Nice

What's the "technical analysis" sat about tonight's game?

Well, it's gonna be like...

Ay you yanks, we da royals and we gonna win, yo.

And then we stomp them.

We're gonna win.

Eddy needs to get back on track with a win today. We need him to be a stabilizing force in this rotation

There will be moose dong today

Laid $ on the Royals since I'm in Vegas. Based on how my gambling luck has been this weekend, I'm going to apologize in advance

I think it's a wise gamble. We have the pitching match-up as far as numbers are concerned, and the back end of our pen is at full strength.

I think it is neutral at this point. This is our first game of the year after being at +10, so it is unchartered territory. petemetrics say we're at +9 for the fourth time, so if we win it signals a possible win streak. If we lose, a losing streak is signaled.
So, you can see this is a pretty big game.

Lineups are out. Gordon has the day off.

Hope I get to see it.

Funny. I look like that at every Jags game.

LOL. Please say that is either you or someone you know.

That gif is perfect. You can use it for nearly all situations and occasions.
