[Dartgod]

May the power of my bobble heads turn this shit around!

Kluber (3-5, 3.52)

VS.

Vargas (3-2, 5.16)

http://si.uploads.im/t/4lmtG.jpg (http://uploads.im/4lmtG.jpg)

[cabletech94]

in for the win

[Dartgod]

BTW, rep to the first person who can name all of the bobble heads in the thread starter.

[gpsdude]

Brett, Howser, White, Quiz, Mayberry, Hosmer, Porter, Gura, Busby, Split, Patek, Leonard

[Dartgod]

Brett, Howser, White, Quiz, Mayberry, Hosmer, Porter, Gura, Busby, Split, Patek, Leonard

One of these is incorrect.

[WhawhaWhat]

Back Row - Cookie Rojas, Larry Gura, Steve Busby, Paul Splittorff, Freddie Patek, Dennis Leonard
Front Row - George Brett, Frank White, Dick Howser, Dan Quisenberry, John Mayberry, Eric Hosmer

[C3HIEF3S]

Slumping offense + Kluber tonight = my bold prediction that the offense explodes for 5+ tonight!!

[Ceej]

Speaking of bobble head dolls - anyone plan on selling their Lorenzo Cain sliding bobble head to this guy who can't attend?

[Dartgod]

Back Row - Cookie Rojas, Larry Gura, Steve Busby, Paul Splittorff, Freddie Patek, Dennis Leonard
Front Row - George Brett, Frank White, Dick Howser, Dan Quisenberry, John Mayberry, Eric Hosmer

Correct. Gpsdude mistook Rojas for Porter because of the glasses.

Well done!

All of these except for Hosmer are Royals HOF bobble heads given away between 2007-2010. I thought I had them all, but recently found out I was missing Saberhagen and Willie Wilson. I'd love to get a hold of them but are hard to find at a decent price.

[Coach]

I'll be at the game tonight, and I'll be sure to let these guys know that they're playing very shitty.

http://www.walkoffwalk.com/cinema.majorleague.groundskeepers.jpg

[mr. tegu]

I don't see any bobble heads.

[alnorth]

MLB reportedly told the Royals that their replay umpire in NY was wrong. Obviously there's nothing we can do about it.

[SPchief]

Sooo, MLB admitting they fucked up

[SPchief]

I'm sure we'll get a nice apology letter

[MahiMike]

BTW, rep to the first person who can name all of the bobble heads in the thread starter.

'all of the bobble heads'.

[kstater]

So protocol says I'm allowed 30 years of butthurt over that missed call at first right?

[petegz28]

Sooo, MLB admitting they ****ed up

they also said their was a "system breakdown"....whatever that means. Just have the replay done on the field like the nfl

[petegz28]

no perez tonight and the twins have already lost today

[duncan_idaho]

BTW, rep to the first person who can name all of the bobble heads in the thread starter.

Brett
Patek
Howser
Gura
White
Busby (?)
Quisenberry
Splitt
Mayberry
Biancalana
Hosmer
Leonard

[lewdog]

Welp, I had five old fillings from my childhood replaced today and did them all in one shot instead of going twice. Good thing is I was in and out in 30 minutes and the Dentist gave me the ok to watch baseball all night.

[WilliamTheIrish]

So protocol says I'm allowed 30 years of butthurt over that missed call at first right?

And a picture on the wall of Lou Brock 's restraunt.

[KC Dan]

No auto updating score line. Booooooooooo!

[lewdog]

No auto updating score line. Booooooooooo!

Go ahead. You can have those duties tonight.

[penguinz]

Drinking bourbon?

[C3HIEF3S]

Vargas your task is to not give up one run in order not to lose this :D

[lewdog]

Drinking bourbon?

My whole mouth is numb as I had them replaced on both sides. I can't close my lips around anything to drink. ROFL

[penguinz]

My whole mouth is numb as I had them replaced on both sides. I can't close my lips around anything to drink. ROFL
Soak one of your wife's tampons in vodka and shove it up your ass. ;-)

[lewdog]

Soak one of your wife's tampons in vodka and shove it up your ass. ;-)

Jesus. This escalated quickly!

[penguinz]

Jesus. This escalated quickly!
Lol

[kstater]

Nice Esky

[C3HIEF3S]

lol two pitches, two hits, one run

[kstater]

2 pitches, 1 cup

[petegz28]

Moose!

[SPchief]

This is a good start

[Al Bundy]

Moose!!

[lewdog]

2 pitches, 1 cup

ROFL

[siberian khatru]

There's Vargas' run. Hope he makes it hold up.

