Good Morning all! Chingon here with a very special guest-writer edition of Gems of the Game Thread. With a cup of coffee and a some tasty cornbread cookies I ventured over to goEMAW.com and read dozens of posts so you don't have to. Let's jump on in!!
Pregame:
When is it okay to start discussing celebration strategies?
This thing is over.
Pretty great coming from a fanbase who's only WS champ came after being down 0-2. But then again most of the likely don't even know that because they started cheering for the Royals last October.
NOPE! NOT THIS YEAR! IN YOUR FACE BUB!
Teams Royals have played the past 2 postseasons:
14 A's
14 Angels
14 Orioles
14 Giants
15 Astros
15 Blue Jays
15 Mets
15 Mets are the worst and its not even close.
You can take the Royals out of Missouri, but you can't the Missouri out of Royals fans. If they didn't wear blue you would swear they were Cardinals fans.
Best case scenario: after winning Friday night, the commissioner of baseball says, "hey NY, everyone knows you don't have a chance to win this thing, so game 4 has been moved back to KC."
Gonna win 'em all!
Can't believe this moron thought MLB would cancel a game! What a dumbass!
i just can't believe that the worst team in the NL playoffs made it to the WS
AH OOOOOH GA! AH OOOOOOO GA

oh man she has bog breasts and mentioned KC! i bet this made the rounds at BWW after work! Creepy...
the Mets lineup is so shitty that they just might be able to hit Chris Young in game 4
maybe!
There's a game tonight guys, and we're going to win
I'm not about to let a dude named "Noah" beat us in a World Series game. Some home schooled socially awkward guy who probably wasn't allowed to see PG movies. Yeah right loser.
Yes, we will rock him. Plus Ventura is on the mound, and will almost certainly do something to piss off the Mets and their fans.
I hope Yordano plunks a guy or 2
I was thinking same. Like right before he's due to bat and he knows they're going to put in Morales to hit for him, just nail someone. Of course wait til we're up by 5 runs and no runners on. But really that should be like the start of the 2nd inning
yes. Zeal.
I mean, let's look back. Yordano has pissed off the following:
Hunter Pence (probably)
Paublo Sandoval
Jeff Samardzija
Adam Eaton
Mike Trout
Albert Pujols
Brett Lawrie
Troy Tuloiwitski
Josh Donaldson
Bautista
All the Astros (probably. I mean, he did stare some fools down in Game 4)
The white trash Blue Jays 1st base coach
Most of our uncles I bet
Kevin Keitzman
Probably those white trash guys who jumped our coach in Chicago that one time
Every baseball talking head
about a billion other people.
How many times has he gotten punched? 0
How many times has it mattered? 0
How many domes does he live in, rent free? A billion
I'm not about to worry about what Daniel Murphy or David Wright think about Yordano. No one can touch him. He's a complete badass
Gosh this year has been so great. Remember how butthurt the A's and their fans were?

Well, it worked, Royals. You got what you wanted. We were having a perfectly enjoyable baseball game, and you ruined it. Kelvin Herrera took the fun out of the game and turned it into something darker.
Think of the children!!!!
Somewhere in Kansas City, a young child saw what happened today and cheered, ecstatic that the pitcher he looks up to tried to stick it to that nasty opponent. And that just breaks my heart.
Count him out guys!!!!!!!
If this is the way baseball is played in Kansas City, then count me out. The A's and Royals were not playing the same sport out there, and I don't ever want my team doing what the children in blue were doing. Shame on Kelvin Herrera, and shame on the Kansas City Royals.
The New York Times will be a great read tomorrow.
hmmmmmmm
Yes, real Thor is much more muscled up. Fake Thor is just skinny with long hair.
And this guy might make it through 6 innings if he's lucky, but no more. I'm sure the Mets are looking forward to 2-3 innings of their bullpen before we get to that guy who blew the save in game 1.
sounds good to me
Astros should feel good about themselves. They went toe to toe with the champ.
guys - I hope my guy Lorenzo gets on track tonight.
.143
Ben Zobrist, wife of recording artist Juliana Zobrist, will hit a home run this evening for the Royals of Kansas City.
That Mets crowd on the pre-game did not look like the KC crowd. It is a melting pot!
It is so dirty and savage there.
blue Cardinals
GAMEJesus rough ridin' Christ the mets are dirty
Will Ventura return the throw? I hope so.
eff Yes! Eat crap you dirty mets
I hope we sweep otherwise I just wasted a lot of time.
sorry!
Hitting HR's to the shortest part of the park is so NLy
If this Thor guy beats us it will be humiliating.
Can knowledgable baseball/royals people explain to me the Raul Mondesi thing?
knowledgeable baseball/royals people, that is a Venn diagram that does not overlap.
This next inning is where we get some more runs
This is rough ridin' grade school crap right now
Pretty obvious the Royals want to win this in KC. Also being thoughtful to Mets fans and giving something to cheer about. MLB should thank us.
and from here it got pretty silent....
