In for the sweep

obligatory bruiser comment

In for the sweep!

I like!

Just landed in Denver, I can smell Elways horse breath and donkey poo from the tarmac. First trip to Coors, in for the sweep!!

Let's do this!

In for the win!

LET'S GO ROYALS!

Jorge De la Rosa isn't a bad pitcher, so it might be a decent matchup. Let's hope Duffy is on tonight.

FYP

7:49am, really???

LMAO

12 hours prior to first pitch is a big deal for a game thread?

No, it's a friendly jab at alnorth because he did the same to Bruiser the other day.

Let's keep it going.
