**** Official Royals vs Indians GDT - 8/27 ****

[Bearcat]

A place where we can make up narratives about "trying" while prematurely announcing the outcome of a game or season from the comfort of our couch with an alcoholic beverage in hand.

[Bearcat]

Game over, no effort.

[TLO]

Season's over

[Al Bundy]

2-0 seems like 10-0 with this offense right now.

[Deberg_1990]

No thanks

[Bearcat]

15-0

[PHOG]

:facepalm: Whoo boy.

[Al Bundy]

Fuck it.. the Indians are better than the Royals. From the Manager down.

[KCUnited]

Inmen's deck thinks this team is toast.

[GloryDayz]

Why is it that we tend to be hitting teams that are "hot" on such a regular basis since the break? Perhaps it's not that they're as red hot as their series wins might suggest, perhaps more of a relative temperature difference. But hey, we took the series against the Rockies...

The Royals are a hard team to watch since the break. They just seem to have no heart. Perhaps they're beat up and it's affecting their ability to play, but either way it's hard to watch, especially the pitching.

[Deberg_1990]

The Royals are a hard team to watch since the break. They just seem to have no heart.

This is silly.

The simple explanation is they are not all that good. They pitching is blah and certainly no where near effective as it was a few years ago. They get almost nothing offensively from the DH and the LF hitters most nights.

[Best22]

Oh well. Atleast we got a ring. Indians haven't won one in 70 years

Just sayin'

[GloryDayz]

This is silly.

The simple explanation is they are not all that good. They pitching is blah and certainly no where near effective as it was a few years ago. They get almost nothing offensively from the DH and the LF hitters most nights.

The break individually made each/most of them not very good? We get the bad April, but what happened at the break Mr. SillyPants?

And yes, it's both pitching and hitting. But look at Skoglund, playing in the bigs and leaving almost everything up.

As for the batting, that's all the more ridiculous.

And yes, this team is made up of guys who are not very good right now. And they are emotionally fragile evidently.

[GloryDayz]

Wow...

Oh, and another "hot team" comment/excuse...

[GloryDayz]

LOL.... What else can you do but laugh.

[Best22]

Wth was skoglund pitching?


Soria and Kennedy are thieves

Atleast Gordon plays defense and had memorable moments (WS Homer)

[GloryDayz]

Well, that's all the more funny...

[Al Bundy]

It will take the Royals 2 fucking weeks to score 12 runs.

[Best22]

It will take the Royals 2 ****ing weeks to score 12 runs.

Offense was red hot not to long ago

Problem was our pitching allowed 9 runs per game

Kennedy needs to be cut to send a message

[tk13]

Got them right where we want them. A touchdown and field goal and we're right back in this thing.

Royals pitching has some room to improve..

[GloryDayz]

Over/Under on 3-up/3-down?

No need to go to that extreme. Ned just needs to chew some ass in the dugout and we'll be fine.

One thing this season has done is made it very clear who all the dumbasses around here are.

[GloryDayz]

Over/Under on 3-up/3-down?

I was dead wrong, 4-up/3-down!!! And no runs...

And Alex whiffs, and walks away with his patented "oh well, I'm fucking rich" look on his face.

[GloryDayz]

No need to go to that extreme. Ned just needs to chew some ass in the dugout and we'll be fine.

Why would Ned chew any ass?

[Bearcat]

No need to go to that extreme. Ned just needs to chew some ass in the dugout and we'll be fine.

I just saw Hosmer smile, he clearly doesn't care!!!

[GloryDayz]

I just saw Hosmer smile, he clearly doesn't care!!!

I think he cares. But that might just be me.

[Al Bundy]

Hey the Royals held them scoreless.

[GloryDayz]

Hos smiling again. He's a gamer...

[thebrad84]

Fuck, at this point they just need to put Ventura out there to eat some innings up. Save the bullpen for tomorrow.

[ChiTown]

****, at this point they just need to put Ventura out there to eat some innings up. Save the bullpen for tomorrow.

say what?

[WhawhaWhat]

****, at this point they just need to put Ventura out there to eat some innings up. Save the bullpen for tomorrow.

Try again.

[thebrad84]

say what?

