I'll put the usual stuff in the OP when I get home.

In for the win.

In to watch the whiffle bat offense ride again...........

I picked up chi chi in fantasy. I'm assuming this will guarantee us a win. You're welcome.

Taking the fall for the team. I like it.

Get this shit ready boys!!!!

Time for the offensive explosion!

Bats break out tonight

If this works you'll be a god in this town.

Nice to see the drinking starting early as well.

You seem nice

I always love Friday night games. Last day of the work week, look forward to the weekend, don't have to go to bed early like work nights.

Then the Royals normally let me down on Friday night games. :(

**** you DeShields. ****er was impossible to get out last time we faced these guys.

So what are you drinking?

That's a good start..

and that didn't take long

I've got a Delino Deshields Jr. autographed baseball.

That was a meatball down the heart of the plate.

that was absolutely stupid on cain's part

Poor decision by Cain

Like I said, with our upcoming offensive explosion that run will mean nothing.

Deshields and Brandon moss back to back. What a ****ing nightmare.

You aren't old enough to drink so I'm not sure your excuse for this.

we've been consistently burned on the shift lately

Which team?

Ice Water

OMG me too!

TWINSIES!

maybe your mensies will sync up too???? ROFL

:toast:

Here it comes, Lewdog.

We could be down to 1 .300 hitter by the end of the night.

Maybe yours too big boy!

Oh boy, I am so excited!

way to be poisitive

wow..close..

Keep finding those holes Moose

That's a heck of a call by the umpire there. Tough angle and got it right.

he's out

he's out

And here we go with replay drama...

looked out

So since replay isn't actually very accurate, we wait for the coin flip here.

I wonder if the Slow mo video is available?

That's complete bullshit

I didn't see any definitive proof. Bastards

shouldn't the reeruned umpires in new york give us a call after they ****ed up the one that lost us the game last time???

Convenient that it was and he was called out. Very convenient.

The coin flip in New York just didn't go our way tonight.

LOAD UP ON ONE HOS!

but they couldnt get a call right that didnt even need slow mo the other night

I thought he was pretty clearly tagged.

and i thought the guy the other night was pretty clearly out

Right. That's the coin flip when they do that. An actual coin flip I am convinced.

(long way to go)

well...this is already taking on the feel of last nights game

Hosmer Whifs on ladies night.

Does New York have camera angles we are not privy to? I saw nothing definitive on the TV broadcast.

He's laying the lumber after the game.

alnorth

(L) Edinson Volquez 1IP 1R 1ER 0BB 1K ????

It's a shame they only make 15,000 of those.

he was out but you could make the inconclusive argument

Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose

league's all.."there ya go, royals...we got our replay fixed!"

And why doesn't the league mandate those cameras that slow it down where you can see what happened.

Holy shit, Moose

twins and tigers losing

MLB could easily put those micro cameras inside each base.


I think they don't completely embrace technology because they enjoy the controversy and discussion. The human element is tradition.

saw that coming....paying attention ned?

isn't it ironic everyone is starting to run on us??

What's the interference rule? It sure looked like he hit the glove..

Nice pitch.

...and Hosmer drops from the .300 club.

and then there were two...Will Morales hang on? I say yes.

kendrys, gordon, rios due up

It was clear and obvious. Moose was definitely, without a doubt, out

Curtis Nelson gets to **** that lady?

Hey Curtis, I'll give you tree-fiddy.

They do.

The other day they had a glitch come at a very bad time where the umpire had access to the real-time video where you couldn't tell, but no access to the slow-mo frame by frame video. The glitch was apparently fixed a couple minutes later, but it was way too late because we aren't going to wait 6 or 7 minutes on technology issues.

They have been pushing those "championship rings" all season.
Who would buy one of those?

that little pig needs to drop like 10 pounds and she would be decent looking

well at this rate we might score 1 tonight
