Having trouble finding that... link?

Heh, pixie dust.

Salvy homered in an intra-squad scrimmage. My girlfriend said she only wanted a picture with one player and it was Salvy. He kindly accepted. Must have been the good luck of her!

Depending on a few things, I may just go gay for Salvador Perez. NTTAWWT

Count me in!

I think I am already there. :D

Maybe she likes him better than you...

:)

Btw cool pics.

I can't wait for the season to start. I have more excitement about this one than I have most of the last 20 years.

We're going to suck because we didn't trade Soria in his prime for the guy who's going to be the backup at 3rd, a middle reliever and a 3rd catcher. /CP

:D

He won't be posting in these threads if the royals win more games than the O's. He's going to lose that one too

We'll always have April, even if we do end up sucking. The fun of baseball is lost on the grumpy old men of CP :)

I believe! Again!

I have fun watching the royals all year long.

To make up for it, check out some Royals Boobs on Twitter. I promise it's not just a bunch of Francour photos.

got my tickets in the mail today. cant wait to go to the k

I promise to be as upbeat and optimistic this year as last year.
And the year before.
And the year before.
And the year before.
Why?
Because I feel more like I do now than I have all day!

im always optimistic....until their obligatory 10 game losing streak in April or May.

The dynamic pricing could be interesting this year. I purposely didn't renew my season tickets because I didn't want to get stuck watching Hoch and/or Chen for a bunch of games. I figured I'd buy tickets on the secondary market for the Shields/Santana games. It will be interesting to see if those games go up in price in addition to their typical premium games.

That definitely did not need to happen. LMAO

Can you post the video some other way?

I can't view it for some reason.

Nor is it available on YouTube yet.

EDIT : These are all of the embed options. None showing up for me but sometimes others can see what I cant for some reason.

Damn foreigners!

Pretty funny though!

Wow

Does dynamic pricing include the Royals paying me to come watch them in September???

I think it means "college night" is going to be more expensive for men over 40.

Can we take that damn Tigers logo out of the opening post? I'm sick of seeing it every time I open this thread.

Ask and ye shall receive.

How does Dynamic pricing work? Does that mean you pay more for "marquee" opponents like the Yankees, Angels, etc....? NBA games are like that.

Pretty much. Yankees, Red Sox and Cardinals games were already $5 more per ticket but the pricing is going to get more complex then that. I know Cardinals and Cubs already have dynamic pricing and I am sure others do too.

It's pretty much any game that is in demand, not specific to just opponent. I could see promo giveaway games, James Shields games, etc.

In other news, MLB apparently has given the A's a set of guidelines to meet in order to be allowed to move to San Jose.

I think Buster Olney nailed the analysis on this one.

Sal Perez is the man.

Is that Paulino in the second half of the tape? Looks like he's got a beer gut?

Giants own that territory so its no wonder they are making hard for the A's to move there. Personally I think Portland would be the ideal spot. Its a city that is between St. Louis and Kansas City size and only has one pro team. It would be the best IMO. The Giants would be become powerful money wise since they own the Bay Area then. A's would have better chance in their own market.

Well, I was reading Grantland because that's what I do sometimes, and came across this story about MLB's archived classic video clips page. Pretty sure people have been bitching about their hoarding of these clips, and now I guess they decided we're good enough to see 'em.

You guys might have seen these, but maybe not...

Nice clips....Yankee tears......they're delicious!!!!

How many times did that ****ing Jackson end our season? Bastard!

Or this, maybe?...

I was at that game. Most awesome sporting event I've ever been to

I was at that game too. I took my old man to pay him back for all the Chiefs games he took me to as a kid and teenager. He passed away a couple years ago. One of my best memories with my dad. Still puts a lump in my throat.

I took my Mom and Dad too along with my little brother. I think the old man was proud that I wanted him to go. He died at 51 two years later.

To our Dad's George.

The MLB At Bat 2013 app was released Thursday. It's invaluable to me since I live out of the KC area, but even if you live in the metro KC area it's worth the 20 bucks for the season.

Brandon Wood hit a 2-run walkoff HR today to beat the Rangers.

Heh. Didn't even realize this minor league HOFer was in camp.

I haven't really been keeping up, how is Miguel Tejada playing?

You're a good man.


My folks went without me though. I got to enjoy the moment with my relatives who were babysitting us.

Is he really going to be starting AGAIN for you guys?

Almost comical, isn't it?

:facepalm:

I'm sorry. I'm as dumbfounded as when they kept trotting Kendall out there.

c'mon guys!!!!! we gotta pimp the frenchy quarter promo again this year!!!!!




/really? just stop.

Francoeur was the worst everyday starting player in the majors last year. The worst. Why is it always the Royals that win these dubious distinctions? It really gets old.

Don't you know how hard it is to find an outfielder who is so nice and friendly!!!

/DM

I'm dumbfounded as to why the Royals brass gave Hochevar a new deal.

I would have almost paid him that much to GTFO of Kansas City

Nosotros Cremos!!!!

I will be at the game this afternoon. Windy as **** here!

Give Frenchy a good kick in the balls from his fans back home here in Missouri

Baseball Prospectus is predicting 78 wins for the Royals and a 4th place finish in the AL Central, with a 12.1% chance of making the playoffs:

Sooooooo the Myers/Odorizzi deal would be halfway to fail town then, right?

Well, I would guess BP probably didn't think much of Baltimore or Oakland last year and they got in. The Royals will never have an equal chance to other teams based on economics so they have to take a shot here and there when they get a decent look. It's possible the Shields trade will fail but there's certainly no assurance keeping Myers would've resulted in the playoffs either. Now or in the future.

I just saw the sweet hats they're currently sporting.

I really dig them.

I've checked Lids. Can anyone find them if they're available to purchase?

Chilly as **** for Arizona weather and crowd was sparse as shit!

You just had to show that piece of shit Francouer.

Nice pics, though!

That is a great looking ballpark.

I found the hats.

Didn't realize they were mesh-y.

Yuck.

I talked with the guy behind me for about 5-10 minutes. We discussed what a piece of shit Frenchy is, me first saying how he was the worst outfielder in MLB. The guy behind me saying, let's not stop out outfield, how about all MLB!?

We also talked about how dumb it would be for the Chiefs to take an OL with the first pick and we both agreed to being on the Geno bandwagon.

He was at the game but had to leave early to catch a flight back to KC where he said he has lived all his life. Which one of your queers was behind me!?

Did you feel something rather large up against the back of your seat the entire game?

How many times did Frenchy strike out today?

Well it wasn't a vanilla tootsie roll so I know it wasn't you!

I may or may not have been drinking so I am not quite sure....

Well, at least you remember what it tasted like.

ROFL

Oh shit...well played.

Only Perez and Escobar have better averages than Francour through two games :) he had a single and triple today