[C3HIEF3S]

Perfect pitch
Sit down, Swish

[Dartgod]

No auto updating score line. Booooooooooo!

Stuff it.






:D

[tk13]

This Week in Astronomy with your host Rex Hudler.

[petegz28]

sigh...tie game..just like that

[SPchief]

Quit pitching to Moss

[Dartgod]

Well, fuck.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Moss...

[petegz28]

the same Vargas we saw early on....handed a lead and gives it right back within 3 outs

[Al Bundy]

So.. why doesn't Ned just tell his pitchers to NOT pitch to Moss at this point??

[Deberg_1990]

Why does Vargas always have that look like "I don't give a shit whether I win or lose" on his face?

[bsroyals54]

NICE CATCH RIOS TIME FOR 3-4 RUNS

[bsroyals54]

Why does Vargas always have that look like "I don't give a shit whether I win or lose" look on his face?

he is related to jon lovitz and he is a professional

[siberian khatru]

Did the Royals pull a train on Moss' wife?

[Al Bundy]

Now the Royals have to score a second run... that seems almost impossible at this point.

[Dartgod]

Geeez ump.

[petegz28]

At least Infante can end another inning....

[C3HIEF3S]

Omar is laughable

[petegz28]

yeah, 2 runs may be asking a lot

[Al Bundy]

I'd like to give the Royals a 65% chance of winning tonight..

[petegz28]

are you fucking kidding me??? GET YORU HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASS!

[Blankey]

I'd like to give the Royals a 65% chance of winning tonight..

lol

[Deberg_1990]

Already a call to the bullpen?

[C3HIEF3S]

Already a call to the bullpen?

what?

[petegz28]

and........that's game over LMAO

[cabletech94]

im with pete here. dammit

[Al Bundy]

Uhhmm.. so now the Royals have to score 2 more runs. There is about a 10 percent chance of that happening.

[Dartgod]

Already a call to the bullpen?

Checking to see if they wanted to challenge the call at 2nd.

[SPchief]

and........that's game over LMAO

Is that you, or the chart saying that?

[petegz28]

Is that you, or the chart saying that?

I'm being half a smart ass but half serious as well.....we are cooked this game

[Dartgod]

and........that's game over LMAO

GTF out of my game thread then.

You and your ilk make me sick. ALWAYS fucking negative bullshit flowing from your keyboard.

[Deberg_1990]

Just another day at the office for Vargas

[Deberg_1990]

Checking to see if they wanted to challenge the call at 2nd.

Ahhh. Ok thanks

[C3HIEF3S]

GTF out of my game thread then.

You and your ilk make me sick. ALWAYS fucking negative bullshit flowing from your keyboard.

Um.

Deberg asked if we were going to the bullpen, I was confused.
I am far from the most negative one here.

[Dartgod]

Um.

Deberg asked if we were going to the bullpen, I was confused.
I am far from the most negative one here.

Sorry about that. Meant to quote pete.

[cabletech94]

love the dp

[C3HIEF3S]

Sorry about that. Meant to quote pete.

LOL, no worries. All good :thumb:

[WilliamTheIrish]

Goddamm that Vargas.. Looking so disinterested during that double play.

[kstater]

love the dp


I know your wife does

[petegz28]

Sorry about that. Meant to quote pete.

Oh pull it out of your ass...I put a ROFL

That's two nights in a row that your sarcasm meter has been fucked

[cabletech94]

I know your wife does

its true. she does. (you sonovabitch!!!):clap:

[petegz28]

can't win if you can't hit the fucking ball

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice and easy swing there from Esky

[C3HIEF3S]

Lets get the run game going, huh?

[Dartgod]

Moose dong time.

[C3HIEF3S]

Esky and Moose got this shit

[petegz28]

Lets get the run game going, huh?

I think we've attempted 1 stolen base in the last 6 games and that was Dyson in the 1404846-1 loss to NY

[Dartgod]

Oh pull it out of your ass...I put a ROFL

That's two nights in a row that your sarcasm meter has been fucked
Fine, I overreacted.

You are generally pretty negative though.

[cabletech94]

esky and moose doing what the entire team should do.

[Why Not?]

Moose totally owns Kluber

[cabletech94]

is it sugar cain time?

[SPchief]

GAME OVER

[C3HIEF3S]

damn, nice relay.

I don't mind forcing their hand there.

[Dartgod]

Dumb sending Moose there.

[cabletech94]

is it sugar cain time?

goddamn, i'm a goddamned prophet!!!

