STFU

They have oil.


Lots and lots of oil.

I'll gladly exchange boring cowtown for that absolute mess of a shit-hole. Believe me, I've spent more time in HOU than any other City that I've never lived in. The only redeeming features are that they have NBA basketball and they are on the water. Besides that, ugh.

George Brett's HR in game 3 of the 1980 ALCS off of Gossage.
I still remember that one like it was this afternoon. Beautiful feeling.

"well it was fun being in the ALCS for about 10 minutes."

Can they please pitch Gregerson again? He is the same ball of shit that the Royals got to face last year in the Wildcard late with Oakland. Please please pitch him again. We will light his punk ass up.

That would be #2 in my opinion. That Brett bomb off Gossage sent us to the WS. The WC GAME would be #3, and today's game #4. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats '85 Game 6.

Today was a brilliant example of everything great about sports: excruciating lows and unbelievable highs. The staggering thing for KC fans is that we end with the latter...once again.

Yosted.

Because there is no extra day. You win you go on you don't you don't.

Madsen is garbage.

It blows that Tim Collins got injured. We could really use him now instead of Madsen.

Read way too much of that thread - we take for granted the level of baseball knowledge shared even in our GDT's. Disappointing read from a baseball perspective, however Astro tears taste delicious.

Not sure it's a huge deal. Not sure I know what it means either though.

Was told that McCullers doing the throat slash was a primary piece of Moustakas's expletive-filled motivational speech before the start of the 8th inning.

Fired those guys up. A lot.

Gangster throat slice

Moose? Doesn't seem like the type, but I like it.

All I can say is, Thanks, Rookie!

He has always seemed firey to me

I agree with those rankings.

I still have all of those recorded too. I need to transfer the beta & vhs tapes to DVD.

Weren't there some good come backs in the 70s playoffs as well? I guess not good enough to send us to the next level.

No, no he's not. He's our 2nd best reliever, actually. Guys have bad days. It happens all the time.

Anyone watching the Cubs/Cards game should give a silent thanks to Eric Hosmer's ball-digging skills.

Calling him trash is rediculous. The Astros are on fire and we did what needed to be done.

Game 5 of the 76 ALCS @Yankee Stadium. Royals are down 6-3 in the top of the 8th. Brett hits a 3-run bomb off Grant Jackson to tie the game. What a moment for the young Royals.....only to have their heart ripped out in the 9th by the epic Chambliss bomb of Mark Littell

Yeah that's not gonna make any great comeback top ten lists.

That's cute, a guy named Lance, trying to act gangsta.

Gotta give props to Rios. His leadoff base hit was big in the 8th.

Rios is still an $11 mil pile of shit. But good job there. ��

Madson isn't garbage, but I also can't say I'm that comfortable with him in there either I personally trust Herrera more in big situations, but they aren't separated by much.

thanks, Obama Yost.

Wait, sorry. I'm slow apparently. Volquez gave the throat slash gesture after 17 outs? That doesn't make sense. Sorry for dumb questions...

Never mind, I read the rest of the thread. I understand now.

So...anything neat happen today?

I'm rewatching the 8th inning for the first of many many times.

Still can't believe we witnessed that today.

ROFL

That was classic.

Pray harder next time Stros fans!

Great day Great night seeing the Cards suck it in Chicago.

That douche Jason La Canfora dropped this gem just before the 8th inning today. Needless to say he was absolutely destroyed 45 mins later.

Announcers are really freaking easy on Correa during the 8th. SHOCKED that ball that was right in his glove if he just watched it in would be ruled an error.

Royals raped every Orioles fan with a barbwire dildo filled with AIDs last year in the playoffs. The butt hurt is glorious to see.

Why does this guy hate the Royals?

Orioles fan

I honestly see us rolling these guys on Wednesday. Obviously we have to TCOB, but it's hard to see how that win won't propel us forward.

Oh. Well he can **** off!

Chiefs fans for over a decade.

Lol, you can tell he was just waiting to use that. He probably thought of that after the Royals swept the Orioles last year, and had had his thumb on the "tweet" button ever since.

