I thought we put august 28th, 2014 in our past :(

Gameplan: Don't pitch Bruce Chen.

Oh shit, I'll get a mod to fix, was in the middle of a phone call talking about an order on the 28th, delivery today, yada yada and goofed.

Edit your OP, click go advanced, then you can change the thread title.

Cool, Thank You.

I was always understanding that we can edit anything but the title, that a mod would have to do that.

Why not? /Yost

:banghead:

So thankful we do not get Corey Kluber during this 3 game set. Yet the Tigers do when the Indians leave KC!

This guy has been a Pain In The Ass for us!
 

Carlos Santana is 12 for 23 with six homers and nine RBIs over his last six against the Royals, with five of the homers coming in that four-game series at Kansas City last month.

Any against Vargas?

Nope, only Nick Swisher of the current Indians roster players has a history of 2 dingers vs Vargus

Somewhere Billy Butler is smiling about Salazar pitching tonight . . . .

Test attachment.


OK, this somehow worked, how the hell do I get the pic to come up to show all the time if I wanted to put it in the OP ?

You would need to convert it to an image, host it somewhere, then link your image.

edit: either that or do a complicated table thing, but thats a lot of work

count me .....

In

The Royals just cut Bruce Chen

edit: looks like we'll owe him a 1.25MM buyout in 2015

Wow. Just like that.

A legend's light snuffed out in a flash.

Not really that surprising.

They don't need him in September with the rosters expanding and there was ZERO chance he was making the 25 man playoff roster, if the Royals get there.

And they obviously weren't picking up his option for next year.


See ya, Bruce. Been nice knowin ya. Thanks for the memories (minus these last few months)

Bye Bruce.

Ill miss the glory years when Chen was our #1 starter

Thanks Bruce.

ANTIFREEZE YOURSELF

And take Al Bundy with you.

After last nights debacle, it's time to start a new win streak. Honestly guys,we fans have been spoiled the last 5 weeks with the Royals winning at a torrid pace.

Losing last night was just difficult to take with the way we had been winning, getting the big inning to knock an opponent out. Losing while knowing Detroit had won that day was tough. Sure we are not going to win them all, yet we were doing so well, it's what we the fans expect the Royals to do, win now. We were the beneficiaries of losing for so long, we loathe losing.

Now we get use to winning, we still loathe losing, not as much except the way we lost last night!

Tonight we need to start the winning again, Cleveland wants to get back into this Central race. We can basically take them out, now, sweep them or at least take 2 of 3, if we can loathe losing one.

Too bad they didn't cut Chen two days ago

Sweep the Indians and they are most likely eliminated from the race

I know the chick that was just on Mo Lottery commercial.

Wish I was out at the K tonight. :(

I'll just have to try and enjoy it with you bastards instead. :)

Nice start Vargy

Good start Jason, low pitch count. Damn good thing Brantley didn't pull that!

Runs early and often please. (For us)

Aoki: "Here let me give you an out by purposely slapping it at an infielder." That was his mindset

I think the Indians pitcher tonight could end up being an ace in coming years

Easy 1st for both pitchers.

Who is Detroit playing tonight?

Oh, the White Sox.

Go SOX!!

SIT DOWN BITCH

Chen had a pretty nice run with the Royals. Good for him. Hope he catches on with another team if he wants to continue playing ball. If not, I'm sure he's made enough $$$ to be set for life.

I know the game has changed but I hate the smiling, laughing and chit-chatting with a guy when he gets on base.

Somewhere, Bruce Chen is telling a joke.

This...

ballgame

Dang...

Vargas can eat a fat ass dick.

Especially when the guy playing 1B or SS is losing by 5+ runs in a hopeless loss. ****in' annoys me

That's a Billy Butler trademark. Jeff Passan mentioned the other day that he thinks Billy had gotten tired of chatting up the guys in the dugout and is now thrilled to have a league's worth of new players to run his mouth to at first base. He said he credits Billy's success more to him being happy about that, rather than just being able to play in the field, lol.

**** the I-words!

Which brings up the question, baseball is basically a job for them. If they're winning or losing, it probably doesn't matter to them as long as the checks keep coming? They have probably the best job on the planet.

Detroit down 1-0

I bet you are miserable all the time!

Well, in certain organizations that's true, however, other organizations demand success so there has to be pressure.

Does Salazar cut his hair and mustache like that or does it just grow in that way?

Locain Locating

How about a 3 run HR Moose?

Time for a Moose Taco.

Fat chance, although he has reasonable success vs the Indians

I'd consider letting Cain bat leadoff when he's hot like this.

Come on Moose!

0-2 he's in protect mode

No Moose Dong this time. :(

DAMMIT

**** you moose

Nope.

I'll check back in around the 7th when the Royal's heating pad has done it's thing warming up the bats.

Ballgame

Jesus ****ing Tap-dancing Christ!

Our damn pitchers with their errors.

Let salvy take that shit

Billy you pussy.

Let's just hand them the game

Jason and Billy!


Wonderful!

Thats why he doesn't hit HR's anymore. nice guys dont hit 30+ homeruns

This team is just trying to lose

****.

**** this team....**** them right up the ass, even

Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh........
