Also, damn it's good to have a neighbor who works for the team and is convinced you're a lucky charm!

Dude, I'm not sure ANYONE deserves this more than you. Literally there isn't any person here that would make me happier hearing that from. I'd be happy for anyone, just sayin'.

Great! Let's see how well Nelly likes/can run down our "lucky" base hits in LF.

Hootie · 10-15-2014, 01:20 PM

Yep, that's their typical lefty lineup. Makes for a DAUNTING 1st inning. Vargas gets through that unscathed, we'll be aight. Can't make any mistakes against 2,3,4

I'm shocked they took out De Aza. He wasn't doing shit against us, but he's a very good hitter.

That being said, the ordering of this lineup makes a ton more sense for them. Hope it doesn't lead to shit.

Rasputin · 10-15-2014, 01:27 PM

I heard the chant Let's go Royals last night and thought what a great chant that was so much better than that stupid OOooo oooo oooo stupid chant the Orioles crowd was singing in Baltimore and I'm not being bias or anything at all.

Perhaps his 12/87 slash line with a whopping .401 OPS against lefties has something to do with it

Hootie · 10-15-2014, 01:29 PM

That's been their lefty lineup for months now. This isn't some managerial juggling...

bsroyals54 · 10-15-2014, 01:30 PM

They only got 1 run off Guthrie and their only offensive threat was in the 3rd inning. I'd say they're on the ropes.

Because Vargas is pitching?

Rasputin · 10-15-2014, 01:34 PM

This maybe our best chance to win it all in several more decades but I can't help but think that this team can even be better next year provided Dayton keeps this team together.

Ain't even worried.

Vargas had some bombs against him vs the Angels. He worries me.

Gary S. looks like a total douche w/ the hoop earring. Horrid!
