Hoo boy

[TomBarndtsTwin]

A game thread?

And an Al North sighting all at once??


Is the apocalypse coming . . . . . . .

[MVChiefFan]

This changes everything!!!

[CaliforniaChief]

Good to see! Brings back great memories!!!

[RealSNR]

Can you change the thread title to the New Yank Yorkies?

[Why Not?]

Now we gonna win out.

[alnorth]

Can you change the thread title to the New Yank Yorkies?

I almost did that, but its been so long since I did a game thread, that I decided I'd do this one straight with no nonsense.

[alnorth]

They are probably going to get the game in because the radar looks pretty good tonight, but the weather is going to be annoying for a while.

[alnorth]

A game thread?

And an Al North sighting all at once??

I am tentatively planning to do at least one game thread per week for the rest of the season, hopefully more than that. (I won't be able to do any other days with the Yankees this weekend, I am entertaining guests this weekend)

[Jerok]

First game thread in months and the game is delayed? Strong CPing

[Why Not?]

Very CP

[BWillie]

Nedgar's love affair with his illegitimate lovechild Alcides Escobar continues. Forcing our rising star of the future to play out of position at 2B. Because, fuck that guy, I guess?

[alnorth]

welp... bang that drum. Today's game has been postponed. We will have a day night double header tomorrow.

I'll do another game thread next week.

[eDave]

A for effort.

[CaliforniaChief]

LMAO

[alnorth]

I seriously thought about doing a double header game thread tomorrow, but I just cant do it.

Tomorrow will feature a really awesome UFC fight night, and I'm going to have to hold my friends/guests hands through why they should care about who wins and loses each fight. I'll be back with the Royals probably Tuesday when they play against those dirty cheating southsiders, the White Sox.