[Why Not?]

Yeah! But stupid decision to send Moose

[petegz28]

not too mad about sending Moose there....but with Hos coming up it probably wouldn't have hurt to hold him

[C3HIEF3S]

Ok yeah maybe we shouldn't have sent them with Hos up

[WilliamTheIrish]

*Sigh* Just like that Kluber gives it back to us. *Sigh*

[kstater]

Dumb sending Moose there.


Thought so too. But looking at the replay I see why he sent him, just was a good relay.

[Dartgod]

C'mon Hos.

[cosmo20002]

I'm not sure his hand didn't get in there before the actual tag

[cabletech94]

lets see hos kill the ball. or kluber.

[Why Not?]

goddamn, i'm a goddamned prophet!!!

Um, prophecies are normally not declared with a question mark.

[C3HIEF3S]

lets see hos kill the ball. or kluber.

or both :D

[Sassy Squatch]

That relay was fantastic.

[Dartgod]

Thought so too. But looking at the replay I see why he sent him, just was a good relay.

Yeah, that last angle showed it was going to take a good relay.

[Mr. Laz]

It was a close enough play the plate to not be stupid. If anything goes wrong, even a bobble, he's safe.

:shrug:

rather be aggressive

[petegz28]

Thought so too. But looking at the replay I see why he sent him, just was a good relay.

Yeah but with Hos coming up I think I might have held him..that being said it was a good play

[Al Bundy]

I'm not sure his hand didn't get in there before the actual tag

I'm thinking the same thing... home plate ump was in a bad spot.

[SPchief]

HOS!

[C3HIEF3S]

CLUTCH HOS!!!!

[Dartgod]

HOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

3 runs! 3!

[Al Bundy]

There we go Hosmer...

[Why Not?]

Hoz baby!

[petegz28]

okay NOW sending Moose hurts and that's why I said with Hos coming up you should have just held him but oh well

[cabletech94]

we should not let off of their necks right now......

[kstater]

Game over!!!

[C3HIEF3S]

Hosmer utilizing his godly opposite field power again

[SPchief]

Wait, can someone clarify something for me? Wasn't this game suppose to be over in the 2nd? I was told the game was over

[Dartgod]

Wait, can someone clarify something for me? Wasn't this game suppose to be over in the 2nd? I was told the game was over

Sarcasm, apparently.

[C3HIEF3S]

Wait, can someone clarify something for me? Wasn't this game suppose to be over in the 2nd? I was told the game was over

Refer to the chart.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Does Kluber have to look this disinterested?

[cabletech94]

Wait, can someone clarify something for me? Wasn't this game suppose to be over in the 2nd? I was told the game was over

game over, man.


/aliens

[cosmo20002]

I'm thinking the same thing... home plate ump was in a bad spot.

I thought at least pete would be all over this.
I replayed the DVR once, and I think it was really worth challenging.

[C3HIEF3S]

KENDRYS <3

[Why Not?]

Just lighting him up here!

[C3HIEF3S]

Our offense... is showing... signs... of life

[petegz28]

Wait, can someone clarify something for me? Wasn't this game suppose to be over in the 2nd? I was told the game was over

Vargas is pitching...I won't be shocked to see a tie game before the next time we bat unless we blow it open here....just going with how Vargas has performed this season..not trying to be a downer

[kstater]

Was he waiting on that slider?

[cabletech94]

ive asked the general question before, but never about morales:


is it gay if morales gives me a boner?

[petegz28]

I thought at least pete would be all over this.
I replayed the DVR once, and I think it was really worth challenging.

Ball beat him, tag beat him..they weren't overturning it..you may be right but they weren't overturning it

[lewdog]

GAME OVER.........................





INDIANS

[Why Not?]

Need moar runs! Don't trust Vargas to keep em at 2

[VonneMarie]

ive asked the general question before, but never about morales:


is it gay if morales gives me a boner?

Yes.

[SPchief]

Great AB by Alex

[petegz28]

alright, Rios...how about a hit here, buddy?

[C3HIEF3S]

ive asked the general question before, but never about morales:


is it gay if morales gives me a boner?

No.

[cabletech94]

Yes.

well, i'm glad he doesn't then. what a hell of an off season pickup.


moving along

[petegz28]

alright, Rios...how about a hit here, buddy?

or not....he just walked the guy in front of you so yeah...swing at the 1st pitch

[cosmo20002]

Ball beat him, tag beat him..they weren't overturning it..you may be right but they weren't overturning it

I just watched it again. It was as close as the Hosmer call last night. Ball did beat him, by a mile. But tagged the leg and his hand I think touched the base Again though...it is hard to tell the precise moment a tag is applied.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Rios looks so disinterested...

