Not winning a Stanley cup since 1967 is the same thingy as the Chiefs not winning a SB since 1969. It's just painful and awful experience to go through. So I gave up on them. They just care about making money.

calling it now: triple to right

This is one of those lineups that just has it against the Royals at home.

While i agree the Jays kill lefties, Duffy hung a lot of curves and could not spot his fastball anywhere other than the middle of the plate.

Did Rex just say Dyson should drive one out of here?

[bsroyals54]

Good eye Dice

[Al Bundy]

Dyson got clowned hardcore there.. lol

[MeatRock]

LOL Dyson.

[bricks]

SWING AND A MISS......HE STRUCK HIM OUT!!!!

[KCCHIEFS27]

How are you not expecting a fastball in that situation?

If you say so. That will make the disappointment when he inevitably leaves (for anywhere, it doesn't have to be Toronto) even stronger.

Of course he'll likely leave Minnesota

I'm not a moron, dude. 99% of NBA players will play for more than one team in their careers if they last beyond their rookie deals. Even iconic franchise guys like Malone and Payton left to play elsewhere.

Wiggins will be here his rookie year, and if his career is as successful as most people think it will be, he'll be in line to make quite a bit of money in his next contract. That contract will be with Minnesota.

What happens after that is anyone's guess. But I can deal with two contracts for Minnesota. That's what Kevin Garnett did. Even Kevin Love (but he was a pink-skinned goat-****er).

Know where he's NOT going back to? Ever again?

Toronto.

Yeah, i'm not defending him on that. That lineup will make a pitcher pay.

[tk13]

Let's put it this way... when LaTroy Hawkins was drafted by the Twins, George Brett was the defending American League batting champ.

[jimidollar]

Two hits that innng. Nice.

That's fine. I don't really care either way. It's just...you seem a bit worried about the possibility.
