I thought the Royals couldn't tweak a group of fans any better than they did the Orioles.

Then the Bluejays came along. So THAT'S the height of brittle fandom in baseball, is it?

Nope, then the Mets happened.

Still, though, these Orioles fans will always have a place in my heart.

Ned said his coaches liked LoCain in the No. 2 spot to get his speed near the top. Ned agreed.

Melky is here. Will interview him soon but quickly asked him about return & he said "Very happy." Also referred to Hosmer as "Mi hermano."

ErIc Hosmer says Melky showed him the ropes as a rookie in 2011 and is so highly respected because of his work ethic and ability to have fun

[penbrook]

Josh Vernier @JoshVernier610
On this date in 2011, Duffy made the start w/ Melky, Gordo, Moose, Hos & Esky in lineup and Soria in the pen. Six years later, same. #Royals

You're fucking trolling me, right?

[BlackHelicopters]

You're fucking trolling me, right?

Please Dart.

[Archie F. Swin]

I used to look forward to the Royals being at Camden Yards based solely on the fact that Gordo made Eutaw Street his bitch.

Maybe he'll play inspired tonight

[Dartgod]

:clap:

Please stop.

Please...

[BlackHelicopters]

For all that is Holy and Almighty.

[BlackHelicopters]

Use the power. MU?

[Dartgod]

Use the power. MU?

No, we don't use that any more and I wouldn't in this case anyway.

In the grand scheme of things, this isn't all that big of a deal. There are no rules against what he is doing. But it's always been considered bad form around here to not link your source when posting content from outside the walls of CP.

There.

Funny, not.

[penbrook]

Melky has a very low strikeout rate

[BlackHelicopters]

Thanks Dart.

[BlackHelicopters]

Milky looking not good.

[penbrook]

What a shitty trade for Melky

[penbrook]

Pay that man!!

[Dartgod]

There ya go Hos!

[Spott]

Nice 2 out RBI.

[KCUnited]

Melks been half assing it in Chicago for awhile. Probably take him a bit to get back into baseball shape.

[tk13]

That ball was 93 mph at his eyes.

[RealSNR]

Is there anybody in that shitty ballpark?

[KChiefs1]

Melks been half assing it in Chicago for awhile. Probably take him a bit to get back into baseball shape.


Ask Vargas about that.

[penbrook]

Melks been half assing it in Chicago for awhile. Probably take him a bit to get back into baseball shape.

Yea because going 4-4 vs Kluber is half assing it

[eDave]

Funny, not.

Sorry man. Was actually trying to help... I'm so misunderstood. :(

Think I'll take a break from here for a bit.

[penbrook]

Moose missed him

[C3HIEF3S]

God the Orioles are a joke. How do you not challenge that?

[RealSNR]

Ugh. He's safe.

[eDave]

Moose missed him

I can't believe they didn't challenge that. JFC. LMAO

[RealSNR]

Wooot! Thanks, Orioles!

[tk13]

Have the Orioles just given up? That makes no sense.

[big nasty kcnut]

In it to win it.

[eDave]

Ubaldo sucks ass on 4d rest. 1-5, 10+ ERA.

[penbrook]

Have the Orioles just given up? That makes no sense.

I'm listening to Os broadcast and they think that the additions of Tim Beckham and Jeremy Helloclson means that they are in it to win it. Idk if they were joking or not

[Dartgod]

Wow, Cain!!

[eDave]

Cain!

FU Orioles.

[penbrook]

Okay Cain is definently back

[lewdog]

This 4 pm starts are a bitch!

I am here late.

Sorry.

CAIN!!!!!!!!!!

[PunkinDrublic]

I got the Indians game on ESPN. Red Sox just escaped a tough inning. Still scoreless.

[BWillie]

Now that is our best player! Lo Cain! What a great grab. He can play defense are real, non mickey mouse fields.

[penbrook]

Cain loves playing at Camden Yards

[suzzer99]

Lol at Hud holding a grudge over a great catch.

[suzzer99]

How the fuck was that not a strike?

[Dartgod]

Duffy seems to be struggling with location right now.