[bsroyals54]

Rios looks so disinterested...

how could he be when his daughter's name is Melanie :D

[petegz28]

twins up 2-0 in game 2

[lewdog]

Glad that chain broke. Shit looks so dumb.

[petegz28]

oaktown putting the gank on the tigers but the twins are going to win

[C3HIEF3S]

oaktown putting the gank on the tigers but the twins are going to win

Kitties have been ass as of late.

[SPchief]

Vargas is pitching...I won't be shocked to see a tie game before the next time we bat unless we blow it open here....just going with how Vargas has performed this season..not trying to be a downer

Are you ever right?

[WilliamTheIrish]

Thanks for giving the lead back Vargas!/petetard

[Why Not?]

Ok. Let's see if Butera can get a one out rally started here

[petegz28]

Are you ever right?
a lot of times..have you actually watched vargas pitch this year? you apparently haven't

[lewdog]

Are you ever right?

We should track Pete's "winning" percentage on predictions.

[petegz28]

Thanks for giving the lead back Vargas!/petetard

so for the 3rd time all season he doesn't give the lead back in 3 outs...

[SPchief]

a lot of times..have you actually watched vargas pitch this year? you apparently haven't

He was hurt. Have you seen his starts since coming back from the DL?

[petegz28]

Ok. Let's see if Butera can get a one out rally started here

LMAO

Alex would have had it

/obvious

[petegz28]

He was hurt. Have you seen his starts since coming back from the DL?

vargas blowing leads isn't exactly a rarity.....and that goes back to last year too

[petegz28]

Don't dumb him down with facts!

try sunscreen, bro

[petegz28]

that was easier than i'd have liked it

[lewdog]

try sunscreen, bro

That post is filled with a lot of hate from someone who lives in Olathe fucking Kansas.

[petegz28]

He was hurt. Have you seen his starts since coming back from the DL?

yeah, did you see the 2nd inning of this game where he blew the lead within 3 outs of getting it??? ROFL

[WilliamTheIrish]

That post is filled with a lot of hate from someone who lives in Olathe ****ing Kansas.

Pete's not afraid of the sun. He's afraid of bright lights.

Owned by black neighbors.

[petegz28]

You'll have to refresh my memory, was that back when the game was over?

[petegz28]

here we go.....

[lewdog]

Well.....this isn't good.

[C3HIEF3S]

Defense, fellas!

[Dartgod]

Well, that helps.

[SPchief]

BIG


Great job on all 3

[petegz28]

that was a sweet dp..way to help your own cause, vargy

[C3HIEF3S]

the biggest news is our pitcher didn't airmail the ball

[tk13]

Just been really sloppy this week and getting ourselves into jams.

[Jerok]

Damn, that was a sweet double play.

[Dartgod]

Nice!!

[WilliamTheIrish]

Nice work Vargas.

I wish he looked a little more interested tho.

[siberian khatru]

What a huge escape that inning was.

[petegz28]

that was big...thought it would be 4-3 at the least

[tk13]

Some good work there. Vargas buys another inning. He might need to because I'm guessing Davis is shut down tonight.

[petegz28]

bs call on moose

[petegz28]

wtf is that 4 k's in row?

[petegz28]

the zone has expanded

[C3HIEF3S]

wtf is that 4 k's in row?

Kluber's kind of good

[petegz28]

Kluber's kind of good

when you get calls out of the zone it's easy to be good

[WilliamTheIrish]

when you get calls out of the zone it's easy to be good

Umps no good again, Pete? Gee you never say that.

[petegz28]

the dreaded 6th inning....

[petegz28]

Umps no good again, Pete? Gee you never say that.

nah, he was smooth calling balls, strikes

[lewdog]

the dreaded 6th inning....

666

[petegz28]

great play hos

[petegz28]

good thing hat wasnt the 1st base ump from last night :)

[gblowfish]

Vargas is dealing

[petegz28]

wow that was what..6 pitches????

[SPchief]

Stupid 6th inning


Send him back out for the 7th

[WilliamTheIrish]

the dreaded 6th inning....

7 pitches. Through the heart of the lineup. Dreaded.

[C3HIEF3S]

Stupid 6th inning


Send him back out for the 7th

Agreed.
I haven't heard anything on Davis, anyone else? I can't imagine him being available after last night.

