Forecast for Friday: Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms expected. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the low 60s.

yup. taking the raingear. meeting up with baby-brother. taking best friend and his son. hopefully it'll hold off 'til late.
haven't been to an opening day in around 8 years. today was sucking a frickin' downer. but with that being said, still stoked. can't wait.;)

Wish I could be there. As much as I really don't care about baseball, I loved going to the K.

You never take me anywhere anymore. You're ashamed of me.

Three day weekend in this bitch.

Damn right I'll be there and no rain gear needed. Going on a vendor's dime in a Diamond Suite.

Royals are already down by 3 runs.

We got this. Go Royals!

I've been to a bunch of opening days, but can't go this year. Have to work and save precious vacation days. I'll be with you guys in spirit.

Probably. I can't tell you how many times I've been to a game and our tailgate has run a bit long(about the only benefit of being a last place team), only to walk in at the top of the second and have the Royals losing by multiple runs.

I know man. I try to go to about 3 games per year, and I seriously have been to only probably 3 wins in the last 7 years or so that we've been going.

I go to a lot of games. We always lose. One year I went to like 12+ at home, 1 in STL, 2 in LA, and saw 2 wins.

I've never really understood the fascination with Opening Day. Expensive tickets, disorganized cluster**** of a stadium, generally sloppy play this early in the year, etc. I've never been to an Opening Day that I ever looked back on and said "Wow, what a great game."

The one when Beltran hit a walk off homer a number of years back was pretty special

Of course.... I missed that one.... :cuss:

We win about 75% of the games I go to. I bought season tickets this year.

I have been to a couple and I like the ones that are also opening the season. But nowadays the season opens three times so even this season probably would not have felt that special. The past opening season ones though have a unique feel, especially for us because we aren't in last place yet at that point and the "anything is possilbe" is still alive and well regarding the season.

Just heard Hochevar's presser. Impressive number of cliches used. No content. All fluff.

I'm right up there with you. I've seen far more wins than loses. I need to get season tickets.

To the ship!!

So, is it going to rain tomorrow?

One question: Why don't you go to every home game!?? :cuss:

75% of home games is 60 games then we just need to find about 40 on the road and we are playoff bound :D

not ashamed there, beeftits! just morally obligated. you know....blood, thicker than vinegrette or something clever.:)

LET'S GO HOCH!!!!!

no rain now!!!! great day!!!! let's go boys of summer!!!!

WINNING!!!!!!


and hopefully later, winning!!!!

Interesting lineup today:

J. Dyson cf
J. Francoeur rf
E. Hosmer 1b
B. Butler dh
A. Gordon lf
Y. Betancourt 2b
M. Moustakas 3b
H. Quintero c
A. Escobar ss

Don't really like Dyson at the top, unless his hot AAA carries over. Just because a player is fast does not mean that he should hit first. All about OBP at the top.

That is a interesting lineup but I like Quintero over pena cause pena cannot be trusted behind the plate

Whats with Indians bland ass uni's?

And that's why Betancourt sucks. Absolutely no range.

Meanwhile, vintage Hoch is on display in the first.

Great ****ing start....JFC, Hoch..try not giving up a ton of runs in the 1st

Shut the **** up, Rex. This is going to be a long ****ing year unless this POS gets sent down. This can happen to announcers, right?

FOX broadcast today is pitiful. No count. No gun. No pitch count.

Rex with the "solid offense behind him"

que?

:#

JFC, way to blow the game out of the gate

This is the Hochaver we all know and love!

lol, Dyson

Those two runs are on Dyson. He drifted on the ball and thus was abused.

6-0.

jesus

This is insane

Game over before we even record 3 outs...way to show up for the home opener, Luke, you piece of shit

Wild pitch.

Someone get out there and rip Hochevar a new one. His job, at this point, is to eat innings and preserve the pen. The game is already likely lost. Do NOT go to the pen, Yost.

Royals Baseball.......Only we know how to ruin a home opener!

7-0.

All wheels off.

It feels like this should be way in the past but it doesn't feel like it's way in the past. Because it isn't very much in the past.

****ing hell Hoch u blow

Glad I didn't take off work to go watch this crap

just turned it on, how the **** is it already 7-0

Rex: This isn't Hochevar's fault.

No bullshit. Not the exact words, but this was the essential statement.

Time to go to the bar.

**** this.

7 runs on 8 hits......in the 1st inning....GAME OVER

What a bunch of $hit...........damn already.

The "Our Time" commercials are ringing a bit hollow currently.

I guess that the top of the first doesn't qualify as "our time".

Nobody entertains a crowd quite like the Royals

LOL.... only thing worse would be a torrential rainstorm down 7-0....

"Our Time" bitches............

Yeah, it isn't like he was the pitcher or anything

Why is Gordon not in the lineup?

Butler doing his best to end the inning

K, I hadn't seen the lineup.. I thought with Gordon not leading off he was not in

dang. I was hoping for a different attitude to start the attitude, but they look like they are hungover out there.

Let's go rain out!

No that would likely be our only savior today. Come on rain! Hard and long! Oops... couldn't get the game in.

Looks like I didn't miss much.

Blues suck cock last night, then the Royals decide to receive the snowball. Why do all my teams suck?

Game is over may as well have Luke throw 100.

Got about as much chance of rain as we do winning

So glad we went after some good starting pitching this off season

A "rain out" would be good, make it happen.

Yep. He has to take one for the team now unless this thing gets surprisingly close.

Losing to the A's and Indians ... Leave it to the Royals!

Hoch is dealing now LMAO

Low leverage = Hoch at his best. Always been that way at both the macro and micro level.

Game out of hand? Dealing. Season essentially over? Dealing. "He's turned the corner!!!"

Sweet.

We need a round of beers to the bullpen..... Beer to the bullpen please!

No wonder Ned Yost hates opening day....

Let's hope Hochevar is getting this out of his system early. You can't have too many blow up games like this from the top of your rotation. Seriously, what a turd of an opening day inning
