****Official Houston Astros @ Kansas City Royals ALDS Game 1 Thread****
 

Game 1 SP: Collin McHugh vs Yordano Ventura

6:37pm cst @ Kauffman Stadium

TV: FSN1


It's finally game day, man what a long week. Time for the good guys in blue to put up or shut up. Put the Sept month behind them, eveything's led up to this point and anything less than a WS will be considered a disappointment. Personally I hope to eventually see a I-70 WS. GO ROYALS!!!

Hold up. I though Alnorth was our post season thread starter.

Oh hell no. alnorth will be at the game so he isn't starting it. But KcNut called it.

****ing aye lets get this on.

In for a Royals sweep.

Ok, let's do this shit.

...and ban the OP if we lose.

RIP kc nut's thread.
Let's do this.
Gooooooooooo royals!!!!!

IN!

Heading to the airport now. Go Royals.

Somebody starts a playoff game thread but hasn't started a game thread all year. Typical.

Won't be a disappointment if don't get to WS. You love a miserable life if you think thst

Ban the one who sucks the penis.

Big day today gentleman. Let's do this.

I thought Duncan called this thread......

Ban COMO if he screws up our MOJO.

I'd be disappointed if they don't beat the 'Stro's, but not disappointed in the entire season. No way. Winning 95 games and the Central. This season has been awesome.

CoMo with the game thread?

We're ****ed.

:sulk:

Let's go baby!!

How has he pitched against us the last couple years and his last 10 starts

Bring it Yordo! Scratch a few runs across early and keep pressure on their defense FTW!

I predict lots of strikeouts for the Astros.

Pisses me off

Let's go baby!!!!!

Has Como posted in more than 5 GDT's this season?

No, he's an asshole

He's only pitched against us one time. It was at the K and he pitched 7 innings of 5 hit ball with 9 K's. That was last year when the Astros came to the K and swept us I think. 6-4 in his last 10 games pitched.

What a douche

Hey morons, the outcome of a baseball game won't be decided on who starts the game thread.





I'm wearing my lucky shirt, so I've got this.

:clap:

I can't believe I am asking this, because I haven't seen it anywhere, but is the final roster set? Gore or Gomes? TIA

Should be out soon.

Mods, can we merge/delete this thread if Duncan starts a thread?

THIS, PLEASE!

I don't have a problem with it. How about I just ban CoMo from this thread? ROFL

Yeah, I'm planning to start game 2, but not game 3.

IN B4 ASS KICKING.

Oh, and BTW, just confirmed. I'M HEADED TO GAME 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaving at Noon and headed up with a friend who scored tickets from a Vendor of his. ****ING A!!!!!!!

Let's ****ing GO Royals!

Before I congratulate you, I must ask:

Are you a jinx or a good-luck charm?

Per 610's facebook
Position players: C: Butera, Perez; INF: Colon, Escobar, Hosmer, Moustakas, Morales, Zobrist. OF: Cain, Dyson, Gordon, Gore, Orlando, Rios.

Pitchers: Cueto, Davis, Duffy, Herrera, Hochevar, Madson, Medlen, Morales, Ventura, Volquez, Young.

I am 6-1 in games that I attended this year at the K. 1-1 in away games

Was 2-0 in Playoff Games last year:Game 3 of the ALDS and Game 2 of the WS

GO ROYALS!!!!

No Gomes. No surprise.

In theory, I like having him. But he's not been good. Ned isn't going to start him in RF over Rios, and he's unlikely to PH for any starter.

Good. I'm down with not having Gomes on the roster. Gore's speed is a valuable commodity late in games.

I understand, man ... but it's just bad form.

Later Dudes. Decided to headed out early.

LET'S GO ROY-ALS!!!!!

I have faith in you my man !

I'm so pumped up. It's been 344 days since our hopes and dreams were dashed...and now we've returned to the scene of the crime to exact our REVENGE on baseball.

Houston, YOU have a problem.

Take. The. CROWN.

Morons, lucky shirt... it was funny.

But yeah, CoMo is basically the kiss of death, so only my shirt can save us now.

I'm hoping we see that Yordano Game 6 swag tonight. 99-102 on the gun with that knee-buckling curve and that shit-eating smirk when he's walking off the mound shaking his head.

Oh yeah, and a few bombs of our own early to send the message.

Last year it was I that carried the alnorth threads during the playoffs, I'm not available this year for it.

Carry on Royal fans!

Hell no.

Is it 6:30 yet?

I'm glad Orlando made it over Gomes. Nothing against Gomes, but Orlando earned it.

Incorrect. I am holding CoMo 100% responsible, and will neg him into the stone ages if we lose.

Lineup predictions?

Wrong

I'm hearing there are a ton of tickets left... WHAT?! How can this game not be a sellout?!

Esky
Zobrist
Cain
Hosmer
Morales
Moose
Salvy
Gordon
Rios

Agreed. Was listening to 580 out of Topeka and they were discussing this. I feel Orlando earned it.

Agreed. WTF?

Holy shit! Neither of the first two are sold out. Is everyone saving their money assuming this team is going back to the World Series? Crazy...

Or that people don't care about the Royals. (Like me.)

I have another hour and a half drive. Please continue to entertain me.

I've been checking on tickets every other day or so because I heard last year they released some tickets as the game got closer. It looks like late yesterday or early today they released some in the very far corners of the upper stadium, but pretty much everything else are single seats here and there. Game two is similar right now. Game 5 has a few more sections with some tickets available.

I have no reason to feel this way, but I hope the Royals don't think they have this thing locked up just because they're on the field. I can imagine that's how every team we faced last year in the playoffs felt when they learned they were going against us. I hope they keep clawing and scratching.

We need the best out of both Ventura and Cueto now.


no more bullshit

**** CoMo, GO ROYALS!!!!

I checked the site and found 2 $150 tickets tonight, and 1 stand alone $380 ticket for tomorrow.

I cant/wont watch if it will help them win.

LOVING that lineup!

I've got a good feeling about this!
