This is the Royals. A franchise steeped in an illustrious tradition of homerless lineups. Sure, it may be the new craze for some clubs caught up in this fandangled "longball" hysteria.

But, by George, the Royals earn their runs the way baseball's meant to be played, and won't stoop to join the masses of mouthbreathers and neanderthals fixated by some "Back, back, back, GONE!" shill polluting our national pastime.

I blame the Negro League!

Lewdog go back on vacation!! :)

I've been called up from the minors to start today's game thread.

Can any of you spare a widget?

Sorry! I didn't see this. I have a good reason to start it since I have had good luck with Chen this season.

Looked like an ok week for the boys while I was gone!

Thanks lewdog! :cuss:

Lol.

I hope my return doesn't coincide with shit play now. But that would be just my luck. I returned yesterday and they lost a very win-able game. Nice play Jarrod! :cuss:

Don't unpack just yet...

:)

The Royals haven't won a playoff game since they got rid of the bright green astroturf & the bright orange seats.

Ok, so first we all chip in to send some money to send Lewdog back on vacation. Then we petition to have the blue seats and grass taken out and replaced with Orange seats and turf.


I, with the help of teedubya of course, have fixed the season.

Better idea. Start cloning a bunch of Bo Jackson babies. I've waited this long- what's another 20 to 24 years.

Some of us don't have another 20 to 24 years left dawg

That's complete bullshit. If Schilling wants to pitch a no-hitter, he needs to ****ing earn it. You don't change the rules just because it's late in the game and somebody is getting close to pitching a no-hitter. What if the hitter is Jarrod Dyson and his best chance of EVER getting a hit is to lay down a bunt? Should you just make him walk up there without a bat?

Even if it's NOT Dyson, it doesn't change anything. A bunt single is a legitimate hit. If you don't want the other team getting bunt singles, STOP THEM FROM GETTING BUNT SINGLES. Don't cry like a bitch about it.

That's like Brett Favre laying down so that Michael Strahan could break the sack record. It's bullshit, and it makes the accomplishment meaningless.

Or what if the guy up to bat is sitting on 2,999 hits and the pitcher has a no-no through 8 and 2/3?

Which milestone supercedes the other?

And it's the last day of the season, neither team is making the playoffs, and they're both retiring tomorrow.
