Yeah that was awesome. I wish they didn't cut it off so soon.

It doesn't work for me for some reason.

Nevermind...3rd stream works.

Shields :clap:

Great effort today when he clearly didn't have his best stuff.

Shut down the Web Gem competition for the day, because we have a winner: http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=29333709&c_id=kc … Lorenzo Cain.

Lessons he can begin teaching to Danny Duffy, Kyle Zimmer and Yordano Ventura before the close of next season...

Unfortunately I don't see Yost getting fired and I still blame that dipshit for the beginning of the losing streak.

So Minnesota is about to get swept, and the Minnesota feed goes down.

COINCIDENCE???

Should be enough room for Hoch

I love this team. I hope we can carry this momentum into New York.

JIMP

Yost is really not that bad of a manager.

FYP

Do it bullpen.

It really was an awesome grab.

Notice to Ned...I think you found your 2nd baseman :clap:

I really hope we can make the playoffs. We could really do make some noise.

Big **** You to Cleveland.

Low-leverage Luke shutting the door.

I imagine we'll see Duffy sooner or later. Wouldn't surprise me if they wait on Zimmer. They're already skipping starts for him to limit his innings.

This.

I'm pretty sure Luke could be just as successful in the 9th inning as Jim Johnson.

Pretty capable of getting things done with clean innings. Struggles if he gets a man on at all, though.

Go Houston (Baltimore) and Arizona (Texas) tonight.

You mean the Jim Johnson that is better than Mariano Rivera?

No...

Horseshit. No one is good as Jim "Marinao Rivera's is Second to Me" Johnson.

But, but, but............

No shit

Being excited about Royals baseball in August is exciting.

Paulino?

JIMP

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that no REAL analysis of Jim Johnson can be given in this forum. My bad, boys.

Luke Hochvar might be good enough in clean innings to be a second-tier closer like Jon Papelbon, Craig Kimbrel, Mariano Rivera, which is pretty good for those teams unlucky enough to not have Jim Johnson.

Shields walks 5 and still turns in a quality start.

Last time KC started a road trip 6-0 was 1980.

Uh-oh. Hochevar walked a guy...

That's unreal.

Rany brought up a good point: We aren't facing Harvey or Wheeler this weekend.

More JIMP.

JIJB

Man...for a guy that was born just months after we won the big show in '85... This is fun.

When was the last time the Royals won 10 straight?

Jizz in James' Butt?

Easy... Davis on the mound tomorrow.

Close. Jizz in Jan's butt :)

Same here. I was born in February of 1986. I felt like I was always a curse to this team.

I'd love to see a no-doubter from Butler

Don't know, but this is the longest streak since they opened 03 9-0.

Tbd...

****. ****itty **** ****.

I remember the 14 game winning streak in 1994. That was a lot of fun, pretty cool growing up at the time. Chiefs about made the Super Bowl. Royals looked like a legit playoff team. Damn strike.

Yeah, but all of us were saying that a week ago when we were riding a 4-game streak and playing the Sux on saturday.

Surprised Tejada is still in there. I guess even Ned can't stand to watch EJ hit anymore.

Now we know how to fix it....:evil:

We're so close to purging this team of inept players.

Getz- "DL"
Frenchy- Gone
Hoch- BP where he can't hurt us
Davis- ****. ****ity **** ****

His numbers against the sox don't match his numbers against everyone else. For whatever reason, he is lights out against them.

Zactly

Now Low-leverage Louis to close ... although I'd like to see his leverage upped.

NL rules tomorrow so he gets a free out every time through the order. Dillon Gee has been very average as well.

Who are these frickin' guys?

So glad they didn't have Louis Coleman up at the start of the season. He totally wouldn't have been helpful.

NI-****ing-NE in a row!!

This feels purdy good

Wow! Unreal! Did not believe this team had this kind of streak in them!

Hopefully, Duffy can dump Davis' ass to the BP

There Royals have won niiine times.
NINee times?
Niiiiiiiine Tiiiimes.

Sweeeeeeeeep!!!

w00t

Sweepy sweep

4 1/2 back in the wildcard

We won our 54th game on August 19th last year

I love winning. Like, it's better than losing.

Just praying the boys stay hot into next week while Detoilet and Injuns are beating each other up!

wtf is going on, who are these guys

I ****ing love winning!! You know what I'm saying? Its like, better than losing!"

Damn iPad

James Shields has really been on peoples asses to play hard and stay focused. The Royals have needed a Red Ass to chew ass and take names for years.

9 in a row but ****ing Cleveland won again...bastards.

The catch by Cain was ****ing awesome!

We see #Royals is trending. Let's just disregard Kansas City & focus on @lordemusic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlcIKh6sBtc …
