>>75337122
falling for the paulo will continue to bat over .300 meme
>>75337122
Lack of options for the other guys on the bench. He was the odd one out
>>75336936

*goes 2 for 4*
>>75337262
oh the first one definitely was white, she's just got a fat ass
I wouldn't really classify her as white trash either desu
>>75337327
leg tattoos send you directly to white trash do not collect $200
>>75337357
what is with the autism about tattoos on this board lol
>>75337320
Time for copy-pasta.
I don't know if everyone has heard the story of Ol Two Hit Whit so I will tell it here. It all started on a dark and stormy night in May. In Kansas City some of the best men had been shot down like sentry guards takin sniper fire. So they sent a message up to Nebraska to find a suitable replacement or next of kin. The man they sent was a legend, a marksman, a fire branding rustler that goes by the name of Two Hit Whit for his legendary marksmanship. He got right on his horse and rode the 190 miles from the ol storm trading post in Nebraska straight through to Kansas City. Some said no man could make it three days, Ol Two Hit Whit he did it in one. When he arrived with dust and smoke flying all around people tried to talk, tried to ask him questions, tried to engage but he only focused on one thing: the piece of wheat in his mouth. He turned it over and over, dismounted from his horse, looked all around, and those four words he said that day changed the history of Kansas City forever. In a raspy voice, deep and manly, low but intelligible, he said those four words that many still talk about to this day. They came out more as a rumble than talking, but their meaning was clear. He leaned forward and grunted them for all to hear, he said,
I CAME TO FUCK
THE ROYALS ARE BACK
>>75337385
not saying its bad or you should stop just saying its white trash. which bar do i have to go to in san francisco to see these hoes?
>>75337459
kek fair enough
they're near the bay area, not even in San Francisco. Bottoms Up Espresso
>>75337498
do they have alcohol or is it only coffee?
>>75337525
just shitty coffee and non-alch drinks
seeing Pence at The K is bringing back some bad memories...
>>75337558
how many of them have you fucked
>>75337606
literally 0
nice 1-2-3 from hammel
I'm not sure pence knows breaking balls exist
>>75337605
what happened to the stupid hunter pence signs trend?
>>75337685
he cut his hair
>>75337658
he's been swinging at dogshit lately
also still not sure how I feel about Affeldt in the booth
EARLY HITS
Nice stroke Gordo
>>75337705
Bruh him announcing the royos defense was the most awkward thing I've ever heard
look at this kino from sunday's game. its like that scene with vin diesel and the rock in the fast and furious movie
>>75337605
MadBum's starting tomorrow. No Panda, though.
>>75337737
I was genuinely concerned that he just didn't know how to read desu
>>75337792
me on the left
>>75337792
I just love photos like this
>>75337874
literally every fan in that pic is a great reaction image
Jeremy affieldt unironically got the win in game 7 of the 2014 worlds eries
>>75338003
jeremy guthrie unironically started for the royals. what a shitshow
>royals leading the league in starter ERA by half of a run
pretty incomprehensible tbqhwy
im gonna miss hos
>>75338083
don't worry I'm sure they'll find a way to fuck it up
cant watch the game because im studying
h-hope we do good
>>75338125
>le completely wasted swings on strike 1 and 2 man
i wont really. he isn't even trending up desu
>>75338174
mostly talking about his defense
love when Cain hangs his curveballs
fucking recipe for success
>>75338146
>cant do both
fucking brainlets
Are those outfield seats loud with the fountains always running?
>>75338003
>>75338032
Jints fan here:
Imagine if Gordon was sent home from 3rd AND scored. We (KC and SF) might all be in therapy right now for losing our minds.
>>75338212
>implying he is even good at defense
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/lets-talk-about-eric-hosmers-defense/
also pic related for his offensive woes
>>75338266
they dont run during the inning but the answer is still no
GET A HIT WHIT!
>>75338267
i think it wouldve taken a mets tier throw for gordo to be safe
>>75338266
they're not really that loud
why do they have to replay that ;_;
if only gordo wouldve been hauling ass out of the box
>>75338290
like i give a fuck about a first baseman's range. his scoops are god tier
>>75338364
i dont really care anymore. if we didnt win in 2015 though i would kill myself at the thought of it
that series in 2014 was very clearly a battle between equally matched teams tiebroken only by an otherworldly performance by bumgarner. cant do anything but tip your hat
Our offense is some next level ass desu
>>75338517
I'm starting to believe the Muelens batting discipline (lack-off) tweets from last year.
>>75338517
>it's an offense is fucking asleep episode
>>75338435
We got 14, you guys got redemption in 15
Now we both can ceremoniously laugh at the Mets for not redeeming themselves last year kek
kek locain getting in everyones way on that foulout
>top of the 4th in 45 minutes
Manfred's dick must be rock hard
>>75338742
he wants games to score a bunch of runs while also going this fast somehow
>You can only reply to this post if your team has won the Worlds Eries in 2014 or 2015
Is there any reason to think that Ventura wasn't just a piece of shit?
>>75338851
everyone on the team liked him
we are officially on no hitter watch
Giants bros ww@? 831 here
>>75338938
expected nothing less desu
>>75338938
kek
hos shouldve tagged on that
>>75338954
Watsonville
You bang ese
Boch said the hardest part of the surgery is listening to Affieldt do the game kek
>>75339034
he would have been tagged if he tagged
>>75339067
this is what you said to me last time, cabrillo right?
already tired of the moss gidp
>>75339123
I honestly wouldn't have expected anyone to have a worse average than Mondesi coming into this year
Tybposey
did posey marry a tranny?
>>75339094
that is correct
>>75339074
Remember Detroit 2012 (Boch taking out Affeldt):
Give me the damn ball, you're gonna give me a heart attack.

Cain probably wishes he was playing in ATT so he could hit a double like last time.
>>75341203

>Cain is better than smardzija in 2017
Lel

digging this still nonexistant offence of ours, boys
>>75342312
yeah it's pretty great
what would Manfred be thinking if he was watching this game?
>>75342261
pitchers must be missing their spots alot to make those pitches look like balls
>>75342333
LEGALIZE PED's WE NEED MORE HOMERS
