[alpha_omega]

Would have been a nice day to go to the game. A little warm, but there does seem to be some wind.

[GloryDayz]

This ump is kinda blind!

Those calls better go both ways!

[BlackHelicopters]

When did July arrive? Guess I slept right through it.

[Chiefspants]

When did July arrive? Guess I slept right through it.

Hahahaha. My bad.

[Chiefspants]

Feelin' #20 here.

[Chiefspants]

Or that works too, I guess.

[siberian khatru]

Moose sucks

[penbrook]

That was a terrible inning

[penbrook]

**** moose! Couldn't even hit a HR. I say we cut him

[Chiefspants]

**** moose! Couldn't even hit a HR. I say we cut him

Trade him for Kolton Wong

[penbrook]

Kennedy no hitter through 3. Call your friends

[siberian khatru]

Esky over .200 for the first time since April 21

[penbrook]

Esky over .200 for the first time since April 21

He's heating up!!

[Chiefspants]

Esky over .200 for the first time since April 21

The BABIP Gods have looked down and smiled at him.

Sidenote: Whit is a sexy, sexy man.

[ChiTown]

That was a fucking shot.

Damn

[ChiTown]

back-to-back gopher balls......jfc

[Dartgod]

Geeez Kennedy, at least try to hold the lead for a couple of batters will ya?

[ChiTown]

and now a walk.:cuss:

His control has completely left him in the 4th inning

[siberian khatru]

Ian Kennedy's home run rate ... is too fucking high!

<img style="-webkit-user-select: none" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zqHZWdFVyyQ/hqdefault.jpg">

[Dartgod]

and now a walk.:cuss:

His control has completely left him in the 4th inning

To be fair, Moreland fouled off like 5 pitches in a row before walking.

[ChiTown]

To be fair, Moreland fouled off like 5 pitches in a row before walking.

I'm not talking about just the walk. I'm talking about his control in this inning. Those 2 gopher balls he served up were right in the power zones. He's thrown 30+ pitches this inning

[GloryDayz]

Where was THAT call for us you blink fucking Ump?!

[penbrook]

You piece of shit Kennedy

[PHOG]

:shake: Kennedy

[petegz28]

I see Kennedy's last outing was a fluke....

[penbrook]

Pretty good throw by Merrifield

[GloryDayz]

Kennedy better wake the fuck up and hope our bats don't turtle after what he's shown so far.

And the Ump can still go fuck himself. He sucks at his profession!

[GloryDayz]

Bye Kennedy, thanks for a JV performance today!

[penbrook]

And Cutty can't catch a fucking ball thrown to him.

[GloryDayz]

The fragile Royals vags are showing...

[mr. tegu]

Gees. You have two strikes on the batter.

[GloryDayz]

That was a very shitty inning from a groups of guys getting paid to not be shitty players..

[Dartgod]

MLB Gameday said injury delay. Who got hurt?

[GloryDayz]

MLB Gameday said injury delay. Who got hurt?

Their pitcher grabbed his shoulder. He's fine.

[penbrook]

Really Cutty? Try and dive! Terrible first baseman

[penbrook]

Red Sox announcers saying Moose wants to work out a deal and stay with the Royals. They said this is the only team he knows

[penbrook]

This ump sucks ass

[siberian khatru]

Red Sox announcers saying Moose wants to work out a deal and stay with the Royals. They said this is the only team he knows

Going off Cafardo's piece yesterday in which he put words in Moose's mouth after Moose explicitly refused to answer the question and warned him not to do that.

[penbrook]

What a at bat by Torres. This kid is the future

[Chiefspants]

What an at-bat.

Bring em' in Cool-Whit.

[penbrook]

This ump is gonna die

[SBInfinity]

Red Sox announcers saying Moose wants to work out a deal and stay with the Royals. They said this is the only team he knows

As if they know shit
sure he wants to...for the right price

[GloryDayz]

Give it to him Whit, this fucker sucks!

[penbrook]

Good hit but right at Betts

[suzzer99]

This shitty-ass ump just wants to go home from the heat. They usually don't give strikes near the top of the zone - and he calls that pitch 6" above the zone?

[Why Not?]