[eDave]

Cleveland missed both runners on a DP attempt.

Thanks for the heads up re: ESPN PunkinDrublic.

EDIT: Force at 2nd was overturned. Bullshit review. Clearly off the bag. Whatever.

[penbrook]

Cleveland missed both runners on a DP attempt.

Thanks for the heads up re: ESPN PunkinDrublic.

Or not

[Spott]

Duffy struggling a little, but so far so good.

[penbrook]

Gordon heating up!!

[eDave]

2-0 Redsox.

[PunkinDrublic]

2-0 Red Sox! Mookie Betts with the RBI!

[penbrook]

2-0 Redsox.

:clap:

[penbrook]

That'll work Whit

[eDave]

Ha. Most wouldn't take 3rd there. Love the aggression. They know they got a minor leaguer on the mound right now.

[KCUnited]

Gordon flexing his Corporate Challenge speed.

[gblowfish]

So I guess Alex figures he better start hitting now? Good.

[penbrook]

Since 2013 Royals are second best in the AL in wins. 1st are the Indians

[eDave]

Cleveland sucks ass today.

[gblowfish]

Time for a Melky ribbie....

[suzzer99]

Since 2013 Royals are second best in the AL in wins. 1st are the Indians

Eastern Division is like the SECe - so good they beat themselves up. ROFLROFLROFL

[penbrook]

Indians Catcher just just threw a ball trying to get the runner out at second when it was a walk and the runner advanced to third. Epic fail!!

[penbrook]

Eastern Division is like the SECe - so good they beat themselves up. ROFLROFLROFL

Os are third best

[petegz28]

wasting chances...

[C3HIEF3S]

EDIT: I am a dumb ass!

[Dartgod]

It's going to take more than 1 run to win in this band box.

[eDave]

3-0 BOS. 4th was thrown out at the plate to end the inning.

[Dartgod]

Duffy better get his control under...control.

[PunkinDrublic]

3-0 BOS. 4th was thrown out at the plate to end the inning.

Looks like they're getting to Clevinger early. Hopefully Boston can keep this up.

[petegz28]

JFC UMP!

[Dartgod]

This ump is a dick.

[Jerok]

Thank God the Indians are finally facing a team that can beat them. Let's not screw this up. I want to be leading the division by Sunday.

[penbrook]

The ump blind?

[C3HIEF3S]

Human element!!

[eDave]

Looks like they're getting to Clevinger early. Hopefully Boston can keep this up.

Were any of them earned runs? Cleveland handed them that inning. It was odd.

[petegz28]

Ball 1 looked like a swing and ball 2 was right down the middle of the plate...

[KCUnited]

Honestly one of the worst misses I've seen.

[petegz28]

And of course, the fucker gets on.....you don't get any more lucky than that AB...5 strikes and a weak infield single

[eDave]

Esky was in front of that. User your glove man.

[PunkinDrublic]

Were any of them earned runs? Cleveland handed them that inning. It was odd.

They were line drives over the 3rd base line. It looks like they are seeing Clevengers pitches well because they're making solid contract.

[eDave]

They were line drives over the 3rd base line. It looks like they are seeing Clevengers pitches well because they're making solid contract.

Yea. They are hammering him. Just banged one off the scoreboard.

It's the missed DP and the throw to 2nd that gave them the runs.

[Dartgod]

Why are we making this turd look like a good pitcher?

[Spott]

Why would Moss get a green light on a 3-0 count?

[ChiTown]

Ubaldo Jimenez is complete garbage. We should be run-ruling this asshole.

[penbrook]

Why are we making this turd look like a good pitcher?

We always seem to make shitty pitchers look like Cy Young and good pitchers we make them look so hittable

[penbrook]

This ump is inconsistent

[eDave]

BOS adds another. 4-0.

Runners on 2nd and 3rd. No outs

Royals need to score some freaking runs.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Fuckin A Gordon

[penbrook]

This ump is clearly on the Os side

[PunkinDrublic]

BOS adds another. 4-0 Runners on 2nd and 3rd. No outs

Royals need to score some freaking runs.

