Hope it gets played!

WHOOP. THAT. ASS.

Royc bringing the heat!

I hope both games get delayed until Monday night, when I won't have to cuddle with the gf any more and will have free reign of the TV.

She's a die-hard As fan btw. She said we needed to "take a break" after the WC game. She came around in a day or so. But I'm still not allowed to bring up baseball. Well I can bring it up but she immediately gets quiet and weird if I do.

A day game in New York and two night games in KC...it's possible. I bet Salvy will be behind the plate for all 3 too.

Prepare thy anus RedTurds-Part two

My grandmas fibrosis flare up indicates a strong offensive breakout today.

Hoping Volq can keep dealing. Nice series start last night, let's clinch the series win tonight.

National TV baby!

I get to watch!!!!

Real fans get mlbtv.

Sorry you live in Wisc brah.

Hope this storm ****s off.

And our bats aren't an abortion.

Should Jason Heyward's mom have had an abortion?

Discuss....

My pal Eric just called me. I get a free Crown Seat tonight for this game. Yeah baby! And if it rains, I'll just go inside the club and drink. Whoo Hoo!

Nice!!!

Spend some of the weed money for MLBtv.

Truth.

Damn, we psychologically royalty ****ed em in the mind.

LMAO

I'll take 5-0 again, please!

Tell your girlfriend that since Aug 10, including playoffs the A's are 30-61

And that over that same stretch (since Aug 10), including playoffs the Royals are 65-38 (and 79-41 since July 22)

That sounds like a bad idea. She can probably retaliate in ways he wouldn't like.

I was wondering if they had the authority to move the game up by an hour or two. The hour-by-hour forecast shows the storms showing up in the 8-9 pm window...

Tomorrow's game is on MLBN.

I feel like I've died and gone to Christmas.

Triple header. But it can't start until about 6pm pacific time - when I will be back home. Make it happen!

Gotta smoke it or sell it to have weed money.

Monday's game is supposed to be on ESPN too.

Tell Eric I want to be his pal, I'll PM you my phone number.

That is a dilemma.

:hmmm:

She may have tried.

Weird that the 2,3,4 hitters all named Matt. I hope the Matt's have a bad series.

Floor Matts.

I take him to Chiefs games in my seats to pay him back. It's a fair trade.

Would you guys rather have Carpenter or Moose? Both are having all star years. Who's better?

You can't go wrong with either right now. I might give the edge to Moose just for his defense. Carpenter has certainly proved to be a better hitter over the long haul, though.


If you want to get St. Louis fan riled up, ask who you would take between Salvy and Yaddy right now....

It is definitely going to be raining tonight but it looks like the heaviest of it should hold off until close to when the game should be ending.

Volquez is gonna rape the Redbirds.

Yadi is aging. Can't stop time. But, his ability to call a game, his baseball knowledge and managing a pitching staff still makes him the most valuable catcher in the game.

He is going to be a great manager after he is done playing.

But, I do love Salvy.

Histroically, when we face a good pitcher for the first time, we struggle. Just like last night. We have killed Volquez when he was with Cincy. We know all about him.

Of course a fly ball pitcher like Volquez is a different cat in Kauffman with the large outfield, instead of a band box like Cincy.

He pitched at Bush too you know....:p

Did you guys know the Cardinals are familiar with Volquez?

Hey, are the Cardinals familiar with Volquez? When he was with the Reds possibly?

Word on the street is that the cardinals know Volquez.

It looked like mathena was calling the game early yesterday. Maybe he was just communicating about Lynn's possible injury.

Chris Young had 6 career starts against the Cardinals. What is your point?

The Cardinals have issued a statement saying they can not confirm or deny it as this time.

Just tried Devil's Cut, its about as smooth as I like it, you don't have to cut it much. I'll give it an 8. I've had better bourbon, but its better than the really cheap stuff so it occupies a pretty nice quality to price point.

Hadn't heard that. Damn.

I just got wood.

I'm off to the K. I'll see what I can do to bring home a winnah.

I really like Knob Creek for the price point too.

I don't know long it's gonna take for the rain to get there, but when it does it's gonna be a long night.

Looking at the radar, once the rain gets heavy, the game will be postponed/ended. That is a huge amount of rain. KC already has flash flood watches.

Anyone know if the Cards are familiar with Volquez and how they've done against him?

How much did you cut it?

Maybe a little, not even 25%. I imagine later on tonight I'll just use ice.

There's no way this game's getting in.

Well I am missing the game anyway tonight. Wife says I have to hangout with friends. I'd rather have no friends but watch all Royals games. She says I can't always be such an introvert. I told her I just need to find Royals friends.

p
 

Pete has a graph on that subject that he will be posting shortly. Also did u know BRC saw a World Series clinched live?

:LOL:

Lets add he was safe.

Yeah. This game isn't happening. Sucks...

Is it impossible to move the start time up a couple hours in MLB?

We should get at least the first hour dry with the second hour with some sprinkles. We will just have to pile on the runs so they can call the game after give innings.

Detroit loses

Our women's FIFA team is scary as hell.

****ing announcers just called us a fluke last year

Come get some RedTurds

twinks won

Looking at radar, I'm very skeptical that they will get the game in

yeah, tonight and tomorrow might be washed out

oh well, I was planning to watch cage fighters tonight anyway, so glad I'm probably not missing the game.

BTW: UFC 187 tonight is stacked.

last time you split your attention we lost...just saying

Sorry, LD. I too, am missing the game tonight for a social outing. That and it it's blacked out on MLB.tv. :cuss:

You have me bro :thumb:

Ugh, Fox...Can't say I'm a big Hud fan and Ryan is kind of a douche, but hearing 'foreign' announcers do the game is like nails on a chalkboard.

Didn't even know it's blacked out.

Enjoy your night on the town. Drink lots and wear a bib. Order a Michelada to remind you of me.

Cheers!

For those with MLB.TV - The game is being broadcast on there.

Sorry bro but Mars is much too far of a drive for me.

announcer is right on it..gordon had to "move under it" to make the catch
