Must win game with the Twins storming into town this weekend.

I'm very surprised that the Mets are only -120 with a Young vs Syndergaard matchup.

Going to the game! GO ROYALS!

Yep, lose this and we are DONE.

I hope we put the kind of beating on Shytergaard that Zach Grienke got on Opening day. Hate this guy! What a classless pos.

Go Royals let's beat these guys again!!

Noah Syndergaard rookie card.

Apparently, the ring ceremony is early enough prior to first pitch that the Mets aren't forced to watch if they don't want to. I'd strap them down like Clockwork Orange.

In it to win it.

Nasty nut mojo!

Seems reasonable to me that the Mets would kneel and smile respectfully during the ceremony. And Noah could really bury the hatchet by kissing Escobar's ring once presented.

Would like to invite everybody here to also add a post or two in the RoyalsPlanet thread. You will make Hootie's day.

never heard of her. :D

In to ass rape Suckgard.

As a D-Back fan that game last night hurt. It was cool when Grienke drove in the first run of the year but he then followed that up by giving up 6 runs the next 1/2 inning. :cuss:

Watching the replay of WS game 5 on FSKC. Going to the 12th inning now. I hope we can pull this one out soon, my nerves are shot!

For our pregame entertainment I am going to be reposting my favorite comments from the Mets gameday Reddit thread from Sunday.

Thanks and rep, Reynard. Holy shit that was awesome!

In. The parking lot isn't as full as I thought it would be.

Crowd was sober and kinda lame by KC standards on Sunday. Hope they kick it up a notch today.

KC about to win WS on Fox Sports.
12th inning, 2 outs

We did it!!!!

Yanks/Stro's update: 2-1 Yanks top4.

I think it was over boozed, the parking lot was full when I got there a little after 3:00. Hard for a lot of us people over 30 to keep it going from noon to 10:30.

Maybe some of this was the case. Saw very little drunkenness inside the stadium, though. I kinda chalked it up to ticket prices being crazy high and bringing in lots of high society types.

ROFL - I don't know if I actually saw one high society type in the 10 thousand or so fans that tried to pee all over my feet in the rest rooms...........:D

Opening day was Sunday.

I started tailgating at around 1:30 on Sunday. I paced myself, and refrained from the shots of fireball that were going around. My girl, not so much. She was sitting with one of her girlfriends, and I had SRO. in the 5th inning we met up for a smoke. She was ready to go, and my feet and legs were hurting so bad, I didn't really feel like arguing with her. I was home in my sweats on the couch for the last inning of the game. A part of me is ashamed for leaving early. The part that is my actual age (35) and had to work Monday morning was really happy to be comfortable, and beat the traffic. Besides, it was her fault we had to leave. Drunk mama gets what drunk mama wants...

In it to Win it

I didn't figure kcfanXIII as a high society fan, but we all have misconceptions of the posters on here.

I'm pretty high society, and I'd still try to piss on ChiTown's feet.

Well you know the high society types have a totally different set of rest rooms than the common folk. Wine, cheese, urinal cakes...

The costs of fielding a winner.

As long as you yell JELLYFISH it's easily acceptable.

Make that 2-2

These are ****ing awesome !!!!!! ROFL

No. Sunday was opening NIGHT. This is opening DAY.

It'll be interesting to see how absurd the rings are. David Glass wanted to give his players huge blingey rings last year, but Dayton convinced him to dial it back to leave room for a bigger ring if they ever won a world series.

Shit man, I was about to say I'm not High Society, I had SRO. I was definitely high though...

"Let's do it again" David Glass

Ring ceremony starting now

Awesome comments by the Mets fans. They still have little respect for the WORLD CHAMPION ROYALS.

It would be nice to see: Royals play small ball to push runs across (death by 1000 cuts offense), several Mets errors, knock Shytergaard out of the game and start 2-0.

Rios and Holland are being presented their rings today, too. Solid move by the Royals.

What do you think? Those rings look like they are about 60 feet 6 inches away from the Mets dugout.

Dusty Coleman gets a ring. ROFL

They need to pull it away from him right as he reaches for it.

Got home just in time. That was a beautiful ceremony. I hope we get to do it again next year.

Those are some pretty crappy medals considering they just saved a planet probably inhabited by millions.

The OP has been updated with the actual rings.

I wished Zorilla and cueto was there.

Me too. I was thinking of Cueto when he pitches and does his shoulder shrug then throws a strike.

Made it home from work early to see this one!

This is what makes America beautiful

Does anyone know of a good streaming site?

mlbtv.com

You can pay to just get all Royals games this year.

I have an account - but I am in town (KC), so I can't use it.

I may or may not have skipped class :hmmm:

Stream2watch.co

If you have cable you can sign in as, foxsportsgo.com is streaming Royals games for people who live in the market.

Bad ass! Thank you so much! MLBnetwork.com doesn't allow Comcast, but FSGO does! Thank you so much!!

:clap:

I really hope there's no dumb retaliation today. I doubt Young would do it and hopefully not later in game either.

We don't need it.

I'm with you. The Royals seem to have moved on, so I don't think it will be an issue. I am looking forward to Noah getting the cano treatment from the fans though.

Those boos should be fierce today!

Do you happen to know if FSGO will do it all year?

Out #1 but lucky

that was scary!

They should be doing every Royals game that's on FOX. It was a recent settlement in court, IIRC. All of the teams that are FOX-affiliated are doing it.
Glad to hear that I could help, let's get a W today :D

Yo anus.