Looks like Cleveland is going to pull Clevenger early. I'm liking this.

[tk13]

The Orioles didn't make a move because they traded for a secret weapon, the butterfly.

[Dartgod]

Struck out the side. Fucking pitiful.

[BlackHelicopters]

Making a bum look like CY Young

[eDave]

Whoops.

[ChiTown]

JFC - YOU BALD HO JIMMY HENS. Seriously?

[BlackHelicopters]

Haven't seen that in a while.

[PunkinDrublic]

5-0 Red Sox with 1 out!

[CasselGotPeedOn]

What do ya know? Cleveland actually has to play a real team and they're getting bukkaked.

[penbrook]

Making a bum look like CY Young

That's what we do best!!

[GloryDayz]

Note to self.... MC's speed isn't up there with Gore's.

[penbrook]

ROFLNote to self.... MC's speed isn't up there with Gore's.

[BWillie]

Danny getting hit pretty good. But always gets to 2 outs and shuts it down.

[ChiTown]

But of course.....

[eDave]

erggwerry4556wytgagr452656

[penbrook]

Of course! 1 run isn't gonna do it

[eDave]

Of course! 1 run isn't gonna do it

All three of our earlier series games with them were won by one point.

[ChiTown]

All three of our earlier series games with them were won by one point.

Point?

[eDave]

Point?

One.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Strike zone is bullshit

[penbrook]

All three of our earlier series games with them were won by one point.

We playing football or basketball?

[KChiefs1]

Ubaldo Jimenez is complete garbage. We should be run-ruling this asshole.



He's Scherzer tonight.

[eDave]

We playing football or basketball?

I'm just saying we should expect a close game! Gosh!

[Dartgod]

Point?

I think his point is that they were all close games. Like this one.

[KChiefs1]

I'm just saying we should expect a close game! Gosh!


We need to score more points.

[ChiTown]

I think his point is that they were all close games. Like this one.

ROFL

[penbrook]

At least Hosmer decided to show up

[lewdog]

I will point out that there are less bitches in here tonight than previous nights.

[penbrook]

I wonder what Boni is thinking right now seeing melky go 0-3 so far

[ChiTown]

U BALD HO had a similar outing against Toronto about a month ago, but generally speaking, he's been complete ass.

[Dartgod]

Good quick inning. Duffman can go another inning now.


Can we please put up a crooked number against this turd?

[Dartgod]

And Moose swings at ball 4.

[Al Bundy]

That was a really bad at bat for Moose.

[ChiTown]

:shake:

[KChiefs1]

That was a really bad at bat for Moose.


He needs another day off.

[penbrook]

And Moose swings at one at his hands

[ChiTown]

Come on Esky. Gap one and get Mosss in!

[TomBarndtsTwin]

What a giant offensive turd we are laying tonight . . . . and against freaking Ubaldo Jimenez of all people.

Just awful.

[Dartgod]

Turrible. Just turrible.

[penbrook]

What a giant offensive turd we are laying tonight . . . . and against freaking Ubaldo Jimenez of all people.

Jimenez has basically shut us down, so what's it matter at this point?

[mr. tegu]

Okay it's time to quit screwing around. Let's score some runs.

[TLO]

Duffy is pitching beautifully tonight.

[Spott]

Time to score and get this thing over with.

[penbrook]

I'm done with Gordon

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Vintage Alex no swing at bat

[Coach]

Sweet. Alex got dominated....

[RealSNR]

What the fuck were you looking at, Alex?

[Al Bundy]

Givens is filthy.

[penbrook]

We just suck! Time to release everyone and start playing the AAA players

[ChiTown]

doesn't matter who they throw out there tonight. We are completely infected with THE AIDS

[penbrook]

Moylan is nails!!

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Did Melky bring AIDS with him over from the White Sux?

WTF!?!


It's like we're back in April again.

[baitism]

Did Melky bring AIDS with him over from the White Sux?

Dog bowls next to the workout mats. Interesting..

[Coach]

Damn, that pitch is practically unhittable as a RH batter.

[penbrook]

Moylan should be the closer

[ChiTown]

Dog bowls next to the workout mats. Interesting..

