I am both nauseated and shocked.

Shocked that Yuni walked. Twice!

Nauseated by the pitcher’s arm. Ew.

Too bad I missed this one. Guess I’ll just have to wait for an appropriate thunderstorm in 2011.

Should that last one even count?

Do walks count if the batter never goes to first? I’m pretty sure Yuni just celebrated and never actually went to first.

Yikes........

The one guy that has a valid argument as to why his team played questionably is blasted EVEN BY THE MODS!!!!!! That, good sirs, is downright RIDICULOUS.

You would think Ranger fans would be taking this loss in stride

After all, they are about at 95% or so to make the playoffs, according to BP.

Only thing from this game they should be worried about is Cliff Lee

They just don't disagree well

It probably has something to do with everything being bigger in Texas, but I don’t know how.

I just did a quick "word search" in my browser in the LONE STAR BALL post

Fuck appeared more than 100 times
Ass appeared 26 times
Shit appeared 37 times

So this is what it feels like to be a playoff team?

I loathe David Glass

by RoyalJHWKR on Sep 1, 2010 1:11 AM EDT reply actions  

Ha! Yeah.

Someone should patrol every team blog and find out if any fans are truly happy out there. You’d think Yankee fans would have nothing to bitch about, what with that trillion dollar budget and all, but I have no doubt that they bitch harder than we do.

It's fairly obvious that a good team expects to beat the Royals every time out

and for the Rangers to score 9 runs against the Royals and lose is unforgivable. If this had happened against a better team i don’t think you would see quite the outrage this has generated.

Just wait until we see the people we attract when the Royals are in the playoffs

I have faith in Royals fandom, but not that much. Maybe they’ll stick to facebook.

but it’s still hard to read during the season. The off-season reading is actually enjoyable…

I think having AP helps us appreciate the community here at RR

While the info there is top notch (even overwhelming), there are so many people and so many comments of all types that it doesn’t have the same “neighborhood” feel that’s RR does. —there’s no real better/worse, just different, but if the RR community started to get big and comments look like facebook, I definitely would be bummed.

I love the Cliff Lee porn during rain delays.

Now we’l;l have 3 games to choose from. Imagine Blomqvist’s interviews for hours during spring training about his late game appearance/heroics.

What a bunch of knuckle-dragging degenerates. GLASSUX looks like a rocket scientist compared to them.

Whatever !

I’m right, you’re wrong! Stupid, ass hat.

If this is what it takes as fans to be part of a playoff team, we are all seriously slacking.

Have lots of Texans here too

Working for the oil companies, including a few of my colleagues (who I have to say are charming).

In fact, Alberta is used to be known by some as the Texas of the north, on account of the two main industries we have in common- Oil and Cattle.

No one was obscenely angry we lost to the Royals, we’re obscenely angry with people who read too much into a loss to the Royals.

Geez

Cliff Lee’s arm looks like it’s going to snap off in that pic.

Taking bets on how long it’ll be until CL’s next trip to the DL.

Pretty sure Cliff Lee is left handed...

I still think you will be awesome, but for the love of God, please stop getting hurt.

I just saw these highlights on sportscenter

Man was that the best Royals game this year. With BLoomquist stealing home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth. And Alex Gordon swinging the bat and not striking out!

I liked the Gordon walk off HR game more.

after a couple of good starts after the trade he has really come down to earth

he signs elsewhere for 5 years in the off season

He's too amped up from the transition away from the depressing Seattle weather.
