?

[ROYC75]

My first Royals game thread. For lewdog. For the Royals. For you. Let's win this shit!

Obligatory, This one is on you man, taking a GDT from al.

































:D

[Strongside]

I got a single ticket last night just before they sold out.There's still SRO left I think. The K will be crazy tonight, let's just hope we can put together some sort of competency at the plate and that Ned doesn't fuck things up again. I'm pulling for Duffy to throw 8 innings of shutdown ball, us to actually give him some run support for once, and Holland to shut it down in the 9th. If Ned can't manage the pen, hopefully our starters can make it easy for him.

It's really not a coincidence that our record is so great when we're winning after 7 innings, and not so good when we're not. When Ned doesn't have to actually put thought into using the pen, good things happen. When he does, the firecracker goes off in his hand.

[Simply Red]

love it. it's the garlic man. i'd kill for some Annie's right now. PM me if you ever make it near the area and i'll deliver you a meal or whatever you want!

Pitt, Ks hooker?

:facepalm: I can't even imagine. Never mind

- Annies would work, did you say Mary's went under?

[Simply Red]

I still get the vibe that the attendence is going to be bad.

I will say this - if it's not 30k or more - Yost was correct. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

[Strongside]

Man. That's the ONLY thing I miss about where I grew up in Southeast KS. The unlimited access to the world's greatest fried chicken. The Pittsburg/Frontenac/Girard area is a fucking mecca for fried chicken. Gebhardts, Mary's, Annie's...All good. Preference was always Annie's in Girard, but I'd eat any of it right now.

[Simply Red]

I tried to get tickets from the box office on Thursday and the only 2 consecutive seats they had available were in row WW in the HyVee section. I declined. Sorry Ned.

I like how the old man in front of him tries to play off looking at his dong. Total cock glance.

[Simply Red]

Molly.

Yeah could be - that's a little new school for me to know how it works, I'd imagine it'd be something like that, maybe.


:LOL:

Good call.

[Simply Red]

That sweater vest is hilarious, dude moved to KC from Jersey shore or something like that - guarantee it.

[teedubya]

I believe that Ned will choke.

I believe that Ned will choke.

ROY-ALS BASE-BALL

[Strongside]

I believe that Ned will choke.

I think we should get that chant going at the game tonight.

I...IIIIIII!

I Believe.....I BELIEEEEEVE!

I Believe That.....I BELIEVE THAAAAT!

I Believe That Ned.....I BELIEVE THAT NEDDDDD!

I BELIEVE THAT NED WILL CHOKE! I BELIEVE THAT NED WILL CHOKE! I BELIEVE THAT NED WILL CHOKE!

[SPchief]

I will say this - if it's not 30k or more - Yost was correct. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

There will be almost 40k out there tonight. Depends on how many SRO tickets they sold

[Stewie]

Detroit is kicking the ball all over the field. The Sox lead 4-0.

[Bruiser]

Why the fuck did my game thread get deleted. I hope this wasn't Flopnuts doing we have to much history

[penbrook]

5-0 White Sox

[Simply Red]

There will be almost 40k out there tonight. Depends on how many SRO tickets they sold

good to hear - I'm excited to watch it, more so than the crappy Braves. Braves have no leaders - good time to jump on that Royal BW. I grew up 13 mis east of that stadium, I'm allowed to shift my loyalty. Totally on the Royal's wagon.

[Strongside]

If the Sox lead holds up, we're playing to retain sole possession tonight. Lets take care of business and put this shitty series in the rearview mirror.

[alnorth]

Salvy is DH'ing tonight.

[cmh6476]

Why the **** did my game thread get deleted. I hope this wasn't Flopnuts doing we have to much history

planeteers are rooning our mojo :(

[Strongside]

ChiSox score again, lead 6-2. Hold up, you bitches.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

planeteers are rooning our mojo :(

It was an honest mistake. I accept full responsibility if it backfires.

BUT I BELIEVE!

[Strongside]

Only 6 outs left for Detroit.

