Nope, you have to leave a sliding lane open to the runner now. Now Eric was cleasrlky out and since it wasn't close I would say it wasn't called.

I'm emotional. No reason to call you a reerun.

OMG. THE LEGENDARY MIKE SWEENEY IN THE HOUSE

Looked like Kunitz said if they play behind you, go. Billy looked back, baseman behind him, he went.


Never waited for the pitcher to commit

Butler so busy talking, IMO, that he forgot what the **** he was doing. Simple. Mind bottling, but simple.

Brett being well spoken and politically correct. Wow.

****ing ump

Shields really off so far

Glen Dale, West Virginia speaking.

The whole thing was to have Butler run and either get him to 2nd or get in a run down and Hosmer scores...

And the low strike is no longer a strike again

We're getting shitty calls by the ump while Oakland is getting favorable calls. That irritates the **** out of me.

George isn't drunk?

With the A's plate discipline, not getting those close strikes is killer.

Come on James.

Home plate ump sucks!

****. Needed that one.

Brett has plenty of smarts and tact when he wants to use it.

Not the ump. Shields is missing.

you can't keep pitching behind in the count against everyone in an elimination game. find the zone James

These are the saddest of possible words:
"Butler just got picked off of first".
Most of the Royals are fleeter than birds,
"Butler just got picked off of first"
Ruthlessly sending our hopes down the drain,
Causing us trouble and nothing but pain,
Billy has nothing but shit for a brain,
"Butler just got picked off of first"

Must have told him when he'd be interviewed. Scotch is at the ready in the Gatorade cup.

George is always drunk.

He swung

I wouldn't complain if the ump was consistent

Shields don't deserve them yet. He is off. Bad off.

Every out seems so difficult right now.

Shields really drops that ass low before the pitch

Got that one.

SIT DOWN BITCH!

You likey?

we'll take that call

finally got a call!

Thanks, ump!!

Make up call but I'll take it.

Schaweet. I thought it was a ball, but I'll ****ing take it.

there we go!

There's your make up call

Ump gave us one there

SIT YOUR ASS DOWN!!!

Got one there. Thank you very much.

Sit!

Perez calling better pitches.

There's the borderline call

Wow

make up call...

That was a make up call

Holy shit, that was a terrible call.

He's my ace

That dude has the nerdiest glasses in MLB

This ump is nervous too. Hasn't been consistent at all.

He's no Cookie Rojas

Sougard wearing the 1985 glasses

ROFL

I picture Eric Hosmer as someone who enjoys listening to Drake.

If sogard does anything against us, I'm gonna go beat up the first nerd I see

This batter listens to Arctic Monkeys and Alt-J

Come on James! Settle the **** down!

Rally House just got some free national advertising.

Shields already at 44 pitches.

***OFFICIAL Kansas City Royals Vs. Oakland A's Post Season Wild Card Thread 9...
 

Sit Nerd!

Shields approaching 50 pitches in the 2nd inning.

BGJ gonna only go 5 tonight at this rate

Get it up and throw by this little bitch.

Nice

THAT'LL WORK. GOOD INNING

We have back up.

And Sit!

There you go BGJS!

SIT DOWN YOU MOTHER****ING one who sucks the penis!!!

Sweet! Now score.

Sit the **** down

Relax nerds.

That Budweiser commercial, must have dust in my eye.

I ****ing love dogs. You couldn't ask for a better friend.

BGJ

Ryan and Denny seem to think that was a designed play. Billy wandering off of 1st.

WE GOT THE WHOLE COUNTRY minus CA and DE ON OUR SIDE BABY

**** Delaware

Yay. Royals leading Facebook mentions!
