Let's sweep these **** faces

This entire series will sell out. A little bit ago, there were reports that tonight almost sold out and they were going to start selling SRO

Put these posers away once and for all.

The K will be rockin it tonight and the Royals will give us a win.

Ned's got his lineup out early as usual. Everyone's back.

Last time we faced Minny, they let us sweep them after a bad losing stretch. Looking for similar results this weekend :)

Sweep these clowns...

Winning 3 of these would be outstanding.

Destroy these chodes.

A Twinkie sweep would be outstanding.

In

Damn. That's awesome.

Cue PB.

No place like home, lets do this.

Nothing like a 79 mph slider at the letters for the K

Is Young our ace now?

We don't have one.

Hell of an AB by Mauer

This will be my only game thread for this series btw, I'll be way too busy during the 4th of July weekend

Its really absurd that no one else gave Chris Young a major league offer

****, get 2 outs and can't put them away...pitch count getting high already too.....

That'll do.

a lot of pitches that inning but got out of it.....

Now we don't need to let Gibson off with an 8-pitch inning here.....

We probably will and if we do it's not like we haven't seen it before.

good job, moose

Molitor still hasn't learned we see

There goes his hitless streak LMAO

or 9...****

Sano might be a beast.

much better inning..now let's ****ing score some runs

Good to be back home, where a routine flyout is a routine flyout

I really don't like Hosmer

at least we made him throw a few more pitches...

:facepalm:

Good bunt there.

he'll steal 2nd now

Nah, we'll just gift it to him

LMAO thanks dumb ass

Then he gifts us an out :thumb:

come on young, get his ass

Good inning CY

Easy come, easy go I suppose.

well pitch count is coming down but still 6 above where he'd like to be

Damn, bad luck for Rios

That was a pathetic at bat. Even for all star Omar.

Where are all the haters tonight?

****ing Gibson.

Since there has been no score, the haters just have their foot in the door right now. Deciding if they want to take a step in the room if we start losing.. and slamming the door shut, not showing up, if we were to take a lead.

Go Kauffman Stadium!

Cain normally has that I think. Even though that's a tough catch for most CF.

I cannot get over this guy's size!

Nice job CY

Not a hater just some of us sit back watch game and let Pete take over. Chime in when have a great notion.

Is Sal tired he has been letting a lot balls get by him lately.

can we get a rally going?

haha..good job, hos

Nice Hoz

Alright Kendrys, I expect a bunt single here

that just couldn't squirt through, could it?

Damn Mauer.

wild pitch here would be choice

okay, saly....big hit here

C'mon Salvy.

patience, sal, patience

ugh, this won't end well..if he took until he got a strike he would have just walked

Pitching coach probably told Gibson not to throw Salvy a strike.

Salvy waiting for one outside out of the zone

Locked him up

CRIPES SALVY

Sal with the let down.

:facepalm: ****ing wow

in 6 pitches he threw 1 strike by accident and struck him out....

Ugh, ****ing ugh.

Sal taking close pitches striking out looking every now and then is actually a long-term positive thing imo.

not much on tonight. had to switch to the game. o

I don't know what Sal was gripping about he was struck out the pitch before and got a good call.

and now it will come back to bite us

Never fails. When you screw up an opportunity, the other team usually comes up next and does damage.

Geeee.. imagine that...

Why are the Royals bringing the infielders in?

uh, play at the plate???