[penbrook]

Things Not Worth Fixing Lineup: Aoki 9, Infante 4, Gordon 7, Butler 3, Perez DH, Cain 8, Moustakas 5, Kratz 2, Escobar 6, Duffy 1. #royals

[gblowfish]

Edgar Frederick....
Boom Boom
Boom Boom Boom.

Edgar Frederick....

Boom Boom Boom.

[Crush]

In because I hate myself.

[Crush]

I can't wait to see Kratz strike out looking with the game on the line. I also can't wait to see Yost trot out Scott Downs again when it is tied 1-1 in the 10th. I also can't wait to see if they leave more than 16 fucking runners on base. Should be a blast.

[KChiefs1]

Wear blue!

[lewdog]

I hope this team doesn't take me out behind the barn without lube again tonight.

I guess GMDM went to Willingham and told him his back hurt. Edgar needs some cover.

White Sox beat Detroit. C'mon Royals!

[SPchief]

Tigers lose, tonight is for sole possession again.

Make a little move
Give up another run
Scott Downs tonight!

[BlackHelicopters]

C'mon Royals. Sole possession !

[C3HIEF3S]

All of you guys need to calm down, jeesh.

[gblowfish]

I'm headed out for a pizza later, gonna bring it home, sit down with a couple shots of Crown, a Tank 7, and watch my Royals on National TV. Hopefull they won't make me say and do bad things. I am on vacation until Tuesday.

BACK AND HAMMY PROBLEMS? Fuck

[carcosa]

Haven't had much of a chance to watch the Royals until this past week... when they started to let their 1st place lead slip away. I don't know if I should watch tonight. Seems like I might be cursed.

[Archie F. Swin]

mlb.tv will carry the feed, yes?

[Strongside]

I have a good feeling about tonight. I also just won the pants Jarrod Dyson was wearing last night in the team store. Putting them in the man cave. It's pretty badass...they're covered in dirt still.

[C3HIEF3S]

mlb.tv will carry the feed, yes?

It will be blacked out nationally.

[Bruiser]

Lewdog did you request this shit?

[lewdog]

Lewdog did you request this shit?

Fuck no. I didn't even get to create a thread for my birthday.

Fuck these losers.

[KCCHIEFS27]

Big game tonight. Gotta stop the slide and get some runs. Here we go Royals!

[penguinz]

I have a good feeling about tonight. I also just won the pants Jarrod Dyson was wearing last night in the team store. Putting them in the man cave. It's pretty badass...they're covered in dirt still.

Why would you want to hang pants on your wall soaked in another mans ball and ass sweat?

[ROYC75]

**** no. I didn't even get to create a thread for my birthday.

**** these losers.

Is this what I get to look forwards to tomorrow, my birthday?


IDK, just win today finish 20 - 9 for August and kick off a win in September tomorrow!:thumb:

[Simplicity]

Why would you want to hang pants on your wall soaked in another mans ball and ass sweat?

Because it's Jarrod Dyson's ball and ass sweat!!!

[ROYC75]

This past week has been a BIG let down to many here because of out winning ways prior to this week. With our last 7 games of the season on the road at Cleveland and the White Sox, as I have stated several times before, we needed to pad our lead.

Wasn't long ago ( 30 days ago in Oakland ) I told everybody we would be in 1st place the 1st of September. But I also said we would have a 3 game lead .......

Well thanks for nothing Ned! We should be up by at least 3 games after tonight. Technically, I could point to total of 6 games we should have won since the AS break that falls on Ned or a bad play a long the way. How big would that be ?

[KChiefs1]

I think we should get that chant going at the game tonight.

I...IIIIIII!

I Believe.....I BELIEEEEEVE!

I Believe That.....I BELIEVE THAAAAT!

I Believe That Ned.....I BELIEVE THAT NEDDDDD!

I BELIEVE THAT NED WILL CHOKE! I BELIEVE THAT NED WILL CHOKE! I BELIEVE THAT NED WILL CHOKE!