I'll never understand why people still are holding on to Ian Kennedy being anything more than what he is righy now. He is the definition of meh, at best. The cold reality of having to rely on this group of starting pitchers(minus Vargas and recent Hammel)is that they are not very good. Needing to have these guys keep us afloat until Duffy and the potential of Karns returns probably leaves this team closer to who they were pre west coast.

[GloryDayz]

Salvy needs to play a grooved high fastball like one that's going in the dirt outside the plate. Let the Ump eat one, it's not like he's going to call the game fair otherwise.

[Dartgod]

Yeah, that's a great way to NEVER get another call again from any ump...forever.

[Why Not?]

Need to do it here, if it is to be done. Kimbrel is a beast

[penbrook]

Hahaha Red Sox can't find the strike zone

[PHOG]

Watch your pitches Salvy!! Good eye!!

[kgrund]

Complete and total gifts.

[Why Not?]

Please don't swing at shitty pitches, Salvy

[Munson]

Sox walk the bases loaded, with no outs, and Salvy at the plate.

We need a YUGE hit!

[Chiefspants]

The Sox are begging you to take this, Royals. Finish this.

[ChiTown]

Let's Go!

[petegz28]

salvy swinging when the pitcher is trying to walk him.....a run should be in now but Salvy bailing out the pitcher

[Dartgod]

We better not fuck this up.

[Why Not?]

Pitch of the game here

[penbrook]

Perez swinging for Canada on that pitch

[siberian khatru]

Salvy should already have walked

[Munson]

YES!!!

[penbrook]

PEREZ!!!

[petegz28]

BOOM!!!!!

[Munson]

SALVY SLAM!!!!!!

[Why Not?]

Granny!!!!!!!

[PHOG]

GRAND SLAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[penbrook]

Favorite player right there

[siberian khatru]

I'll take that instead

[CaliforniaChief]

HOLY CRAP. The magic lives!

[ChiTown]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Chiefspants]

HOLY **** SAL

[CaliforniaChief]

Oh yeah, and SCREW YOU CHOWDERHEADS

[sd4chiefs]

PBJ

[penbrook]

Never ever count the Royals out.

[kgrund]

Wow. Sometimes it is better to lucky than good. Red Sox total meltdown. Just handed us the game on a silver platter.

[penbrook]

Perez is legit my favorite player. He does everything good

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Another series win.

[siberian khatru]

Highest-leverage situation in the game, but Kimbrel pitches only the 9th.

[Chiefspants]

Wow. Sometimes it is better to lucky than good. Red Sox total meltdown. Just handed us the game on a silver platter.

Sal needed to have an incredible AB and swing the bat to take the lead. Luck helps, sure, but it's all for naught of Sal misses the opportunity.

[Chiefspants]

POUR IT ON, BOYS

[Munson]

LMAO at the Moose doinker.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Now they put in their hippie

[penbrook]

Sal needed to have an incredible AB and swing the bat to take the lead. Luck helps, sure, but it's all for naught of Sal misses the opportunity.

Sal is having an amazing year in terms of batting average. He's hitting near .300

[PHOG]

Nice power Moose! LMAO

[POND_OF_RED]

[Chiefspants]

Sal is having an amazing year in terms of batting average. He's hitting near .300

He usually wears down after the ASB due to Yost running him to the ground... I'm hopeful they use a floating DH this year to prevent that. This is a different team when Salvy's a Silver Slugger at the plate.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Wow. Sometimes it is better to lucky than good. Red Sox total meltdown. Just handed us the game on a silver platter.

Stop pretending to be a Royals fan.

[kgrund]

Sal needed to have an incredible AB and swing the bat to take the lead. Luck helps, sure, but it's all for naught of Sal misses the opportunity.

Seriously. He had to know what was coming on a 3-2 count with bases loaded. Was not the hardest situation to be in at that posin. Good for us, but to say they did not hand us the game is foolish. We were lucky that two consecutive Red Sox pitchers did not even make us work to load the bases.

[Chiefspants]

Stop pretending to be a Royals fan.

He's one of those odd Chiefs fans who have felt threatened and resentful by the Royals' success.

[siberian khatru]

Now to sweat out Herrera

[penbrook]

Now we gotta deal with Herrera. Fuck

[petegz28]

Fuck, here we go....Kelvin shaky

[C3HIEF3S]

Buckle up, fellas.

