Is there a team so bad that even Gee can't lose to them?

[Go Royals]

Gee I hope we win

heh

Thanks for the thread, eDave. Now, let's get this thing done!!!

Gee is garbage, there has to be someone else to put out there.

[Dartgod]

Gee is garbage, there has to be someone else to put out there.

Actually, there's not. Chris Young, Flynn...they all suck.

[Toadkiller]

For fucks sake. Put anyone else out there on the mound please.

[Al Bundy]

Eat shit Gee.

[Great Expectations]

Is this real life or is it just fantasy?

[tk13]

Maybe we should stop pitching to Dozier. Feels like he homers in every game against us.

[siberian khatru]

This just in: We have fifth-starter problems

[bsroyals54]

This, he has our # this year. Save a run every AB by not pitching to him

[Simply Red]

Only KC teams does this sort of shit happen to.

[Ron Swanson]

What a bullshit call.

[bsroyals54]

What the fuck????

[Simply Red]

What a bullshit call.

They are making up new rules.

[Al Bundy]

That dumb ass fucking ump.

[Dartgod]

That was horrible. The umps bailed him out for a shitty throw.

[GloryDayz]

Wow. The ump needs to wear one.

Ridiculous

[C3HIEF3S]

For the people who think the role replay has should be minimized, as opposed to expanded, that one is for you.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Lets get a chant going .....

Bean the ump

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Lets have salvy just step outta the way and hit the ump with a fastball right in the nads !

[Great Expectations]

Those splits are some of the worst I've ever seen.

[Simply Red]

I think it's a racist move toward Latinos!!!! & BULLSHIT!!!

[Great Expectations]

The league average vs Gee from the left or right side is better than any of our hitters.

[Al Czervik]

Way past the time to shitcan the 5th starter....Go 4 and take our chances.....

[Great Expectations]

Gee's giving up an ops of .857. We don't have anybody with an ops over .800

[KevB]

Alex missed that ball by a foot

[Ron Swanson]

Making another scrub look like Cy Young

[Meatloaf]

Alex missed that ball by a foot

Gordo can put together the worst professional at bats I've ever seen. Seems to have a constant count of 0-2. Offspeed, low pitch and he's out.

[Jerok]

Ok we've seen duffey once now let's score a bunch of runs... and get out of this fourth in the lead

Any pitcher with a decent slider or changeup can make this lineup look like a bunch of independent leaguers.

[Spott]

Salvy is clutch.

I FELT THAT IN MY BONES

Gordo's back, back again

Bye bye baseball. Grand Slam for Alex Gordon.

Great job team! I think Ned Yost musta read my post.

[WhawhaWhat]

I love when Alex gets those and he knows it.

[Ron Swanson]

Gordo is back!

[SCTrojan]

Dude is white hot.

[Chiefspants]

I love when Alex gets those and he knows it.

He came so close to smashing one against Familia in Game 5 after Hosmer's mad dash. He was just a bit early on his swing.

[KevB]

I'm sure PB is pissed off right now, he won't be able to hammer Gordon for at least 23 hours.

[Al Bundy]

Smoked that punk.

[WhawhaWhat]

I'm sure PB is pissed off right now, he won't be able to hammer Gordon for at least 23 hours.

He watches the game on DVR so he hasn't even seen it yet.

[Great Expectations]

Absolutely, in those situations your adrenaline is pumping. Some people control it and increase performance, some are able to push it away and perform normal, and some choke.

[big nasty kcnut]

Gordo with the fuck you hit!

[Coach]

Throw strikes, asshole.

Your team gave you a 4 run lead, and you're at 3-0 count?

Royals trying to make a run, could be epic if they pull it off.

[Ron Swanson]

Damn, Gee is on a roll.

[Toadkiller]

Damn Gee. Looks like the first batter knocked some skill into him or something.

[gblowfish]

Thank God Alex is starting to wake up. About time he started earning that fat contract.

[tk13]

Honestly, unless they just don't want to stretch him out to 100 pitches you might as well run Gee back out there. He seems to be in the groove.

[siberian khatru]

MLB gonna drug test Gee after this game

[Red Dawg]

To bad we are so far back it probably is too late. The team is finally awake.

At this point, there's no point in worrying about anyone but the Royals. We're chasing so many teams right now that the only thing that matters is winning, and we'll probably gain on SOMEONE.

Tonight, we'll gain on the Red Sox and Astros. Mariners TBD.

[BWillie]

I think the only hope we have is if Baltimore tanks and Cleveland tanks. If those teams play well, we can't make it. I know, stating the obvious. Time to reel off one of these 10 game winning streaks.

[GloryDayz]

Was driving home when the GS happened. How cool is technology, the younger son had the game streaming, told me it was bases loaded/2 outs/Gordo up, and I pulled over and we watched it.

I'm not sure which one is easier.

A Cleveland losing streak combined with a Royals winning streak gets them right back in it. The WC race requires a lot of teams to cool off.

That may be the worst throw I've ever seen from the outfield. And the combination of plays with Grossman is laugh.out.loud.

The Twins defense is just unbelievably bad. Greg Robinson would improve this defense.

Every now and then you should listen to a game on the radio with your son. I grew up listening to most of the home games. Something pretty magical about how it sparks your imagination.

There were kids running around the outfield in the AS Game HR contest that took better angles than Grossman.

Can't ever expect a sweep, IMO. 3/4 is a necessity for sure. Everything is going right for this team right now. Running into the Twins after coming off of a sweep of the Tigers is one of those things.

I agree, and we kinda do. Frequently we're driving back and forth to hockey practice, and when I don't have the MiFi we usually listen to the game on the radio.

I remember one time when I was at my Grandmother's cabin in Stover Mo. - had to have been 81 or so - The Royals were on the radio - it was late / storming - they played something like 19 innings that night.

[C3HIEF3S]

My earliest memory as a Royals fan was watching Broxton walk off the A's by a bases loaded HBP, and then two days later Hochevar gave up seven runs before a single Royal even came to the plate in the home opener. I was hooked.

2012 was a fun year.

Though, watching the Royals through one year of misery beats watching them through 30 years of misery :).

That's funny.

I'd be lying on the floor in our TV Room (which used to be our garage), listening to the Royals game on the radio. My Dad would be half listening with me as he watched TV. The whole time, as I was laying on the floor, I'd throw a baseball with my right hand up to the ceiling and catch it with my left hand. At the end of an inning, I'd switch and throw with the left and catch with the right. I would often times hit the ceiling. EVERY time I did that, my Dad would say, "knock that shit off". Of course, I'd stop for 2 mins and resume doing it. My Dad and I would have that same conversation 10-15 times during the course of any game ROFL

Those are great memories.....RIP, Dad