[Bruiser]

This thread is classic mod abuse power

[siberian khatru]

Just relaxed with an Alec Bradley Prensado cigar and Bulleit rye bourbon.

Hope the Royals don't harsh my mellow.

IMO, this is a must-win game, and Yost should manage accordingly.

[Al Bundy]

Hopefully the Royals don't get primetimed tonight.

[bsroyals54]

Now the entire country gets to see how bad this team is offensively.

It's no secret, most people can't name a single player on the Royals

[Simplicity]

It's no secret, most people can't name a single player on the Royals

A sellout & prime time ESPN = guaranteed loss.

Going to need Duffy at his usual best today

Oh what could have been was this weekend and the 1st of the week!

If we could have swept the Indians and the Indians sweep the Tigers along with the W Six winning 2 would have given us a nice division lead!

Would of could of should of......

Lets not fuck around and show them we're for REAL. SCORE 10 RUNS AND SHUT THEM OUT. (A GUY CAN DREAM)

There's your run, Danny

[ROYC75]

Huwhat?

I'm dizzy reading that shit

Back during the home stand vs the A's, I mentions we soul have a 5 -6 game lead by the end of this home stand. Simply by not losing the 1st 2 games to Cleveland, sweep the Rangers at home this week while the Tribe sweep the Tigers this week.

[carcosa]

Shulman wasn't ready to pronounce "agave"

[bsroyals54]

I like that view, show behind the plate more often

I hate these fucking camera angles.

[C3HIEF3S]

LoCain!!!

[Crush]

Good job Cain.

[Coach]

Nice grab.

[ChiefsCountry]

You can tell Kruk hasn't seen the Royals or Indians this year.

[bsroyals54]

Walk Santana from now on, he's been too dangerous

[carcosa]

You can tell Kruk hasn't seen the Royals or Indians this year.

All the national guys calling the games for the past week have been like that. At least they're erring on the side of giving the Royals credit.

[SPchief]

Unacceptable

[SPchief]

The Duffman

[siberian khatru]

MOAR RUNZ

[Coach]

Good inning Duffman.

[bsroyals54]

Cleveland sex offenders scoreless

[Crush]

MOAR RUNS PLEASE

[Kidd Lex]

I hate these ****ing camera angles.

Agreed

[bsroyals54]

I like the view behind the plate, it shows how fast the hitter has to react and how quick the infielders move instead of editing to right when the fielder makes the play

[stonedstooge]

Evilas with the porn stash

[stonedstooge]

3 pitches and 2 outs

[bsroyals54]

Moustakas is out, breaking news

[bsroyals54]

Moustakas is out, breaking news

At this point, Mouse should just take every single pitch in the hope for a walk, or at least until he has 2 strikes on him. The odds of him actually getting on base are way too low.

[carcosa]

3 pitches and 2 outs

Not exactly working the count...

[stonedstooge]

Kraptz is still HOT

[jimidollar]

I'm glad we got that run early. Now we can concentrate on doing other things.

[Coach]

Fuck.

[jimidollar]

I hate leadoff walks!

[jimidollar]

Nice K Duffy!

[SPchief]

Kruk, it's not Carolina blue asshole

[siberian khatru]

GORDO

[SPchief]

Alex!

[jimidollar]

Gordon makes another nice play.

[SPchief]

Just a routine fly ball

[SPchief]

Where was that?

[jimidollar]

Another walk...

[carcosa]

Alex Gordon is my favorite Alex in KC. By a lot.

[jimidollar]

Fuvk!

Jeez

Horseshit luck

[C3HIEF3S]

Lucky fuckers

[jimidollar]

Walks killed him.

[siberian khatru]

Settle down, Duffy

[Bob Dole]

Let's make sure to leave Duffy in for a few more innings, even though his control is ass. Focus on that pitch count. Okay, Ned?

[Al Bundy]

Make 'em pay Santana.

[Coach]

Man, that pitch count......