What, is he still on the DL?

[Bearcat]

Dude.

[lewdog]

What, is he still on the DL?

Neg rep.

[ChiTown]

****, at this point they just need to put Ventura out there to eat some innings up. Save the bullpen for tomorrow.

Oooooooooooooh. I get it now. You're just being a douche. Now it makes sense.

[Al Bundy]

What, is he still on the DL?

Douche

[Prison Bitch]

Are we still catching Cleveland?

[BlackHelicopters]

Just checking in. Now checking out.

[Bearcat]

Just checking in. Now checking out.

[BlackHelicopters]

Playoffs. Playoffs?

[lewdog]

Are we still catching Cleveland?

I haven't seen anyone say we are catching Cleveland in the past two weeks.

They're right.

[Prison Bitch]

I haven't seen anyone say we are catching Cleveland in the past two weeks.

They're right.

We were never catching them

[Bearcat]

I haven't seen anyone say we are catching Cleveland in the past two weeks.

They're right.

8-27 before today, and 7 of the 8 were in one game.

[Bearcat]

And I had actually read 'catching' like, you know, in the butt....

[SAUTO]

What, is he still on the DL?

Bye.

[lewdog]

We were never catching them

Agreed.

Sad!!!

[KChiefs1]

Season's over


August is looking like April.

Yuck.

[ChiefsCountry]

Cleveland thumped Omaha pitching today.

[kgrund]

Will the Totals burn their softball unis after this one?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

But Yost says Cleveland might lose for a week straight and we might win for a week straight and it will all be OK.

[kgrund]

Not Totals but Totals.:)

[GloryDayz]

We're down to six out, that's 2 runs per out (to tie it up).. We can do this. Go team.

[Demonpenz]

all we need is a a blook and a blast blast blast blast blast blast blast blast blast blast blast blast blast

[GloryDayz]

Will they send Esky? Drama!

[GloryDayz]

Ah, Gordon is up....

[GloryDayz]

"Gave up some runs...." Only our Hud can put positive spin on a situation like this.

[Prison Bitch]

Have we ever been shut out in a series?


This might be a new low

[ptlyon]

Guess this wasn't the day to wear my "Hunt for blue October" t-shirt :doh!:

[baitism]

I'm ready to clear house after this season, starting with DM all the way down. We need coaches who can actually develop pitchers.

[Jerok]

DM traded away many, many pitchers and got us a World Series in less than 10 years from when he started.

I don't know about you, but i'll give him another go round.

[Prison Bitch]

Royals tie franchise record 32 straight scoreless


With the hapless 104 loss 2004 garbage squad

The key is to overreact as much as possible, and I'm not sure your plan does that.

Move the team to St. Louis, they'll support two teams better than KC can support one, and their fans understand the last World Series doesn't mean jack shit compared to the next one.

[GloryDayz]

Very charitable play on the part of a Royal.

[GloryDayz]

Three shutouts. No sprinkles... LMAO

[lewdog]

The worst series we've played in years.

WOOF.

[GloryDayz]

Could we be under-reacting, is that even possible?

It's all good, not to worry...

[Best22]

Dayton Moore decisions sunk this team. Deserves credit for the championship, as blame for recent failures.

[Bowser]

Agreed

[GloryDayz]

True. And the Championship is what he was hired for. So that was cool..

[Bearcat]

Yeah, sometimes it works out and other times it doesn't... welcome to sports. This season is the latter, so fire everyone.

[GloryDayz]

Ned's presser was kind of funny. I think he's a man without any answers.

[Prison Bitch]

Scratch that. SET the record

[lewdog]

Ned's presser was kind of funny. I think he's a man without any answers.

There aren't any.

He's got 3/4 of his roster who can't hit.

And 3/4 of his arms who can't pitch.

Can't blame that on the manager.

[ChiefsCountry]

Ventura getting drunk and dying ruined the pitching staff for this season. Most of the rotation problems would have been avoided this year.

[Molitoth]

Dayton Moore decisions sunk this team. Deserves credit for the championship, as blame for recent failures.

Meh, he tried at least.

If Dayton would have not made any moves at the deadline, everyone would be calling for his head.
