I'll put in the usual bells and whistles right before the game starts.

In for the win. Zobrist goes 3/4 with a couple ribbies.

Rios ain't playing. Dyson starts in RF

Add Gordon to that lineup & nice things will happen.

When you open up an alnorth game thread and the OP is all basic and shit.

Ahhhh hell yeah. I'll be working, but watching along in some form or fashion. I hope we put up a W tonight to get the momentum swinging into tomorrow with Cueto on the mound.

You take that disrespectful shit back right now Bufkin

ZOBRIST MANIA

Especially if adding Gordon to the lineup does not mean he and Zobrist are hitting 6 and 7...

The Zobrist era begins.

Time for Zorilla!!!!!!!!!!

time to skull-eff the blujays, eh.

gooooooooooooooo royals!!!!!!!

Zobrist batting #6, Escobar batting #1. LOL LOL NED. Don't ever change.

Gotta miss it. Brit Floyd tonight. Have fun. STFU Hootie. You too Pete.

Zobrisket!

He could have a guy with .500 OBP & he'd still have Esky batting leadoff & that guy 9th.

Haven't been able to get my wireless internet working since I moved into the new place, so I went and bought an ethernet cable just for you guys.

And Ben Zobrist, him too.



**** Canada.

Get to watch this one tonight!

**** yeah!

Change your name or I'll ban you.

Well, well, well.....what do we got here? A Royals vs Jays game thread!

I'm joining in on this fun. Are you folks ready for some great baseball tonight?

Watch, as the Toronto Bluejays potent, dynamic offense eviscerates the Royals pitching into bits, pieces and dust.

Keep your eyes on Erik Estrada as he carves through the Royals lineup and will make Kansas Citians, Royals players put the definition into "homo."

Stay tuned for the wonderful episode of THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS VS THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS!! **** yeah.

*Go get your popcorn ready you hillbilly slims

Sorry I'm going to miss this.

22 games over .500 to 0 games over .500.

LOL

You suck.

PREPARE THY ANUSES BLUE JAYS

If the Blue Jays win tonight and go one game over .500, that'd be the biggest cause for celebration for any Canadian professional sports teams since 1993.

There are still 60 games of baseball left.

Mark my words, Bluejays are gonna turn it around and make the playoffs and we will see each other there.

If that doesn't happen, I'm not jerking off for a month.

moar metric system

And that actually is a dark outcome for bricks.. because jacking off is preferable to ****ing the fat-on-poutine-and-Tim-Hortons Nunavut coastal whales that most Canadian women are.

This Blue Jays crowd is PUMPED!

Seriously, is anyone there or are they just not allowed to make any noise in Canada?

Struck him out!! Alright Erik Estrada woo!

Thankfully we don't have to see Toronto's denim on denim road unis.

Not much of a crowd. Is it seal clubbing season?

If we all Neg rep bricks, over or under 100 posts in this thread before he's in the red?

Nah, it's the Royal Dominion tournament hockey finals for the 7-9 year old age groups. Everyone's either at the arena or glued to CBC3.

I'm still a baseball n00b and have therefore heard of none of Toronto's shitty players except for Donaldson. Isn't his name Marco? Why does bricks call him Erik?

Dude I'm 27 and even I know he's making a CHiPs reference.

bricks just shit himself.

Load the bases for Zobrist.

HAHA. 2 ZIP YOU HOSERS

Bautista LMAO

One tool player right there.

Where you at bricks?

It's okay it's only 2-0

Nice job, jinxy LMAO

Cuban Breakfast, you one who sucks the peniss!

Interesting stance

LMAO

Nice to get on the board early against this team

Whatever, nice start.

Keep the ball down, Duff.

****. He sucks. Trade him back to Oakland.

I knew that was coming, just not from you.

Now that was a championship inning... make him pay for hitting Cain.

MVP makin' sure we got 2 runs on the board right off the bat, EVERY PUN INTENDED

28 pitch 1st inning... OUCH!

Enjoy it while you can

I know. I was trying to get bricks' goat

He's done that plenty and still managed to pitch 7, 8 innings. He's a trooper.

So help me out, as I been out of the loop. Who has been moved out for Zobrist?

Zobrist DFA him already /cp

We've been enjoying it for almost a year now.

Nice pickup GMDM taking the AL lead in RBIs....like taking the early lead just hope duff man pulls it off

ROFL No you didn't. You just got shown up by a Millenial on a pop culture reference from the years prior to my birth.


SIT DOWN OLD SCHOOL, WE CAKN AND TAKN OVER PATNA.

It was more of a tongue in cheek/snarky/sarcasm joke.

Watching the wind blow across the field is kind of weird in this stadium.

That might end his season

Similar to when you remove the lid from the garbage can.

Tulo out 4-6 weeks with a broken toe.

I'm 34. I'm not old.

Holy ****, I thought you were 50+. Damn.

Dude is wise for his age.

Can't leave it that up Duffy. Get it down.

Duffy is a "lil' wild."

Did they really boo like it was an intentional curveball at his feet?

Not enough mustard on that one Dyson

That throw to home was lame. WTF?

I guess we know what Duffy we are getting tonight.

:facepalm:

Incredibly stupid fans who are tolerating their shit team

Good job Joey Bats.

Is anyone else embarrassed for the Blue Jays playing in that cartoonish stadium?