When thee isn't water in their bowl, the dogs find other things to lap up...

[GloryDayz]

Sweet. Alex got dominated....

It certainly lends some level of credence to the argument that once they get paid they get lazy...

[Coach]

Moylan should be the closer

Not going to happen.

He's strictly a ROOGY.

Well maybe he should stick to sweeping out the clubhouse.

[PunkinDrublic]

6-0 Red Sox

[GloryDayz]

Everyone says Alex is one of the hardest workers in the club house

Certainly a plus when you're on-field play isn't all that and a bag of cash.

[jimidollar]

Okay, it's winning time.

Wow....

That's a huge break.

[penbrook]

Right through the glove!

Ahahahahaha

[RealSNR]

Will take it

Come on, Hos! Make them pay

Yikes.

I laffed

[tk13]

Britton throws bowling balls up there. You're not expecting to hit HRs off the guy.

[petegz28]

So if we aren't strtiking out we are hitting into a dp....

This should be a fun bottom ninth

[Spott]

Way to swing at ball 4.

[ChiTown]

Yeah, I'm not real comfortable with this particular matchup

[lewdog]

Hopefully Soria doesn't quit on us tonight.

[Coach]

Yeah, I'm not real comfortable with this particular matchup

Very lucky to get away with those first two pitches....

[TomBarndtsTwin]

5 hits in 30 AB's against the Baltimore Orioles . . . . . awful.

Come on Soria. Try not to blow it and at least get us to extra innings.

[Coach]

*exhale*

[Coach]

5 hits in 30 AB's against the Baltimore Orioles . . . . . awful.

Come on Soria. Try not to blow it and at least get us to extra innings.

Especially against a pitcher who got lit up like a Christmas tree in his last 3 games, and the MLB's worst bullpen....

[penbrook]

I just worry about Sorias walks but him blowing 7 saves for second most in the MLBisnt good either

[penbrook]

Especially against a pitcher who got lit up like a Christmas tree in his last 3 games, and the MLB's worst bullpen....

Ummm worst bullpen??

[penbrook]

This ump ��

[Coach]

Ummm worst bullpen??

Outside of Givens and Britton.

[ChiTown]

Outside of Givens and Britton.

And Brach

[GloryDayz]

Poop..

[mr. tegu]

Classic Soria inning so far. Good pitches for the most part, a jam hit, then a solid hit.

[penbrook]

Come on Soria

[GloryDayz]

Soria things...

[eDave]

Cleveland heating up.

[KChiefs1]

Sorry is going to kill me.

[ChiTown]

FUCK YOU, SORIA!

Fuck Soria.

I want him gone.

[eDave]

Knew that was coming.

Fuck man.

[GloryDayz]

Soria things...

I nailed it... As usual.. Soria is the next "change the channel" pitcher after Young.

[penbrook]

On the bright side Soria now leads the MLB in blown saves

[Al Bundy]

Damn... hate not giving a good pitcher a chance.

[ChiefsCountry]

Weak ass singles.

Maurer needs to start getting the high leverage situations.

No fucking reason for Soria there anymore.

[siberian khatru]

That's a well-deserved, big fat L.

And fucking Soria, man. Jesus, if he gives up contact he just gets eaten up.

[Spott]

Soria is such a piece of shit. Always has been and always will be.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Thanks Soria.

Fuckstick.

Fuck you Soria

Fucking Yost. No reason to not use Maurer there.

[GloryDayz]

Damn... hate not giving a good pitcher a chance.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[penbrook]

He leads the MLB in blown saves now!!

[lewdog]

1 run against Jimenez though?!?!

Offense can take this loss.

[jimidollar]

Not even mad. Par for the course with this clown.

[Best22]

Soria is soft. Need a new 8th inning man if we are serious about winning. Maurer was a closer and has 20 saves. He should be comfortable in the 8th inning spot. If not Maurer then Moylan
No toughness no championship

[GloryDayz]

1 run against Jiminez though?!?!

Offense can take this loss.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ too..

[KCCHIEFS27]

He leads the MLB in blown saves now!!

That's not a blown save though.