[siberian khatru]

Jesus

[CasselGotPeedOn]

He's one of those odd Chiefs fans who have felt threatened and resentful by the Royals' success.

Read some of his posts about the Royals. There is no way this turd is a Royals fan.

[PHOG]

Well, here we go....damn Herrera.

[Why Not?]

This fucker just can't throw a clean inning, can he?

[C3HIEF3S]

It's not even just his slider, opponents are teeing off on his fastball as well. That double was off of a 100 mph heater down the pipe.

[penbrook]

101 MPH!!

[KCCHIEFS27]

Pretty easy to hit a fastball right down the middle

[Chiefspants]

Okay. Herrera is still concerning, but seeing 101 from him again is something I wasn't sure I'd see again.

[siberian khatru]

Keep him in the park, Kelvin

[Why Not?]

Damn! Do that more, Kelvin!

[siberian khatru]

Thank God!

[penbrook]

Kelvin was throwing Heat!!

[Munson]

Great win.

[PHOG]

What a win!! :clap::clap: :thumb::thumb:

[petegz28]

well that's just fucking awesome...Kennedy needs to be sucking the collective Boston bullpen's cock ....

[Spott]

Suck it Boston.

[Chiefspants]

Incredible win. I'm now 1-1 all time on Gamethreads yo! You're welcome.

[GloryDayz]

Yay us.

[PHOG]

Red Sux' first loss when leading after the 7th this year, :)

[ChiTown]

LMFAO at Sal. Awesome!

[suzzer99]

Wow. Sometimes it is better to lucky than good. Red Sox total meltdown. Just handed us the game on a silver platter.

Well we got a little unlucky on Whit's liner the previous inning.

[penbrook]

LMFAO at Sal. Awesome!

What happened

[alpha_omega]

:thumb::thumb:

[penbrook]

Red Sux' first loss when leading after the 7th this year, :)

And we snapped the Astros 11 game win streak. We love snapping streaks

[suzzer99]

Highest-leverage situation in the game, but Kimbrel pitches only the 9th.

Don't want to get in their domes. Better leave in the guy who threw 11 straight balls.

[MTG#10]

Turned this game on in the 7th, didn't have much hope but glad I did. This almost makes up for missing Berry's first career INT against the Jags because I was taking a leak at Arrowhead but not quite.

[SBInfinity]

what a beautiful and epic meltdown

I was listening in the car and Denny Matthews called the grand slam as if it was a soft ground out to 2nd
I thought he fell asleep while the ball was in the air

[penbrook]

How did Salvy know the splash was coming? He ducked at the latest possible moment

[Chiefspants]

That also felt like karmic retribution for Aaron Crow serving up that devastating go-ahead grand slam against the Sox during the playoff run in 2014.

[SBInfinity]

How did Salvy know the splash was coming? He ducked at the latest possible moment

cuz he's salvy, that's how

[KCUnited]

That also felt like karmic retribution for Aaron Crow serving up that devastating go-ahead grand slam against the Sox during the playoff run in 2014.

Or that Nava Boston Bombing 3-run go ahead bomb in 2013.

[KChiefs1]

Sox walk the bases loaded, with no outs, and Salvy at the plate.



We need a YUGE hit!

Salvy is the definition of clutch

[big nasty kcnut]

Salvy is amazing!

[petegz28]

Ironically the worst HR hitting team with the best bullpen, hit a shit load of HR's and their bullpen choked....

Dat's a base-a-bol

He grounded into a triple play

[SAUTO]

Salvy should already have walked

ROFL

I watched it on the dvr, ROFL fuck you guys, and THEN started reading this thread.


Thank god he didn't walk already, huh? Lol

Lost in the Salvy GS, Ian Kennedy had a crappy outing. Still a great win, but Kennedy, woof.

[suzzer99]

How did Salvy know the splash was coming? He ducked at the latest possible moment

Probably saw it in the cameraman's reaction, or people behind him.

[Titty Meat]

This little run says it all about the character of these guys regardless of what happens going forward

[Munson]

For anyone that missed the Salvy slam, they're replaying the game on FSKC and its the bottom of the 8th inning.

[The Franchise]

He hit it with Miguel Cabreras bat that was left at the stadium.

[Al Bundy]

BTW looked like there were a slot of shit ass fuck face Patriots fans in attendance.
