Let's get some positive vibes going guys. We don't need any negativity messing up this streak!

:clap:

Just something to get our minds off of Spunk and n00bs till the game.

Yes, a Manning video to bring the good juju!

It's kinda like some reverse-psychology type of crazy stuff.

is it much of a fantasy to think we will win and the A's will lose?

also this juju didn't last long so if this happens tonight this is on someone else:

I get a sense the Tigers must feel like the guy that just went over the top with the Royals being everyone else

It seems like the majority of the time when I decide to go up to the bar so I can actually see the game they end up losing. So I am glad the noob started the game thread; I can indulge in my desire to watch tonight and be completely off the hook should things go wrong.

Just saw on MLB that when the Royals hit a HR, we are winning at a .776 pct.

That's better than my .720 pct while watching them.

We need to hit a HR or two tonight while I watch them!

I'm IN Oakland for work and plan to hit a sports bar to watch the game. I too will be off the hook if things go awry.

Damn, be careful if we win!


FTM, be careful anyways!

In Oakland. Ugh. Stay safe, my friend. You are a pilgrim in an unholy land.

Hope he took some quality disinfectant along as well......

I'm actually about 45 miles NE of Oakland, but close enough to smell the stench.

anywhere to stream the game since i dont have cable?

Royals acquire josh willingham

Royals acquired OF Josh Willingham from the Twins in exchange for RHP Jason Adam.

Willingham figures to share designated hitter duties with Raul Ibanez while Billy Butler mans first base with Eric Hosmer (hand) out. The 35-year-old has hit just .209/.343/.380 since the beginning of last season but has slugged 26 homers over 613 at-bats. He'll give the Royals some extra pop down the stretch.

I love you Dayton Moore

So, we like this move? Yes?

If it means the end of the Ibanez era I'm all for it.

I don't hate it.

Love the willingham move for sure.

Would love to see him return to 2012 form...... we could use a guy that has popped 35 dingers before in a season.

Crow ?

Hopefully Downs.

Yes, please. I never understood why in tarnation they got him anyway.

So was Willingham about to be placed on waivers?

I don't understand how we made a trade after the trade deadline had passed. :shrug:

(Yes I'm a n00b)

Go Pirates!

He was placed on waivers and the Royals claimed him and worked out a trade, I believe.

Pirates up 4-1 in the 1st inning with JV on the mound for the kitties.

Marte belts a 3 run triple to put the Pirates up 3 to 1.

Now 4-1 pirates

Pirates up 4-1 in the 1st.

This win is huge for Guthrie and more importantly the Royals

28 pitches for JV in 1/3 of an inning.

Pen is getting loose.. after a 19 game inning last night.

What?

5-1 Pirates.

What?

Guthrie isn't pitching tonig

He pitches better when we're on winning streaks :D

Uhhhhh..... Okay....?

Willingham has some pop.

Good move!!!

Verlander gives up 5 runs on 40 pitches in the 1st inning vs the Pirates. Better hope he throws 130 pitches to save that pen tonight.

Too many 120 pitch games for Verlander

Did anyone just see that play in the O's game...? Typical 1st and 3rd situation.

Verlander has thrown 40 pitches through one inning. Keep taxing that crapass bulpen

I'm not worried about this series, we seem to play good baseball vs top tier teams, I'm worried about the Twins O_O

Hosed.

The Pirates starting pitcher is trying to give it all back

Not a huge fan of the Willingham deal. His July and August stats are abysmal. Hope that changes due to meaningful baseball being playe.

Tigers go out in a F7-2 Dbl Play

Love that shit!

New pitcher now for Detroit....to start their 2nd inning

Love it.

Pirates score again!

Pirates up 8-1

You stay away from Lilly, Discus. She's mine.

Verlander is getting shelled and they don't have much of a BP after yesterday's game. Wonder if they let Verlander wear it all and save the BP for later.

Verlander out after one inning.

Nope :thumb:

:hail: :hail: :hail:

Miller in for Detroit & getting hammered.

The best.

And thanks Twins!

10 pages before the first pitch? WTF is going on??????

I know. A detriot loss is just as awesome as a royals win right now.

Tonight and this series needs to be a statement game\series.....we're for real, we don't care WTF we play, we are going to win

Damn I just saw the score, didn't realize they already changed pitchers. Blow up that ****ing bullpen Tigers!!

Wow this is great. Tigers getting beat down. Verlander can't even go more than 1 inning anymore. We acquire Willingham....wonderful day. Now we just have to win baby.

WTF was that pitch, Ump?

2 pages for us 1337 folk. n00b!!!

Strikes.

Give fat ass the gold glove.

Snagged that like it was nuffin'.

Butler with a nice grab and a smile