BTW, statcast had Hosmer's bomb measured at 452':eek:

I read the SNR post with the assumption he was being grossly sarcastic about Madson/Collins

That's what you call a long ball.

I think we really mentally messed up Orioles fans last year. They're going to hate us forever like the Chiefs hate the Colts. Angry bunch, they are.

La canfora is such a ****. Almost as much of a **** as our very own twitter bitch. That guy never did recover to become a regular poster after what the Royals did to him.

It feels so nice to have a team some people actually hate cuz you ****ed all their **** holes raw and packed the wounds with glass shards.

It will live on for an entire generation I believe.

That called strike 3 on Esky to end the 8th was total BS. It was at his shoulders and the catcher framed it down to his armpits. Still rarely called a strike even where the frame was.

You'd think being such free swingers the umps would give us close take calls. But instead it works the opposite.

I think so. I know a guy that's an Orioles fan and I think he's still bitter about it. They really hate us.

ROFL

Guthrie wore a shirt ... and the Royals swept them and danced after stealing 2nd base and they are butthurt over that? God damn. I gave Houston there well deserved props when I thought we had lost the series for being the better team ... you'd think O's fans could've done the same thing

I have no problem tipping my cap to a team that outplays my team.

Cespedes just hit a 3-run rocket shot to give the Mets a 10-3 lead in the 4th. Damn

That's ok. Front runners seal games for you. They put the dagger in. The Chiefs need some front runners. The bottom of the 9th inning changes completely after the leadoff single if we're up only 1 run.

Also the big single, and the triple last year was hardly front-running.

LMAO

When someone posted the Astros thread, my thought was I'd rather see that douche's twitter feed the next time the Royals beat the O's in the playoffs... but, the responses to his tweet this afternoon will do. LMAO

Holy shit. Mets fans chanting "WE WANT UTLEY". Awesome.

It's kind of amazing that LaCanfora is allowed to act so unprofessionally on social media and so much like a "fan."

Most journalists are far, far above, the way he acts on there.

I agree. The guy is a classless tool.

Yeah maybe he's angling for a career on AM radio.

Man I will be glad when we never see Rasmus ugly acne-ridden face, nasty mustache and greasy mullet anymore.

What did the royals do to the orioles besides kick the living dogshit out of them?

Yes...

Became relevant.

Man if you were looking for things to fall the Royals' way:

1) Win Wed.
2) Somehow Texas beats Toronto
3) Beat Texas
4) Dodgers, Cards lose their series - no facing cards or Kershaw/Greinke

You know, it's funny. I was talking to some friends today about the Royals series and how the Astros have just outplayed KC while also getting most of the lucky breaks, too.

And I was fine with it. I wasn't developing hate for the Astros or anything. I wasn't going to spend the next year hating them and desperately enjoying their every failure. I was going to be sad, but that's baseball.

Apparently, Orioles fans just aren't that mature.

It's bizarre considering we swept them. It's not like it was some series for the ages. We strolled into the bedroom, ****ed their wife in the ass, and wiped our dick on their pillow. Sometimes the better team just wins, and those losses should be easy to accept.

He has a lot of bad days.

Yup, I don't hate a team just because they beat us. Hell, if the Astros win this series I'll probably root for them to go all the way.

The O's hate of us should really be directed to their under-performing big time players in the playoffs.....cough cough.....Adam Jones.

They also should have kept Jim Johnson. :D

I'm still in shock to witness comebacks like that in the playoffs within 12 months of each other. I was telling a guy at work, that just doesn't happen. Down 4 with 6 outs left and it's happened twice.

There was a t shirt too guys. East coast toughness can be shattered by printed words on cotton apparently.

The hate of Ryan Madson is just stupid. He's one of our best relievers, his stuff is great and he pitched great in numerous high leverage situations this year. More high leverage than anyone else not named Davis in our pen. He's been very good. 2.13 ERA, .96 WHIP and 8 K's/9. That a lower ERA and WHIP than Herrera and just as many K's per 9 as him as well.

He has been our second best reliever, no question.
