IN!!

Driving to STL tonight, so I will be listening on the radio.

R's 5
Twinks 3

to the heavens

I'll be at the game tomorrow night. 4th row, behind Royals dugout. Looking forward to my first game at Target Field

Awesome place. I suggest getting seats in the Legends Club sometime.

Would be nice to put the twins down a couple games.

Chris Young should be a much better pitcher in Target Field than Yankee Stadium. Hopefully it won't be too humid.

I think we have a 49.5% chance to win today and a 65% chance to win tomorrow.

let's just sweep these posers!!

This seems like the best option :D

Are you saying they smoke clove cigarettes?

Picking Rios to lead the offense tonight.

Twins lineup shouldn't be as strong as the Rangers. Young should do his thing tonight.

Lineups are out, usual lineup for us today

We're done with day 2 of the draft, I did not follow a single moment of it after round 2, since you really should not care at all after round 2. (unless its a weird situation where a guy with high bonus demands fell to you, but those days are gone now with the new rules)

Out of 11 picks, we took 7 pitchers, 3 OF, and 1 SS

GMDM's got this.

I want all the royals in the all star game because **** mlb that why! If they had their way there wouldn't be any royals at all!

#forNed

Just got home in time!

Good start

Esky gets us started.

I love that 1-2 punch.

Good job Moose. Keep it going.

Damn, needed that to get past the pitcher

Hos just missed one.

Damn. Missed out on a BIG inning

Late call, but pitchfx shows it was indeed a strike.

That took a while to process apparently

Was that called a strike 5 seconds later?

Where was that

Ok now that was the worst non-strike call I've seen this season

Rough start for this ump.

Not being dramatic, that was the worst missed strike call I think I've ever seen. That's a strike at any level of baseball.

CY'S BACK BOYS

8 pitch inning. 7 strikes.

EDIT: and the one "ball" was entirely over the plate.

Nice 8 pitch inning

Nice pitch there.

Sal taking it the other away. I like to see that.

ball was a foot off the plate.

Alex is just :shake:
He's a .250-.260 hitter with little power.
Like anyone else, he can get hot for a week or two, but he's been weak for a while now.

Last out ....of course

Not sure if I've ever seen a worse everyday player than Out. That's his name to me. No last name necessary. Just Out.

Can someone give me the skinny on Ryan and Dennys call. I guess it is a good one.

He loves to poke those pitches that are outside by a foot to right field

So I have to take a shower at some point during the game. Do you take it while we hit or play defense?

I'd be scared of missing one of those acrobatic defensive plays

Next inning Omar is up.

Trick question, during one of the 2.5 minute commercial breaks.

You really need a TV in your bathroom.

Hopefully it's the next inning

That's one vote for showering while we hit.

Wow.

17 pitches in 2 innings.

lol

Whatever the Yankees and Indians picked up on Young to get to him.. the Twins haven't.

Can't complain about Chris Young so far, hopefully he can hold it for 6.

I don't spend much time in there or I would. Plus I only have mlbtv for my computer. I want one on the patio first but DTV is a bunch of bitches. I really should just take the laptop in there. That would work.

or all 9 hitless

Pics or it didnt happen.

Just slap on some deodorant and put a hat on.

I am love just thinking about lewdog taking a shower. I bet his manhood is big since he wants to detail is car so damn bad. He is like the white Jamie Foxx

Have they announced who is playing in the big slick game this year?

We interrupt this baseball game for an unsolicited product endorsement.

This afternoon I got paid to watch minor league baseball as our entire department went out to the Iowa Cubs game. This is normally awesome, but our seats were in the sun, 92 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, UV probably about an 8 or 9, noon start time.

Anticipating trouble (I burn easy) I tried a new sunblock, Solbar Shield. This stuff makes you white as a ghost but is supposed to be extremely powerful. My arms tanned slightly, but I escaped without a sunburn.

OK, we now return you to this major league baseball game between the Royals and Twins.

ROFL

Lame effort by CF

Who was in our outfield when Molitor got his triple for 3,000 those guys were terrible compared to our outfield now. It looked like the yokals on rbi baseball 2

May is losing it. Park one

shit

Twins announcers really wanted them to pick off Cain.

That was too easy for Sal

ALL STARS MOTHER****ERS

O.U.T.

Defense for sure.

Yay for Alex.

Lets go Rios get back on track here

More runs

Coming up

Salvy:

Pitch right down the middle? No swing
Pitch in the dirt? Swing.


Ugh

Great at bat, Sal.

We were doing all the little things early in the year. We're doing none of them lately.

:facepalm:

HORRIBLE