[petegz28]

7 pitches. Through the heart of the lineup. Dreaded.

dude are you trying to a douche on purpose or is hindsight just something you always use to feel good about yourself?

[tk13]

Yeah I'd guess it's Madson, Herrera and Holland. If they need anyone else probably Morales or Blanton.

[SPchief]

Agreed.
I haven't heard anything on Davis, anyone else? I can't imagine him being available after last night.

Zero chance Davis is available tonight. Probably not tomorrow either.

[petegz28]

Agreed.
I haven't heard anything on Davis, anyone else? I can't imagine him being available after last night.

can't see them using him tonight but if he says he can go then go

[C3HIEF3S]

I don't mind that, plus he's probably still on some sort of cautious pitch count from his injury

[SPchief]

dude are you trying to a douche on purpose or is hindsight just something you always use to feel good about yourself?

Pretty simple, quit posting stupid shit. And you'll quit being ridiculed.

[petegz28]

Pretty simple, quit posting stupid shit. And you'll quit being ridiculed.

yeahm, saying "the dreaded 6th inning" is really stupid when the 6th inning has been a sore spot all season.

Just like you giving me shit cause i said vargas has blown a lot o fleads this season....you tell me how great vargas has been in a game he blew the lead in once already...

talk about stupid shit

[petegz28]

rios finally gets his 1st hit.....good, good...hopefully his timing is getting up to snuff

[petegz28]

infante on the other hand......ends yet another inning

[WilliamTheIrish]

dude are you trying to a douche on purpose or is hindsight just something you always use to feel good about yourself?

When you cry out with dire predictions of doom and gloom, they need to be lunettes to show what moron you are in these threads.

He gave up a whopping 2 runs. The good news is that most people are smarter than you and didn't turn off the tv when the game was over in the 2nd inning.

[petegz28]

When you cry out with dire predictions of doom and gloom, they need to be lunettes to show what moron you are in these threads.

calling the 6th inning, the dreaded 6th inning is not a prediction....moron

[petegz28]

blah blah blah...i said he blows leads and you talked shit on me in a game that he blew the lead.......yip yap..yip yap

[Why Not?]

JFC. Field the ball or don't.

[petegz28]

oh fuck...how many lucky breaks does this fucker get in a game???

[baitism]

I hate pitchers that can't field their position.

[petegz28]

just don't serve any meatballs

[lewdog]

just don't serve any meatballs

I'm still numb but I wish I could eat some meatballs.

Sal wearing his glove sitting on the bench lol

[lewdog]

Sal wearing his glove sitting on the bench lol

He's like a child. I bet he hates not playing. I think that's why they catch him so much. He's probably so annoying in the dugout when he isn't playing.

[C3HIEF3S]

Defeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeense

[petegz28]

whew ..closer than it needed to be but nice play

[SPchief]

Sal is gonna make a great manager some day.


Way to stay with it Hos!

[C3HIEF3S]

He's like a child. I bet he hates not playing. I think that's why they catch him so much. He's probably so annoying in the dugout when he isn't playing.

LMAO this is a definite possibility

[petegz28]

Hell of a play by esky

[petegz28]

bs....he's been getting calls out of the zone all night

both strikes called on hos were out of the zone

[KCUnited]

Morales just screams jovial, happy guy.

[petegz28]

meh...alright holland..let's make this drama free

[lewdog]

Snot rockets unite!

Hey! I have trees in my yard! Palm trees, but still trees

[C3HIEF3S]

Shut it down, Holland

[SPchief]

Dirty South time

[tk13]

That's an ace pitcher. Got knocked around a bit tonight but still went out there at 100 pitches and got his team through the 8th.

[petegz28]

9 k's to 8 bb's for holland??? that's unusual

[C3HIEF3S]

94 mph fastball there

[SPchief]

I'd feel bad for him, but I don't

[C3HIEF3S]

last outing he was up 93 from previous 92. now he just threw one at 94. inching closer?

[Deberg_1990]

Kluber with the stud, work horse performance tonight.

[petegz28]

94 mph fastball there

yeah and straight as an arrow

[Why Not?]

Guessing this next pitch is gonna be inside.

[gblowfish]

I hope this fucking guy fouls one off the other knee....

[lewdog]

No Hud that's his fucking quad.

Last night's game took forever, this one has breezed along.

[petegz28]

kluber got that call all night

[SPchief]

Last night's game took forever, this one has breezed along.

Kluber took Francona out of the game. With him in, Francona wasn't forced to change pitchers every other batter