[kcxiv]

its the 3rd ****ing inning he's given up 1 run, why the **** do you evern think about replacing him? pitchers can made adjustments

[carcosa]

Only took 34 pitches :-/

[cmh6476]

Make 'em pay Santana.

no dice

[jimidollar]

Glad that's over. Avoided disaster.

[siberian khatru]

We're gonna have to see the bad part of the bullpen tonight

[WhawhaWhat]

Let's make sure to leave Duffy in for a few more innings, even though his control is ass. Focus on that pitch count. Okay, Ned?

This can't be a real post, can it?

[KCUnited]

Fuck Santana for stepping out. Way to battle Duff.

[Al Bundy]

These pussies have to score another run. Almost impossible for the Royals to do.

[Bruiser]

FUCK YOU ESKY

[Al Bundy]

From John Kruks mouth to DMGM's ears... "Walks don't mean shit."

[carcosa]

Bummer of an inning.

[siberian khatru]

Quick inning, dammit

[jimidollar]

Oh good. We still can't hit.

[Crush]

Nice job of making him work for those outs guys. JFC.

[Al Bundy]

The bats have been put away for the night.

[Crush]

Now watch Duffy pitch 40 pitch fourth.

[bsroyals54]

Infante doesnt have the best throwing arm

[jimidollar]

Idiots!!

[Crush]

Of course.

[bsroyals54]

cool

[carcosa]

What the hell was that?

[siberian khatru]

Duffy losing his composure again

[bsroyals54]

DONT LET THIS ****ER SCORE

[TLO]

What in the fuck was that? LMAO

[petegz28]

It's just old now....we suck

[Al Bundy]

Duffy with the COMPLETE FUCKUP.

[petegz28]

DONT LET THIS ****ER SCORE

runner on 3rd with 0 out? Yeah, it's good as 2-1

Infante doesnt have the best throwing arm

He's hurt too!

[Al Bundy]

Duffy with the well deserved loss. Way to show up on national TV Duffy you piece of shit pussy.

[jimidollar]

Giving the game away. That's the Royal way.

[bsroyals54]

seasons over

[Kidd Lex]

2 of the weakest runs ever

[Kidd Lex]

Duffy with the well deserved loss. Way to show up on national TV Duffy you piece of shit pussy.

Are you drunk?

[jimidollar]

... There's always next year, right?

I can wait another 30 years. No big deal.

[tredadda]

With our sudden ability to make even average pitchers look like Kershaw that score should be enough for them to sweep the Royals.

[bsroyals54]

Hosmer would of caught it

[SPchief]

Our pitchers make up almost 40% of our errors

[Dartgod]

Are you drunk?

Please quit quoting this moron.

[Kidd Lex]

I can wait another 30 years. No big deal.

Don't worry, Darrell May won't be our ace anytime soon, we will compete for the foreseeable future

[SPchief]

Hosmer would of caught it

No he wouldn't have

[baitism]

Quite obvious the Royals can't handle the big stage.

[ROYC75]

... There's always next year, right?

Wait, wasn't that last year's motto.

[Al Bundy]

Are you drunk?

Nope.. Duffy pussed out and deserves all the hate he will get for this tonight.

[Al Bundy]

Please quit quoting this moron.

Go fuck yourself. :thumb:

[bsroyals54]

Wait, wasn't that last year's motto.

ITS EVERY YEARS MOTTO

[Bruiser]

THAT WAS BALL 3 ALEX

[Coach]

Hosmer would of caught it

Not even close.

[Bruiser]

GORDON PBJ PBJ PBJ

[carcosa]

Nice hit. Get 'im in, now.

[KChiefs1]

I love to look at the pitch counts of pitchers vs the Royals it's usually about 10-15 per inning.

[tredadda]

GORDON PBJ PBJ PBJ

At least the big stage is not overwhelming for him.

[Bruiser]

JESUS FUCKING A BUTLER

[siberian khatru]

Sigh

[Al Bundy]

YES!!!! Double play.

[carcosa]

I guess the Royals only play well when nobody is watching?
